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

    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

      Pro palestine and anti-zionism are different concepts

      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

      I’m Finnish, not American.
