I continue my long-time policy of having no comment regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
What I will say is that wow, people are overreacting here in the States. A CEO demands that Harvard release the lists of members of certain student clubs who support Palestine, for the express purpose of blacklisting them from employment. Another person lost a job offer because they blamed Israel for the violence.
I mean, can I get a national employment blacklist for everyone who said something supporting the January 6th coup attempt? Or a blacklist for everyone who says that Russia rightfully owns Ukraine? Of course not, because this is dumb, and something we should not do as a free society. This is dangerous authoritarianism.
