Teachers and university professors around the world who tried to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians were silenced. An Israeli teacher was fired from his job, arrested, and placed in solitary confinement for criticizing the army.

In November in the United States, the University of Arizona “temporarily replaced” assistant professor Rebecca Lopez and community liaison Rebecca Zapien for facilitating a classroom discussion on the Israeli war on Gaza. Even journalists thousands of miles away from the Palestinian Strip have been punished for daring to speak about Genocide.
