Very interesting thread from @OmarBaddar here.
It raises important issues about the hypocrisy of many of those who make a name for themselves deriding "cancel culture" in politics while saying nothing about the silencing of Palestinian voices and their supporters. 1/ https://twitter.com/OmarBaddar/status/1356598482761564162

3/ Those who shout the loudest about "cancel culture" and the "silencing of free speech" often say very little when it comes to Palestine.
In fact, many of those same figures are often complicit in the very silencing that they claim to oppose when it is done to Palestinians.
