Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing to file a public law appeal against the dismissal of his discrimination complaint.
Extracted holding
No. As the injured person was not directly and seriously affected in a protected personal interest, he had no standing under Art. 88 OJ.
Extracted reasoning
A victim status under the LAVI requires direct and sufficiently serious harm. The challenged remarks criticized the policy of Israel and were not directed against the appellant personally; objectively they were not likely to cause significant psychological harm.
