Speaking out about this issue in any way that smells "pro-Palestinian" has cost people their jobs, and sometimes even their residency and "freedom" in western countries, and is accompanied by smears and accusations of anti-Semitism against people who clearly are not.

I've lost friends of 15 years for remarking on my horror about bombings and civilian deaths. Nothing more.

I can't even begin to understand a mentality which cannot see the absolute asymmetry of power at work here.

The daily protests happen because they're necessary. And they're clearly not enough.
