“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?
