Ronnie Fraser, a Zionist member of UCU (University and College Union),
with the support of leaders of the UK Jewish establishment attempted
to sue his Union for antisemitism.

In an unusually robust judgement the tribunal found the case “an
impermissible attempt to achieve a political end by litigious means”
and a case which showed a “worrying disregard for pluralism, tolerance
and freedom of expression”. The points made by leading lawyer
Anthony Julius were dismissed as “palpably groundless”,
“obviously hopeless” and “devoid of any merit”.

This is another example of the use of the courts in a lawfare campaign
to silence criticism of the policies of Israel and support for Palestinian
Rights.
