I've started seeing various stories of people in the media speaking out in support of Palestine and being swiftly fired. I'm very curious if the current state of propaganda is going to increase the chance of people working in non-public facing jobs of also being fired and branded anti-Semitic. I'm scared of this coming up in the workplace because I don't think I'd be able to keep my mouth shut and I could absolutely see certain people starting shit.

It is against the law in some states to criticize Israel. I am not making this up. It is a fireable offense.

I was awarded a project at a VA hospital and the contract had explicit language that any parties involved are not to participate or endorse any BDS action against Israel.
