I think they’re very deliberate about taking it to the work sphere. They don’t want to yell about it on Facebook. They want their pogrom to be fully legitimized and so they’re proudly defending it publicly, all at once, in a professional sphere. Collectively, this gives it an air of legitimacy, like “it’s not just opinion, this is fact, we’ll even talk about it at work.” And frankly a lot of people in the business world are happy to just nod and repeat the mantra of the two political parties: Israel is our friend! The only democracy in the Middle East! It has a right to defend itself! (Returns to making money)
