Judgment Approved by the court for handing down. [2025] EWHC 1170 (Admin) AC-2024-LON-001310 HUSAIN v SRA 41. The Tribunal found Mr Husain to be “ardent and passionate in his beliefs” and knowledgeable about the history of the region. He had a hitherto unblemished record. However, as in Zaman Ali, the critical issue was the meaning of the words, not the subjective intention with which they were used. The Tribunal set out some examples of tweets by Mr Husain where he had expressed his view “bluntly and robustly yet without recourse to offensive language”. However, there were also examples where he had crossed the line from blunt commentary to “[t]weets which could be viewed as objectively antisemitic, albeit in some cases written in a way to obscure the true meaning which lay beneath, and others where offensive language was used, some with crude sexual references”. The Tribunal placed no weight on the contention Mr Husain’s mental health played a part in his tweets. There was no evidence on which it could do so as the report of Dr Zaman had been admitted for the sole purpose of deciding upon reasonable adjustments and mitigation: [27.37]. 42. The Tribunal then set out its own analysis of Mr Husain’s tweets, explaining which it had found individually to be antisemitic and why, by reference to the various definitions it had cited: (a) On 2 October 2020, Mr Husain tweeted: “How terrible 1300 Zionist criminals coming to steal the land of Palestine and turn the Palestinians into refugees by those East Europeans who kicked the Palestinians out of their homes and took up residence in them. PALESTINES, ETHNIC CLEANSING, that continues to this day. SHAME”. The Tribunal considered that this was an example of: “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination (e.g. by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour) AND Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” (b) On 3 May 2021, Mr Husain tweeted: “No Muslim should buy The Times, it is a bigoted pager with numerous Zionists working for it like David Aaronovich, Daniel Finkelstein etc. Earlier Cage was awarded damages against this Zionist mouthpiece”. The Tribunal saw this an example of: “Making mendacious, dehumanising, demonising, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions. Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.” (c) On 10 May 2021, Mr Husain tweeted: “1. A problem created by Britain - u don’t want Eastern Europeans here but exported a murderous bunch of Eastern European Zionists to Palestine and armed them. Yes u don’t want peace & not in ur blood Nick and Dominic. That is why u been arming Israel since 1968 2. Most Jews did not leave Palestine, they remained in Roman times & are there today Palestinians who converted to Islam. The Europeans have always believed in a mono- culture that is why E.Europeans Zionist believe in ethnic cleansing Palestinians and stealing their lands and homes”. The Tribunal saw this as an example of “A trope that Jews do not originate from Israel but instead from Eastern Europe. Reference to Ashkenazi Jews from central and Eastern Europe is also an attempt to delegitimise the existence of the state of Israel by asserting that
