The university appealed and the case was heard at the EAT last November.
The 2024 tribunal ruled that his opposition to Zionism was a genuinely held philosophical belief protected under the Equality Act 2010, and that dismissal was a disproportionate response to expressing this belief.
“Dr Miller’s belief that Zionism is inherently racist has now been recognised by a binding appellate authority as a protected philosophical belief.
“I’m very pleased the EAT has dismissed the case put forward by the University of Bristol,” he stated.
“This judgment has now firmly established that anti-Zionist views are a protected belief under the terms of the Equality Act 2010.
