My Journey at LinkedIn: Censorship, Silence, and the Cost of Speaking Up for Israel

In this photo illustration a LinkedIn logo is seen displayed on a smartphone screen with a computer keyboard in the background in Athens, Greece on January 10, 2022. Photo: by Nikolas Kokovlis/NurPhoto/Reuters Since 2012, I have been an active member of LinkedIn. Like many professionals around the world, I saw it as a place to connect, grow, and engage with a global network. For years, that vision held true. LinkedIn was a space for ideas, innovation, and respectful dialogue. But everything changed after the 2014 Gaza War. The platform slowly transformed. Political discourse became more prevalent — and with it, a rising tide of anti-Israel rhetoric and antisemitism. The successful spread of Pallywood-style propaganda seeped into what was once a neutral professional environment. I began to see not just criticism of Israeli policy, but open hatred of Jews, Israelis, and Zionists. As the founder of the NGO Time To Stand Up For Israel, I took to LinkedIn with purpose. For years, I posted three times a day — informing, educating, and reporting, often in a journalistic tone. My goal was simple: to share facts, tell stories, and create awareness. And for a while, it worked. Until it didn’t. Without warning, my

I Discovered A Colleague Lied On Her LinkedIn — Should I Out Her? | HuffPost Life

I was recently perusing LinkedIn when I noticed a post written by a former workmate. She wrote a long-winded essay thanking the people who have always been supportive members of the media community ― and hoping that she has always been “one of these people.” I gasped. This woman ruined my life ― at least my early career life. She was the reason I collected unemployment in my mid-20s. Because of her actions, I was laid off as an editor and couldn’t afford to move out of my parents’ apartment. I had to take on any freelance assignment that came my way, even a gig with Soap Opera Hairstyles magazine writing about how Susan Lucci got her voluminous waves. My entire personal and professional life was sent spiraling because this individual felt threatened by me. Even worse than including herself today in a group of “people who crusade for others” is the fact that numerous comments on her post were filled with heart emojis, cheers and platitudes. Had she simply forgotten how she marched into our boss’s office 30 years ago and announced that axing me might be a great way to trim the budget? I still wince at the

I was born and raised here in Flagstaff, and my family is third-generation here in the city. My upbringing was full of happiness and family surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents who all taught us our cultural traditions and roots from our heritage. When did you first decide to become a teacher? I was working at Kinsey Elementary school as an NAU tutor, and I was so inspired by the teachers there who worked so magically with their students. I remember saying

Andrew Miller Turns Random Sunday Thoughts into LinkedIn Newsletter

Andrew Miller has been sharing a regular post on LinkedIn each week called Random Sunday Thoughts. In each Sunday morning edition, Andrew has shared a mix of insights and news. There is a heavy focus on the domain industry and his Hilco Digital Assets business in particular. Typically, I would see Andrew share a link on X to his LinkedIn post, but I likely missed a few when I wasn’t online Sunday mornings. Recently, Andrew converted Random Sunday Thoughts into a (free) LinkedIn newsletter subscription, making it easier to access the series. It also appears that he shares even more insights within the subscription posts. Andrew shared his third subscription post this morning. I don’t have many LinkedIn subscriptions, but I just subscribed to Andrew’s RSL series because I appreciate reading his domain industry insights. Now, it’s easier to read them when I can.

Michael Yan, a Gen Z computer science student at Stanford University, secured internships at Microsoft and Meta by using a clever strategy on LinkedIn. Yan shared his strategy in a recent Business Insider interview, where he revealed how applying early gave him an edge. He modified LinkedIn’s URL to filter job postings from the last hour instead of the last day, which placed Yan’s application among the first received, which boosted his chances significantly.  What is Yan’s strategy to be the first one to apply for jobs?Yan’s strategy showed the maximised use of LinkedIn’s sorting feature, changing the URL’s time parameter from 86,400 seconds (24 hours) to 3,600 seconds (1 hour).
