I bet none of these "apolitical" organisations would act if someone displayed a Ukrainian flag and I bet none of them would claim it was potentially sensitive and offensive to Russians.
Supporting Ukraine = nonpolitical
Supporting Palestine = political
Mega double standards when it comes to the two conflicts.
(I am against the Russian invasion, just in case it seems otherwise)
Ukrainian flag - not political. Russian flag - political.
Israeli flag - not political. Palestinian flag - political.
I think that's the point of the lawsuit. You can't claim you're "completely apolitical and non-biased" when you actually support one side of a conflict and punish your employees who support the other side.
