Give Professor David Miller his job back
The University of Bristol has sacked the pro-Palestine Professor David Miller following a sustained campaign from pro-Israel groups.
Miller is an academic expert in propaganda and political pressure groups and has been a key critic of the Israel lobby for the last decade, as well as of Zionism.
Those putting pressure on the university to sack him included the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Zionist Federation, the Jewish Labour Movement and the Community Security Trust.
The campaign against Professor Miller is specifically designed to conflate criticism of Zionism with hatred of Jews. It is also designed to shut down teaching about Islamophobia and the harms posed by Zionism. Professor Miller is a test case – Israel’s lobby in Britain wants to use the widely criticised IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism to ban all criticism of the State of Israel, its policies and its ideology. It’s essential that we prevent this.
