Prof David Miller, who was sacked by Bristol University for being an anti-Zionist, and despite two barrister reports exonerating him of claims made by Zionist students, wins a landmark employment tribunal case.
The ruling of unfair dismissal means for the first time it's been recognised that anti-Zionism – the view that Israel is a racist, colonial state – is protected under the Equality Act.
His lawyer noted the importance of the timing of the ruling, as Israel seeks to shut down debate about its slaughter in Gaza:
"The genocide Israel is committing at present has woken the world up to the very belief David holds and was manifesting, which is that Zionism is inherently racist and must be opposed."
Prof Miller observed of the verdict: "A genocidal and maximalist ideology like Zionism can only be effectively confronted by a maximalist anti-Zionism. Apologies, debate, and defensiveness of the sort illustrated by many on the left, and even in the Palestine Solidarity movement, will not work. The Zionist movement cannot be negotiated with. It must be defeated."
Some empty ambulances got significantly more empathy and more vigorous responses from the political and media establishment than Black and brown people’s homes getting targeted and set on fire. Some with kids in. This is the hierarchy in action.
.@mehdirhasan: ".. we shouldnt pretend that impartiality means you must take a middle position between two sides. Take the genocide.. the number of times that Sky & the BBC have given Israel a pass or taken an Israeli denial as fact when we know its not"
Frost didn't like that
This is really a great example of how mainstream media produces Zionist propaganda to justify genocide and ethnic cleansing in south Lebanon.
No attempt to mention that that the word 'terrorist' is a made up word by 'israel' and the West. Most of the world consider Hezbollah fighters anti-colonial resistance (and the IOF as terrorists).
No attempt to say we can't verify the figures of 20 people, or what this so called 'terrorist infrastructure' is.
No attempt to say the facts, that 200 people have been killed in Lebanon in the last two weeks, and that includes scores of civilians, paramedics, and even Lebanese army officers. Additionally, hundreds of civilian homes have been destroyed, and a hospital was bombed.
Stop watching mainstream media. Dismantle it.
Make any houses get set on fire in Golders Green and you might see the first British air strike against its own citizens. They're using water guns and super soakers to combat racism in Belfast. 😭
Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and @Keir_Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting.
QWHITE revealing!
This is a straightforward conflation of Israel with Jewish people.
Israel is a foreign state committing genocide.
It is committing every war crime there is to commit.
Anger at that is both legitimate and, for the sake of lives, necessary.
Stop conflating with Jewish people.
This is a widely respected doctor held without charge since December 2024.
There is no civilized system of justice that allows for the imprisoning of people indefinitely without charge. He is a hostage, his crime was writing an oped for the New York Times.
