A UK tribunal has ruled that a Bristol University academic was unfairly dismissed, with the decision suggesting that anti-Zionist views are worthy of respect and may be considered a protected characteristic. The academic had reportedly made comments about Zionist Jewish schools, but the tribunal's ruling indicates that their anti-Zionist beliefs were a factor in the unfair dismissal. The outcome of the case appears to establish that holding anti-Zionist views is a protected right in the UK.
