There have been a few occasions where we’ve been incredulous following some court decisions regarding antisemitism and anti Zionist activism, so this time we’re delighted to read that Zara Saiyed lost her employment tribunal case.
*Heathrow Worker Loses Palestine Badge Tribunal:*
Heathrow security officer Zara Saiyed has lost an employment tribunal case after claiming she was discriminated against when a colleague challenged the Palestinian flag badge attached to her staff lanyard in November 2023, just weeks after October 7th.
Saiyed lodged a grievance and wrote: "Demanding the removal of the Palestinian flag from my lanyard is tantamount to finding my hijab offensive and insisting on its removal." She later brought claims of direct race discrimination, direct religious discrimination, harassment and victimisation against Heathrow Airport.
She accused Heathrow of being "complicit in the killing of Palestinian babies".
After hearing nearly two weeks of evidence and examining more than 1,600 pages of documents, the tribunal unanimously dismissed every claim. The judgment said: "We find that the claimant is a very capable, intelligent individual, but someone whose evidence was not always credible and reliable."
