Arsenal FC is facing a lawsuit from former kitman Mark Bonnick, who claims he was unlawfully dismissed for his pro-Palestine social media posts against online pressure.
Bonnick alleges he was treated differently than other employees who expressed political views, insisting his dismissal came from expressing grief over genocide rather than misconduct.
He denies all allegations of antisemitism and believes his dismissal was a result of an unfair smear campaign targeted at his criticisms of Israel's military actions in Gaza.
The ongoing case raises important questions about freedom of expression, as Bonnick seeks reinstatement, damages, and the club's recognition of anti-Palestinian racism.
