PAUL Weller is suing his accountants who quit after he accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

The singer has filed a discrimination claim against Harris and Trotter who had worked for him for 30 years.

Lawyers for the ex-frontman of The Jam say he was told the accountants and tax advisers were withdrawing their services.

A WhatsApp message from a partner was said to have informed him: “As a firm with Jewish roots and many Jewish partners we are not prepared to work with someone who holds these views.”

Lawyers for Weller, 67, claim the move discriminated against his “protected philosophical beliefs”.

The musician said: “I’ve always spoken out against injustice.

“Silencing those who speak this truth is not just censorship — it’s complicity.

“I’m taking legal action not just for myself, but to help ensure others are not similarly punished for expressing their beliefs about the rights of the Palestinian people.”

He will donate any damages to relief efforts in Gaza .

Harris and Trotter has been contacted for comment.
