Prof David Miller Professor David Miller, the noted anti-Zionist academic – whose landmark employment tribunal case, after he was dismissed by Bristol University despite its lawyers finding h…
[Miller] wrote, “Jews are not discriminated against,” “They are over-represented in Europe, North America and Latin America in positions of cultural, economic and political power,” “They are therefore in a position to discriminate against actually marginalised groups,” and, “Judeophobia barely exists.”
Such allegations lump together all Jews without any recognition of class or other differences. Miller targets Jews, not the actual ruling class, and plays on the idea of Jews as ultra-rich and manipulative.
Obviously, anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism, but that doesn’t mean anti-Zionists can’t be antisemitic, which Miller seems to be.
You asked for an alternative source from the pro-Israeli one, with the main thrust of the quoted parts being that he’s antisemitic, if I misunderstood what was being asked for then I apologise.
If he’s only been to funeral, he’s done nothing wrong.
He was detained under anti-terror laws for attending the funeral for the leader of a proscribed terror group and making several posts on social media in support of proscribed terror groups around the same time. I don’t think the decision to apply those anti-terror laws are as unreasonable as you’re making them out to be, even though they are fairly draconian in scope and I’d personally like to see them repealed.

I am baffled as to why you should join the argument at this point, and talk about who Miller is, or is not.
If he was carrying a placard saying “burn the Jews” he is being antisemitic and should be arrested .
If he’s only been to funeral, he’s done nothing wrong. .
While you and others here are so obviously comfortable with your enemies being persecuted, I am not, because there’s a word for that ideology.
