Jade Hurley's Instagram post aimed to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples Day became a flashpoint as it inadvertently prioritized Palestinian rights without context to recent violence, alienating staff.

As violence escalated in the Middle East, staff interpersonal relations at DCAF deteriorated due to differing views on how to approach sensitive political topics, especially relating to Palestine.
