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. “

Oh criticism of a genocide is protected speech?

Wow, much shocking.

This title feels very biased. "Anti-Zionist"? "Pro-Palestinian" more like. But ofc if the title was "Pro-Palestinian views are 'worthy of respect'", the bias would be a bit clearer, eh?
