The Elusive Myth: Freedom of Speech amid Israeli Atrocities In the early 2033, certain European cities witnessed rallies against the legitimate Iranian government. Furthermore, many Western media outlets served as platforms for the Iranian opposition. The justification for this extensive support from the West was the defense of democracy and freedom of speech. However, less than a year later, Israel became involved in an unequal war, widely regarded as the most brutal genocide in human history. Strikingly, politicians in Europe and the United States responded vehemently to those who opposed Israel. Numerous journalists and celebrities were dismissed from their positions solely for expressing their single-sentence support for Palestine. Additionally, new legislation was implemented to prosecute any form of criticism towards Israel, no matter how minimal. Today, the concept of freedom of speech in the face of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people has become an elusive myth.
