UK tribunal confirms professor’s anti-Zionism is legally protected belief

David Miller has told Al Jazeera the ruling is a victory that will encourage others to speak out against Zionism.

British professor David Miller was unlawfully fired by the University of Bristol because of his criticism of Zionism, an employment tribunal has ruled, confirming that anti-Zionism is a legally protected belief in the United Kingdom.

In its ruling published on Tuesday, the Employment Appeal Tribunal said Miller had been dismissed by the university in October 2021 because of comments in which he “expressed protected philosophical beliefs”.
