The University of Bristol pursued a disastrous legal strategy against me and destroyed their own legal case.
British universities have become a cesspool of discrimination against anyone who advocates for the rights of Palestinians.
But even more dramatic damage was done to the Bristol case by the overall legal strategy adopted by Bristol and by the incredible evidence of the most senior witness to give evidence on behalf of the university. It was she who decisively sunk Bristol beneath the waves. Let me explain. This was a reckless strategy because it claimed that my anti-racist ideas were “akin to Nazism”, which is the legal test for ideas not worthy of respect. This was always going to be a misguided approach, but in practice it was turned into a weapon by my legal team enabling them to force the most senior witness into apparently contradictory testimony.
This view was reinforced for me by the apparent difference in treatment for a Professor from the Law department. Professor Greer was accused by the Islamic Society of Islamophobia around the same time as the allegations against me. He then denounced the Islamic society in much more explicit terms than I had discussed the Zionist student group. Bristol did not give him any warning and certainly did not fire him, and indication, so my lawyers argued in court, that we had been treated differently.
