The UK Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) declared on 3 August that anti-Zionism qualifies as a “protected philosophical belief” under the Equality Act 2010, Professor David Miller announced via social media, marking a significant win for anti-genocide advocates.

“It is coherent to describe as ‘racist’ an ideology that promotes the establishment of a state for only one race of people in a territory that formerly contained a large number of people of a different race,” the court said in its ruling.

"Such an ideology, which supports the migration of members of the first group into the territory with the support of an imperial power to dislodge an indigenous population, could also coherently be described as colonial and imperialistic,” the ruling goes on to state.

    Finally! The work in the shadows to defend Zionists must be dragged into the daylight. Let those who defend it be called out and be made visible

        Yes that one. There were also black people in apartheid South Africa so I don’t think that’s quite the “gotcha” that you think it is.

        Also I notice how you omit the millions of Palestinians under brutal military occupation, being terrorised in the West Bank and ethnically cleansed and genocided in Gaza.

        Jimmy are you okay… Looking at your comments… Woof does your keyboard not have a shift nor cap lock keys? Also, Israel’s BB couldn’t come up with this pro zionest, pro racist, pro oligarchy, and pro hate messages. Go touch grass.

        Let’s drag it all out for transparency for all to see. You can personally ignore whatever you like. That’s how it works.
