She’s working at all the prestige places, and I don’t mean to be arch about it, but it feels like the only place with a strong enough taboo to find this disqualifying in white America is on social media among mixed company.
The complete racism is breathtaking. How is she a journalist writing today? Who would hire this?

<p>The Basque Country team beat the Palestine team 3-0 in the friendly match, which was marked by shows of solidarity between both teams.</p>
<p>Palestinians and the Basque have long shared political sympathies, with both involved in nationalist struggles for independence.</p>
<p>The two teams celebrated side by side, arms around each other, on the San Mames pitch in front of more than 50,000 spectators.</p>
<p>"It's difficult to coach when your mother lives in a makeshift tent. I come from Gaza," Palestinian coach Ehab Abu Jazar told AFP.</p>
<p>"We lost nearly 200 people in my family. My house was destroyed - but representing Palestine is the greatest honour there is."</p>

Our answer is no.
Conflating the topic of the discussion as support for the cause is a separate issue.
We’ve drawn this line since users have spoken repeatedly that they don’t want violent rhetoric here.
It’s just a near impossible task to do at scale consistently across languages/context.
