Asa Winstanley – Electronic Intifada Oct 1, 2021
The University of Bristol has fired Professor David Miller, a leading UK critic of Israel and its lobby.
After a years-long campaign of smears by that same lobby, the university said on Friday that, “Professor David Miller is no longer employed by the University of Bristol.”
The statement said only that Miller “did not meet the standards of behavior we expect from our staff,” though it did not elaborate.
Miller told The Electronic Intifada he would be appealing and “fighting it all the way.”
Yet the statement appeared to exonerate Miller from the Israel’s lobby’s deliberately false allegations of anti-Semitism.
An “independent report” by an unnamed lawyer had found that “Professor Miller’s comments did not constitute unlawful speech,” the statement acknowledged.
Miller said the report had actually gone further and that the lawyer’s report had “explicitly determined” his remarks “were not anti-Semitic.”
The Support David Miller Campaign, which has been rallying around the professor, responded that the university was sending a message that “it will protect racists, and [that] Muslims, Black students and Palestinians are not welcome at Bristol.”
In a statement sent to The Electronic Intifada, the campaign said that the university’s decision was “designed to send a chill down the spines of academics around the world who expose Zionist racism.”
The campaign said that Miller’s sacking had come after a “pressure campaign by Israel’s assets in the UK” and accused the university of collaborating with the Israel lobby.
For his part, Miller said that the decision to fire him was “taken under pressure from the Israel lobby” which he said “lobbies for a hostile foreign state. The university has embarrassed itself.”
Appeal
The university said in its statement that Miller “has a right of internal appeal which he may choose to exercise and nothing in this statement should be taken to prejudge that.”
The university “does not intend to make any further public comment at this time,” it said.
Bristol University further claimed that it was committed to an environment preserving “academic freedom.” But in what seemed a Freudian slip, it also said that “we take any risk to stifle that freedom seriously.”
An academic expert in propaganda and political pressure groups, Miller has been a key critic of the Israel lobby for the last decade, as well as of Zionism, the state’s racist official ideology.
At the start of 2021, pro-Israel lobby groups ramped up their campaign against him.
These included the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Zionist Federation, the Jewish Labour Movement and the Community Security Trust.
At the end of February, Israel itself also got involved, mobilizing one of its online troll armies to flood social media conversations with calls for Miller to be fired.
Act.IL – which is directed and funded by an Israeli ministry – issued a mission calling for attacks on an opinion piece published by Al Jazeera defending Miller.
With no evidence, the troll army’s operators smeared Miller as guilty of “blatant Jew-hatred” and called on their users to attack the Al Jazeera piece online.
Lobby campaign
A who’s who of right-wing figures, anti-Palestinian activists and Israel lobbyists made a massive effort to push for Miller to be fired, with even British politicians piling on.
Soon after, the university announced it had launched an “investigation” into Miller.
More than 300 academics and public intellectuals pushed back, signing an open letter to the university in support of Miller and his work.
Signatories included Noam Chomsky, Palestinian scholar and activist Sami al-Arian, dissident Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, filmmaker Ken Loach and comedian Alexi Sayle.
“We feel duty-bound to express our solidarity with Professor Miller and to oppose such efforts to crush academic freedom,” the letter stated.
It says that Miller is the target of “well-orchestrated efforts” to misrepresent his views “as evidence of anti-Semitism.”
In February, Miller wrote in a piece for The Electronic Intifada that “Britain is in the grip of an assault on its public sphere by the state of Israel and its advocates.”
“Meaningful conversations about anti-Black racism and Islamophobia have been drowned out by a concerted lobbying campaign targeting universities, political parties, the equalities regulator and public institutions all over the country.”
The enemies of Christ know their time is short. Sure we will suffer massive losses but they will suffer eternity in hell. Truth will out.
Universities are as bad as places like BBC television center, burn them down. lol
I am reminded of that TV comedy about the early woke BBC culture. Given that the BBC is so hated, one episode dropped in info about the buildings staggering security measures. Now, I’ve got no idea if this drop was accurate or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
It happens to everybody:
On 2nd October 2021 the Polish writer and journalist Rafal Ziemkiewicz — a well-known Polish thought criminal — was detained at Heathrow airport and refused entry into Britain.
“The reporter was arrested on Saturday at Heathrow airport. As reported by the portal dorzeczy.pl, British intelligence let Ziemkiewicz’s wife and daughter pass, but arrested him.”
“”Initially, it was said that it was only temporary that some things needed to be clarified. The husband was detained at Heathrow for three hours, after which he was taken to the “interrogation room”, fingerprinted, searched and photographed, and then, after another half hour, he was told he was under arrest. His personal effects, documents, medicines and telephone were taken. The accusation on which the husband was arrested was not given.” Aleksandra Ziemkiewicz, the journalist’s wife, reported in an interview with the portal niezalezna.pl.””
“The website dorzeczy.pl has published a document issued by the British Bureau for Foreigners, which states that Ziemkiewicz was detained for his “proclaimed political views”.”
“”You have asked for permission to enter the UK as a guest for two days. However, I believe your exclusion from the UK is in the public interest. This is due to your behavior and views contrary to British values and could be offensive to others.” reads an official document of the British services.””
“”I was arrested for opinions that apparently do not respect the values ‘recognized in Great Britain’,” Rafal Ziemkiewicz told the Polish News Agency. When he inquired about these views, he heard from the officer conducting his case that he did not know anything about them, but they were certainly inappropriate.”
“In his opinion, this arrest is a consequence of a case a few years ago, when Rafa Pankowski, co-founder of the ‘Never Again’ association, prepared a report in which he included a list of Polish anti-Semites.”
“In 2018 there was also an incident involving Rafal Ziemkiewicz: he allegedly had three meetings with authors in Great Britain, which would take place in Bristol, Cambridge and near London, in Ealing. The latter was cancelled following the intervention of Labor MP Rupa Huq, who accused the Polish journalist of spreading hate speech, anti-Semitism and a desire to combat the Islamic State. Huq reported the matter to the Interior Ministry and the conference was cancelled. The politician also asked the Home Office to ban Ziemkiewicz from entering Britain. As she told the Guardian at the time: “Ziemkiewicz’s presence does not promote good race relations anywhere in Britain.””
It is ridiculous to make it about “racism”, a Communist word. You need to pick a side sooner or later, and this will need to be your own Race, not Palestinians, Blacks, Moslems, Jews, and all the invaders in general. If you say “Racism” you have blurred out all the hominids into non-entities, leaving you, the judge of people, as an unknown quantity.
Jews and Israelis are taking their medicine like never before.
And what’s their medicine?
It’s the stuff Goyim have prescribed for them.
Notice at the end of the article that Miller is upset about this ‘Israeli lobbying campaign’, because its preventing him from addressing ‘anti-black racism’ & ‘Islamophobia’…So it appears this Miller is some sort of liberal Christian anti-white degenerate anyway, or a Jew himself…His countenance sort of looks Jewy.
Lewis Jones: Jews are NOT a race.
all university-hospital-media-police
bosses + judges are freemason mafia
and serve the jew mafia !
Creeps like Jewis Jones are the biggest problem to humanity in general, to the white race in particular. The World MUST Unite to fight the behemoth. Go read some Kabbala and Gematria. Aleister Crowley, cockroach 666.0 might visit you tonight. All orifices are of mating potential, it once said.
University politics just go to show the higher-educated can have qualifications up the wazoo yet still talk out of it.
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
To Carl Jones–Jews preside over this politics where people of all Races are allowed racial self-respect except Whites, which puts us in dire need of it ourselves. I said Jews were invaders, like other Races, not quite that Jews are one.
The enemies of Christ know their time is short. Sure we will suffer massive losses but they will suffer eternity in hell. Truth will out.
For too long the Church has been destroying itself by refusing messages from heaven and not helping those who call heaven for help. God has been silent too long, he proves that he is weak because he allows evil to act. I don’t understand his will, nor his love, nor the fact that he lets evil spread. Yet he created SATAN and did not destroy him when he revolted, reducing him to ashes. I do not have more confidence in Jesus who supposedly is stronger than the Devil. It could just take one word and one gesture and the world would be saved! I had dreams, hopes, projects, but now I only have one desire when comes the end of the day: to close my eyes definitively!
Where is this God? is he deaf? is he blind? Does he care about people who are suffering?….
You ask God for Health, he gives you sickness, suffering and death.
You ask for a job you have unemployment and suicide
You ask for children you have infertility.
You ask for holy priests, you have freemasons.
You ask for joy and happiness, you have pain, sorrow, persecution, misfortune.
You ask for Heaven you have Hell.
He has always had his preferences — like Abel to Cain, Isaac to Ishmael, Jacob to Esau, the wicked to the righteous. It’s sad, but we have to face the facts SATAN IS STRONGER THAN ALL THE SAINTS AND ANGELS COMBINED! So if God exists, let him prove it to me, I am looking forward to converse with him if that can convert me. I didn’t ask to be born.
I post this as I found this thought somewhere, (forget where really). I do think tho as I have often wondered such thoughts oer many a long year.
Just why was I born? Within generational so-called curse as we are all said to be born of “sin”. Just what is this sin as some goddy of our skies watch like said grandfather watching unruly grandchild.
Grandfather methinks is somewhat remiss as He alloy errant child way too much space.
Where are you Grandfather? Do You not love me no mo?
@carl jones hertl considered the jews where a race, Begin considered them to be a race as did the jews lenin and trotski. nutyahoo considers the jews to be a race, kehane and countless other rabbis profess the jews to be a race; what do you know that they don’t?
hertl should of course be hertzl.
And then I betought…
Let no man of our world try to bethink the mind of God.
Is it lunch time there God. Are you out having a smoke?
As my old ma were wont to suppose of old goddy having many mansion to let out…
Just show me to me room grandfather…
Lewis Jones: Jews are NOT a race.
“They” were never a race as in French, German or any other ethnic. “They” are a word of magic denglish spake who are now Jewish, Jew. Both words of magic of bastard denglish tongue as “they” have owned bastard denglish tongue as “they” bought Cromwell stupid who once died was recovered and hung on four corner of old London Town.
Stupid fuking English as you traverse our world for “them”.
Just look about you stupid Englander and pray tell us of old Cockney London rhyme.
No ill will I assure you Mr Englander but look aboot ye as crow hae come hame ta roost…
@ Adrian .. Quote: a list of Polish anti-Semites.”
As far as my knowledge of Polish people is, I assume that this list will be very, very, long …
