is there a job I can apply for, so I can get fired for being Anti-Criminal ?

maybe if I got a job at McDonald's and wore a Keffiyeh and shirt that says "Free Palestine", one of the Rednecks in the drive-thru would report me.

But I want a CERTIFICATE or something.

Arsenal Football Club is facing legal action after sacking long-serving kit-man Mark Bonnick after he expressed solidarity with Palestine on social media.

With assistance from the European Legal Support Centre (ELSC), 61-year-old Bonnick has filed a legal claim for unfair dismissal. A lifelong Arsenal supporter, he had officially worked at the club for 12 years, and an additional 10 years as a contractor, amounting to 22 years of service, before being abruptly sacked on Christmas Eve 2024.

His dismissal followed a coordinated online smear campaign by pro-Israel Twitter accounts that accused him of antisemitism for posts opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza. Mark's dismissal is part of a wider crackdown on lawful political expression and a disturbing pattern of political purges in the workplace.

Western mainstream media unanimously described the investigation into his social media posts as driven by fears of antisemitism. However, following an internal investigation, Arsenal admitted, in the outcome of appeal document, seen exclusively by Mondoweiss, that the club "has never said that your posts were antisemitic" and that it was not something they were asked to reach a view on.

But they doubled down on the claim that the posts brought the club "into disrepute."

He was therefore suspended with the official letter noting that the club "understand individuals will have differing views on topics such as this" but the posts have been "associated with the Club in a very public and damaging way, for the disrepute that this has caused."

The tweets in question included Mr. Bonnick using terms such as "Jewish supremacy" and "ethnic cleansing" during an online discussion about Israel's brutality in Gaza. In a disciplinary meeting, club officials alleged that these posts "could be perceived as inflammatory or offensive."

However, the language Bonnick used mirrors terminology widely adopted by the global human rights community in reference to Israeli policies. In 2021, the prominent Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem concluded in a landmark report that Israel operates an apartheid regime designed to maintain a system of Jewish supremacy over Palestinians.

In November 2024, Human Rights Watch established that Israel's policy of deliberate and systematic displacement of Palestinians in Gaza amounts to ethnic cleansing.

Separate posts by Mr Bonnick repeatedly made the point that Israel frequently rejected the opportunity to return all the hostages, including a reply in one specific post, saying "Because you didn't scream when Zionist Israel refused their release Hamas refused to release all hostages in October... you abandoned them ... Refused to bring them home..."

As reported in November 2023, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected opportunities to secure the release of hostages. More recently, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated bluntly that hostages are "not the most important thing" for the government.

Bonnick's legal team argues that his firing was politically motivated, setting a dangerous precedent of censorship and punishment for those who express solidarity with Palestinians.

Importantly, this is not the first time that Arsenal has been under the spotlight, particularly regarding Palestine and Israel. The club came under pressure in March 2024 when there was a rally in support of Palestine outside its stadium, which was followed by claims of Jewish fans feeling unsafe.

There also appears to be a selective approach to policing and disciplining individuals associated with the club, particularly concerning their social media activity, with punitive measures seemingly applied only to one side.

For instance, Arsenal's Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko publicly expressed unequivocal support for Israel on October 8, 2023, posting an image with the words "I stand with Israel" emblazoned on a Star of David. Although the post was later deleted, the club took no disciplinary action against him.

Likewise, when the club issued an official statement on October 13, 2023—at a time when Israel had begun its intense bombardment of Gaza, accompanied by openly genocidal rhetoric from Israeli officials—fans, particularly in the Middle East, noted the stark difference in the tone and emotional language used.

The statement referred to Hamas's incursion on October 7 as an "attack" whilst describing Israel's brutal retaliation in Gaza as an "unfolding human tragedy."

While the UK continues to arm Israel and FIFA refuses to ban it—despite global calls from football fans—workers like Bonnick are punished for speaking out against Israel's systematic mass slaughter. Human Rights Watch recently concluded that Israel's actions include countless acts amounting to war crimes, crimes against humanity, including extermination, and genocide. Meanwhile, at least 350 Palestinian footballers in Gaza have been killed by Israel, stadiums are routinely destroyed, and entire teams are wiped out in Gaza. Yet major English clubs like Arsenal are punishing staff for having the temerity to speak out.

This is part of a growing and disturbing pattern across European football: from Anwar El Ghazi in Germany to Salma Mashhour at Dagenham & Redbridge. Palestinian solidarity appears to be a red line that football clubs are actively suppressing, rather than defending basic freedoms.

Gary Lineker fired for unacceptable behaviour such as objecting to genocide
He deserves prison for this...
https://www.normalisland.co.uk/p/gary-lineker-fired-for-unacceptable

Gary Lineker has been fired by the BBC after a pattern of unacceptable behaviour which involved objecting to war crimes and genocide.

At a time when hospitals are being blown to pieces and children are being starved to death, Lineker has taken the racist position that these things are wrong, even when Israel does them. He has therefore been relieved of his duties, just like everyone who criticises Israel.

Lineker was only fired because he works for the state broadcaster where everyone must be politically neutral. Obviously, no one gets fired for criticising Israel at other broadcasters, apart from every single critic of Israel every single time.

Everyone knows you are not allowed to criticise Israel anywhere in the west, but Lineker arrogantly thought he could buck this trend, just because it was the right thing to do. As one of the nicest human beings among us, Lineker clearly had no future at the BBC. Nice people are frankly unacceptable. They make me want to vomit.

The BBC is a politically-neutral organisation which means you are not allowed to be a nice person with a conscience. You can express the most unhinged right-wing views imaginable (just ask David Starkey), but if you say something controversial like "Israel should stop vaporising tents", you have to go. Israel can vaporise whichever fucking tents it wants, including yours.

The BBC has reassured concerned Zionist staff that they are free to express their pro-genocide beliefs because "pro-genocide" is a protected characteristic. You can rest assured that no one will ever be fired for supporting Israel.

The BBC is so impartial it hires a guy whose pro-IDF book was promoted by none other than Benjamin Netanyahu. Raffi Berg was delighted to brag about this on social media, but he never got fired because that sort of thing is fine.

Raffi's job is to filter the BBC's news output so it never gets too honest about Israel. If ever you see something on the BBC that casts Israel in a negative light, just know the truth was one thousand times worse. Raffi watered down the truth for you in the name of anti-racism.

You might think Raffi's job sounds a bit political, but please remember, he only works in the news. Lineker, on the other hand, worked as a sports pundit and expressed his views in a personal capacity which is much more concerning.

BBC sports presenters should not be allowed to express personal views anywhere, unless they're supportive of Israel, or critical of one of the bad countries like Russia. Let's be honest, if Lineker was criticising Russia, he would have been given a pay rise.

Just know that while Israel is committing one of the worst crimes in history, there are two acceptable courses of action: one is to fall silent and the other is to support it. What you are not supposed to do is use your platform to be on the right side of history. Anyone who does that will not be remembered fondly.

Let the history books show that when the holocaust of our time was taking place, Gary Lineker was willing to sacrifice his job in an attempt to stop it, and for that he must never be forgiven x
