Do you have company policy in place to support your conversation with them?
I suspect most companies have policies that dissuade conversations on non-work related topics (politics, religion, etc) that can very quickly devolve and have a negative impact overall (on morale, teamwork, trust, etc).
I would let them know that while they are of course welcome to have their opinions, the workplace is not the appropriate time or place to be sharing those opinions. That their doing so has had a negative effect on others in the workplace and if more concerns are raised you may have to take disciplinary action in line with company policy, etc.
Depending on where OP is based, these policies may have been strengthened around the Hillary-Bernie primary cycle in 2015-2016. This got ugly among many young agency employees in NYC and I recall some HR departments having to send out a memo conveying strengthened policies around non-work-related topics.
Thank you for asking this question and wanting to take a stand on this behavior! This is a difficult conversation that is uncomfortable and I commend you for being willing to do the work.
I definitely recommend going at it from an educational angle. Rather than trying to convince them that their opinion is incorrect, offer insight and resources into the history and current genocide happening in Palestine and why their intent may not be to erase the current feelings, their impact is erasure.
Ultimately the conversation should be centered around anti-violent conversations in the workplace, education and kindness rather than trying to change their mind.
It’s difficult to assume positive intent in situations like this. You got this and definitely reach out to management for support if you need it.
You’re right. Case in point^
I’d be interested to know their background and the context for their vocalizing support in the office.
See, I think I identified and explained the problem here quite deftly. My humor was deliberate to highlight the points I made in real-time. I am not understanding how it is you could think that this very concerning and problematic line of thought could be helpful to anyone involved, or what kind of desirable outcome you could see this leading to. The fact also is that it is highly likely that Jewish identity is a huge component at play- and how does that acknowledgment impact anything?
The issue at hand here is identifying and then addressing any action that is a specific violation to a potential formally established and previously agreed to terms for employment at the given place of work. The “why” isn’t relevant, and has no bearing on permissibility. It isn’t HR’s or the company’s place or right to pass judgement and make any assessment of personal motivations. Their responsibility is to ensure that official employment policies are applied evenly, fairly, and equally for all individuals, and actively adhered to by all employees.
Let your colleague know that the office isn't the appropriate forum for these discussions. Suggest alternative spaces for them to share their views like online forums or specific group discussions.
