I think self-censorship is skyrocketing currently.

There are a lot of folks who are scared of speaking out against Israel because according to a lot of authorities, that's now considered anti-semitic.

Yup, there's also a lot scared of speaking out against Islam because to a lot of authorities it makes you an Islamophobe to point out that many Muslim migrants bring values completely anathema with the US, Britain, Canada, etc.

I'm critical of both. Nowhere near as much as I dislike Hamas, though.

It's almost like reality is complicated and ideological simplification is the root of most evils - who knew!
