This response from the C's isn't that drastic. And it seems to me that the reaction of the participants here was drastic. Surveillance has always been there, for years. Our data has long been stored on a large computer. That's one of the reasons computers were created, so that people could have their own personal computers. Now, without a mobile phone, we can't exist, that's true. We've also known for a long time that criticizing Israel can land us in prison; if I remember correctly, a law was passed in Canada to that effect. The C's words at this last session didn't instill fear in me. "Low profile" isn't drastic. It means be careful. And when they talk about what's coming, their words aren't so drastic. They use "a little shaky." The word "little" is important. Other times, the C's have used harsher, more sinister words.
I think we shouldn't panic. I also think, this is personal, speaking against Israel is useless. I'm not being cynical in saying this, but it's a fact. I felt a wave of panic here, at the forum, but maybe it's my imagination. In any case, it's important not to panic, and the C's didn't say words, in my opinion, to panic, but yes, be careful.
