By Juliet Moses on Plain Sight…
I’ve been mulling over David Miller.
You may never have heard of him.
He was a Professor of Sociology at the University of Bristol who became embroiled in an antisemitism scandal. In 2021, two well-known Professors from New Zealand, Mohan Dutta (Dean’s Chair Professor of Communications at Massey University) and Richard Jackson (Leading Thinker Chair in Peace Studies at the National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Otago), defended him in an open letter signed by hundreds of other academics.
At the time, I was very disturbed to see those New Zealanders signing on to the letter, but that’s old news, and by itself wouldn’t cause me to write this article.
What has motivated me though is a series of tweets issued by Miller on 7 August as follows:
If you are not Jewish, do not be cowed by racial supremacists who want to hector you into political subservience. Judeophobia barely exists these days. Educate yourself about Zionism and the tactics used by its adherents.
-David Miller on Twitter
Zionist propagandists like Hen Mazzig rely on ‘standpoint theory’ to fool naïve liberals and leftists into buying their lies. They say only Jews can define Judeophobia, based on their ‘lived experience’. This is a denial of reality.
