by | October 28, 2024

For In These Times, Shane Burley spoke with nearly twenty workers fired or forced out of jobs for their support of a ceasefire or for holding anti-Zionist views since 10/7. 

In the investigative piece, Burley speaks to “scholars, communal leaders, organizers and takes a look at what this means for the future of American Jewish life.” 

Burley tells Study Hall, “This was a massive project done with In These Times (shout out to my editor Ari Bloomekatz, literally the best I’ve ever worked with).”

The piece discusses the dynamics of speaking out about Palestine and potential repercussions 

Burley has written for Jacobin, The Daily Beast, NBC News, and numerous other outlets.
