Not a surprise. I remember last year seeing that posts to https://www.birdsofgaza.com/ were being blocked, and it's hard to think of a more innocuous way of speaking out.

It’s not only about suppression; it’s about cultivating fear around expressing your opinions. There are groups actively working to have individuals fired for voicing support for Palestine.

For instance, a woman wrote “Freedom for Palestine” in Gaelic on LinkedIn, prompting a group of Israelis in a WhatsApp chat to actively coordinate efforts to get her fired.

The General Manager of Wix, Batsheva (Levine) Moshe, responded in a WhatsApp chat saying:

“Hi yes we know. Being taken care of since it was published. I believe there will be an announcement soon regarding our reaction.”

Wix were orderd to pay €35K for unfair dismissal.
