@mtaibbi I'm sure Zionists always have good faith complaints, and don't complain regularly as a disciplinary tool about anyone who isn't kissing the ring of the Zionist project.

If you’re careful, respectful, and professional with guests and sources. employers will be much more hesitant to push back on controversial views. If you’re the regular source of complaints on the other hand….

@mtaibbi The person is right. It is not even remotely close to why she was fired. You are usually much more sharp in your observations if you want to get down to the bottom of something.
