    Some CEOs may have asked. Meanwhile, a lot of people have signed the Harvard letter supporting the Palestinians (I assume you’re referring to that).

    The only reason it isn’t clear-cut pro-Palestinian bias this time around is because of the absolute barbarity and horror that the Palestinian Hamas committed.

      Listen, I lived in the UK when I was a child for about 5 years but I’ve spent most of my life in the US, so I’m not going to pretend like I know too much about the political environment there other than what I’ve seen from the internet.

      But if the pro-Israel lobby in the UK is as aggressive it is in the US (and believe me it’s aggressive), then there isn’t really an equivalence. Yeah radical student activists and academics tend to support Palestine. Meanwhile the both leaders of the democrats, republicans, labour, and tories are staunch supporters of Israel. There are 2 laws on the books in the US that criminalize BDS, a nonviolent movement.
