Anti-Zionist views are ‘worthy of respect’, UK judge says
(Middle East Eye, 2024-10-15)[https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/anti-zionist-views-worthy-respect-uk-judge-finds]( ———
“An employment tribunal in the UK has concluded that holding the belief that Israel’s actions against Palestinians amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’.
“In February, a UK judge ruled in a landmark decision that David Miller, a professor of political sociology, who was fired from the University of Bristol in 2021 for anti-Zionist views, was unfairly dismissed and subjected to discrimination.
“This week, the tribunal published its 120-page judgement* which sets out why Miller’s views were protected under anti-discrimination laws. “
