Agreed about taking it up to the line in workplaces, but if pro-palestinians are cowed into silence by implied or overt threats then what's the difference between them and an apolitical neutral? Pick your battles for sure, and the workplace isn't the only arena, but... courage builds courage, and refusing to speak out because of fear leads to more capitulation & more silence. At some point ppl have to take risks and put themselves in the firing line, so to speak. Like he says, it's nothing compared to the dangers faced by Palestinians on a daily basis.
cheers,
