Anti-Zionist beliefs ‘worthy of respect’, UK tribunal finds

Judges say unfairly dismissed academic David Miller's views on Israel should be protected by antidiscrimination laws

The belief that Israel's actions amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are worthy of respect in a democratic society", an employment tribunal has concluded in a landmark decision.

In February the tribunal ruled that Prof David Miller was unfairly discriminated against when he was dismissed by the University of Bristol over allegations of making antisemitic remarks, in a decision the Union of Jewish Students said set a dangerous precedent.
