A string of events in the wake of the Israel-Palestine war has me questioning if our rights as academics to speak our minds are in danger. The Harvard student, who lost a job offer because she voiced her support for Palestine. A prominent and well-known scientist, Michael Eisen, was fired as Editor in Chief from eLife because he re-tweeted an article from the Onion. It appears that any voice expressing dissent with the annihilation of Palestine people is being canceled. Again, the support is for the civilians being murdered in Gaza, and not Hamas. It appears that not all lives have equal value.
