Anti-zionist does not equal anti-semitic. Just as being anti-nazi does not mean you are anti-white.

It is amazing how many people understand the second one but not the first one.

The venn Diagram does have overlaps for these groups and unfortunately the loudest most insufferable variants are the ones you hear about the most, the ones that give every side a bad taste in Their mouths.

But good news for everyone, and this guy in particular that there still is a space for his freedom of expression. A well thought out position that holds up to scrutiny should not lead to retaliation from the employer. Every well thought out position is a trade off between priorities and a difference in where priorities are placed.

Descendant of a jewish holocaust survivor here. I am extremely anti zionist and will never support the colonial project that is Israel. I also have a big book collection on the holocaust, the jewish faith, and antisemitism. Both can be true at the same time.

Could you fucking stop spamming this garbage propaganda?

Everyone except the filthy Zionists knew that Pro-Palestinian rhetoric is covered by the freedom of speech.

Essentially this article is Zionists complaining that “we have to respect other people? But mooom I don’t want to”

Fuck off and breathe in a a cactus

It is also worded in such a way as to compare it to the Forstater judgement because Kath Viner has to work in transphobia to every part of the Guardian

  1. Pro palestine and anti-zionism are different concepts

  2. This is the UK where we don’t have a fetishised version of free speech

My point exactly. This was Pro-Palestinian rhetoric, which is now being painted as Anti-Zionist rhetoric, for obvious reasons.

From the article:

An employment tribunal in the UK has concluded that holding the belief that Israel’s actions against Palestinians amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are “worthy of respect in a democratic society”.

That’s Pro-Palestinian beliefs.

This is the UK where we don’t have a fetishised version of free speech
