ICYMI: Should You Post That Israel-Palestine Meme?
b'For the past week, while the violence between Israel and Palestine has escalated, a separate battle has accelerated on social media, one fought with rocket emojis instead of rockets and celebrities like Israeli actress Gal Gadot and Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid getting involved. If you don\\u2019t post, are you tacitly anti-Palestine? Anti-semitic? If you do post and you fumble some of your history, are you nothing but a hashtag activist? (What about if you get right?) In this episode, Madison and Rachelle survey a week\\u2019s worth of controversial celebrity statements and the evolution of one particular viral infographic to ask who these memes and Instagram posts really serve and how to avoid the 2021 equivalent of posting black squares.\\nPodcast production by Daniel Schroeder and Derek John.\\nSupport ICYMI and listen to the show with zero ads.\\xa0Sign up\\xa0to become a Slate Plus member for just $1 for your first month.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
