Maybe because I am old enough to have attended school when what happened in Germany during the rise of fascism was still a open topic of discussion. The questions often raised were how did this happen and the complicity and acquiesce of the German people. An excellent film that parallels this issue is The Nasty Girl, based on a true story about a German student who asks too many questions about her town's past during the war. We are close to a point now where even to say the word "Palestine" can have major complications with our increasingly authoritarian society.

As then, so now, it was no doubt conveyed to Francine that if _she_ wouldn't do it, then they would find someone else who _would_. Fortunately, she likely utterly separates her business persona from her human wrapper, and embodies double-think in true 1984 fashion.

Yes, one can be arrested just mentioning the word ‘Palestine’ and not only in America. Zionists pay off everybody.
