ER Editor: We’re living through deeply historic times. And this legal case from the UK is another indicator of that.
Find more reports about Professor David Miller on Electronicintifada.net. He’s a researcher into many topics, but especially those of propaganda, lobbying, Islamophobia and Zionism.
Readers might be interested in this MintPress News podcast from the end of last month. He explains how he literally bumped into Zionist attacks on him by researching into Neoconservatism / Islamophobism originally. The power of the Israel Lobby through Zionist-funded foundations, such as the Henry Jackson Society, thus came into the light for him as a result. Douglas Murray gets a (dishonorable) mention. Islamophobia is revealed as an industry which cultivates certain stereotypes about Muslims, such as ‘extremism’, etc. Miller explains how government forces started to attack him when he was originally found not guilty of saying or writing anything anti-semitic by his university. Now, he will be taking his university to an employment tribunal later this year to determine if he was wrongly sacked. Note his comments about how the intelligence services furnish the media with their narratives, that the MSM are me lackeys —
THE ISRAEL LOBBY GOT ME FIRED! – LOWKEY SPEAKS TO DAVID MILLER
For nearly a decade, Professor David Miller has been in the crosshairs of the pro-Israel lobby. But in recent years, their campaign against him has intensified. Miller was fired by Bristol University in the U.K. following a ferocious campaign by the Israel lobby, which even led to direct government intervention in the case. He has been holding the university to account in an employment tribunal and expects the results very soon. In this episode of “The Watchdog,” host Lowkey catches up with Miller to hear the latest on his case.

A sociology professor sacked by the University of Bristol over his anti-Zionist comments has won a landmark decision by an employment tribunal, which decided that he was discriminated against because of his beliefs.

Rahman Lowe Solicitors, who represented Miller at court, called the judgement a significant triumph, establishing that anti-Zionist beliefs are legally protected in the workplace.
“Professor Miller successfully claimed discrimination based on his philosophical belief that Zionism is inherently racist, imperialist, and colonial, [which is] a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, alongside a finding of unfair dismissal,” a statement issued by the solicitors said.
“This judgement establishes for the first time ever that anti-Zionist beliefs are protected in the workplace,” they added.

“I am extremely pleased that the tribunal has concluded that I was unfairly and wrongfully dismissed by the University of Bristol. I am also very proud that we have managed to establish that anti-Zionist views qualify as a protected belief under the UK Equality Act,” Miller said.
Professor Miller was fired by the University of Bristol in October 2021 after he made statements about the role of the Zionist movement in promoting Islamophobia.
Following his dismissal, Miller asserted that he was subject to an organized campaign by groups and individuals opposed to his anti-Zionist views, which was aimed at getting him sacked.
He took the University of Bristol to the employment tribunal on the basis of unlawful discrimination for his beliefs in breach of the Equality Act 2010.
In a post on X social media platform after winning the case, Miller said, “This is not just a victory for me, but also a victory for pro-Palestine campaigners across Britain.”
“Over many years, anti-Zionists have faced harassment and censorship in Britain due to the efforts of the Israel lobby. Many people have faced disciplinary procedures and lost their jobs for manifesting their anti-Zionist beliefs,” he added.

Miller expressed hope that “this case will become a touchstone precedent in all the future battles that we face with the racist and genocidal ideology of Zionism and the movement to which it is attached.”
“This verdict is also a vindication of the approach I have taken throughout this period, which is to say that a genocidal and maximalist Zionism can only be effectively confronted by a maximalist anti-Zionism,” he noted.
