Hear Me Out: You Dont Need to Post About Israel and Palestine
On today\u2019s episode of Hear Me Out\u2026 when silence is violence.\xa0\n\nThe war in Israel and Palestine is a rapidly-evolving situation \u2013 and one that\u2019s bringing up a lot of emotions for a lot of people. Couple that with the flood of mis-and-disinformation on social media, and \u201cto post or not to post\u201d becomes an extremely loaded question.\xa0\n\nAre you ever required to speak up on social media? Even if you don\u2019t know the whole story? And if you elect not to say anything, is that inherently choosing a side \u2014 and causing harm to others in the process?\xa0\n\nSocial strategist and writer Rachel Greenspan joins us to say that, as a Jewish woman, she doesn\u2019t expect her friends to post about this moment in history\u2026 and maybe, neither should you.\n\n\nIf you have thoughts you want to share, or an idea for a topic we should tackle, you can email the show: hearmeout@slate.com\n\nPodcast production by Maura Currie\n\nYou can skip all the ads in Hear Me Out by joining Slate Plus.
