Someone else told me the same thing earlier on a different comment…
And I just gotta disagree.
I’ve been criticizing Israel’s monetary relationship with American politicians for about 20 years now. Before Facebook was invented even.
Never been “cancelled”.
I didn’t want to explain it because I was being lazy. You can 100% talk about why it’s an issue, especially here. If you find yourself being “cancelled” then you may want to take a step back and re-evaluate what you are saying and looking into the validity of it.
I mean, right now we’re on one of the major communities on our instance, openly discussing it…
Except for maybe these folks plus the people we don’t know about in El Salvador
Mahmoud Khalil
• Syrian‑born Palestinian and legal U.S. permanent resident.
• Detained by ICE on March 8, 2025 in New York—reportedly without a warrant—under a rarely used immigration law citing alleged national-security concerns tied to his activism.
• Held at LaSalle Detention Center in Jena, Louisiana, for 104 days, separated from his family—including missing the birth of his son.
• Released on June 20, 2025, after a federal judge deemed his detention unconstitutional, finding no flight risk or danger.
Mohsen Mahdawi
• Palestinian U.S. green‑card holder and Columbia University student.
• Arrested by ICE on April 14, 2025, at a citizenship interview in Vermont .
• His detention prompted immediate habeas corpus filings; held in St. Albans, Vermont.
• Released on April 30, 2025, after a federal judge determined his detention likely aimed to suppress free speech.

No one is being “cancelled”
