From students and teachers, to pilots, doctors, and bankers, people are being fired or doxxed for having a socially unacceptable view on the state of Israel. Their support of Palestine may not be any more informed than that of their opponents, but under the guise of protecting certain special groups we are allowing the remnants of free speech to be burned in a proud display of ignorance by every political party. Meanwhile, that very state can call for genocide and label their enemy ‘animals’. Free speech is not simply popular speech, but the unpopular variety, too; and compelled speech is just as dangerous as censorship, which often comes in the form of rewriting texts. There exists a hierarchy of privileges that changes based on race, sex, gender, religion, or a perceived social value derived from one’s opinion. The structure gives special privileges to some groups and totally ignores others. It creates extremely contradictory social policies and uses and abuses every group in its absorbing of power. The political left is finally getting a poisonous dose of their own medicine in their hatred of Israel, as people with all the social boxes checked off are still considered inferior to the all mighty power of that state.
