    Criticism of Israel has consequences for both the left and the right. Candace Owens was fired from the Daily Wire due to her criticisms of Israel. Tucker Carlson has also taken some pretty hard hits due to his critiques of Israel.

    Neither the right or the left is united on Israel. On the right, there are people who are:
    1. pro-Palestine, anti-Israel (White nationalists)
    2. anti-Palestine, anti-Israel (White nationalists)
    3. pro-Palestine, pro-Israel (Libertarians and Isolationists)
    4. anti-Palestine, pro-Isreal (Neocons, Evangelicals and Jews) ---- This is where the money power on the right is
    5. Don't care about either country and don't think we should be involved (Libertarians and Isolationists)

    It is kind of amusing to see the far right and far left unite on this issue for different reasons.
    The far right hates Jews and thus they are in camp 1 or 2.
    The far left hates white people and thus they are in camp 1.

    How is being against the Israeli government woke?

    Odd how the free speech supporters have no issue with this.

    Yeah, sometimes the left just stupidly believe that if we cowtow down to the 10% that it won't piss off the 90%. Maybe some businesses have learned from the Bud Light fiasco. 90% is better than 10%. That's the math they don't teach in schools anymore. Tranny education is more important.

    Private company so I support them doing what they want. That said — the comments so far by the typicals that say they support freedom of speech over someone being terminated because of their speech to disagree with a more and more aggressive foreign government is a fascinating thought experiment.

    They were fired for being disruptive while at work, not because they support the Palestinians.

    That is not why they were fired. They were fired for being disruptive while on the job and getting paid.

    perhaps these protesters would like a free trip to the Middle East.
