Dr David Miller: toxic Kamala Harris pushed pro-Palestine voters out of Democratic party, for Israel

Dr David Miller, Sociologist and Pro Palestinian campaigner, joins Tony and Martin. David is famous for being sacked from Bristol University for alleged anti Semitic views, but won his court case. Journalists arrested for Pro Palestinian views. Socialism. Jeremy Corbyn. Why did Kamala Harris lose? Watch David Miller talk about his anti-Zionist legal victory On last week’s livestream, The Electronic Intifada spoke to David Miller, the academic and writer that the Israel lobby in Britain has been pursuing for years. After a long smear campaign by that same lobby, in 2021 Miller was fired from his job as professor of sociology by the University of Bristol. But earlier this month Miller succeeded in bringing a case against his former employer for wrongful dismissal. On 5 February, a UK employment tribunal ruled that Miller had been unlawfully sacked, and ordered Bristol university to pay substantial damages. Crucially, the tribunal ruled that Miller’s philosophical beliefs as an anti-Zionist had been violated. “This is a landmark case and marks a pivotal moment in the history of our country for those who believe in upholding the rights of Palestinians,” said Miller’s lawyer Zillur Rahman. “The timing of this judgment will be welcomed by many who at present are facing persecution in their workplaces for speaking out against the crimes of the Israeli state.” Miller talked on the livestream about the significance of the ruling. He said that “it’s clear that anti-Zionism is [now] a protected belief and is separate from anti-Semitism … this is a victory for all of us.” He also said that the ruling would have longer term consequences for Israel’s bogus definition of anti-Semitism, the so-called International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition, which could now start to be rolled back: “I’m very optimistic that this is the beginning of the end of the IHRA.” My colleague Ali Abunimah described the ruling as “a very significant turning point for free speech and academic freedom and a real blow against the thuggery of the Israel lobby.” Abunimah asked Miller for his advice to other academics, writers and activists who are being attacked by the Israel lobby in a similar fashion. “The key thing is to adopt a strategy of attack,” Miller replied. “Of not apologizing.” This contrasts with the approach of many in the UK Labour Party during the Jeremy Corbyn leadership, which Miller argued was simply to apologize and placate. “That’s a losing strategy … my strategy was to say: We do not compromise with the Zionists because we cannot. This is a racist ideology and it simply has to be defeated.”

Anti Semitic attack against Israeli footballers in Amsterdam - Pro Palestinian campaigners had been targeted first. Mossad involved in international politics. Solution to the Israel/Palestine problem? Western media frames Israeli thugs as victims of antisemitism Football mobs beating locals and mocking murdered Palestinian children were the victims, if you were to believe the so-called ‘mainstream’ media Sky News and other UK media have covered this week for Israeli football thugs who attacked residents in Amsterdam, called for the death of Arabs and damaged properties that displayed Palestinian flags, by describing locals who confronted the mob as ‘antisemites’ and framing pro-Israeli violence as ‘antisemitic’ attacks. As video evidence shows, Maccabi Tel AvivAs hooligans provoked pro-Palestinians with chants of “Let the IDF f*ck the Arabs” and mockery of Israel’s tens of thousands of child victims in Gaza, as well as of the victims of the recent horrific flooding in Valencia. There were also reports of attacks by Israeli fans on Arab taxi drivers and others: UK and other western media rushed to cast the violence as perpetrated on the Israeli ‘fans’ rather than by them: And pro-Israeli propaganda accounts were quick to try to whip up condemnation of the actual victims – and were put right by those who made the videos, who pointed out what they were actually showing: As photographer Annet de Graaf had pointed out, the video actually showed a Dutch man being pursued and attacked by Israeli thugs: Some media outlets still misrepresented the footage as showing the opposite of what it really did. Not content with covering up or misreporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its endless war crimes there and in Lebanon, western media – like many western politicians including Keir Starmer – are also covering for the crimes of Zionist fanatics in Europe and the US....
