Targeting Jews and Jewish anti-Zionists is explained by Miller’s Failure to Understand Why Imperialism Supports Zionism and Genocide in Gaza – As Such It is Anti-Semitic
The Virulent neo-Nazi Stew Peters Show & His $6 Million Reward for Proving the Holocaust Happened
I didn’t want to have to write this blog. There are far more important topics such as Genocide in Gaza. However Miller’s recent social media postings are becoming ever more bizarre and crossing the line into anti-Semitism. Miller has abandoned anti-Zionism.
His behaviour is not only strange it is also stupid. If 'antisemitism' is the ritual accusation of the Zionists why try to prove them correct by attacking Jews as Jews? It seems that Miller believes that it is Western Jews who are responsible for the hideous monstrosity that is the Israeli state. This is the Zionist narrative.
Jews in the West are the moral alibi for imperialism. Does anyone seriously think that Trump is seriously concerned about Jews or anti-Semitism? His ‘concern’ over the ‘plight’ of Jewish students is grotesque in the extreme given his own racism and hostility to Black Lives Matter and anti-racism, with his portrayal of migrants as rapists and criminals.
Trump has given overt support to the neo-Nazis of Charlottesville, describing them as ‘very fine people’ and to the Proud Boys and other White Supremacist militias. Miller understands none of this.
When Biden said that if Israel didn't exist it would have had to be created he was expressing the views of mainstream imperialist thought in the US. According to Reagan’s Secretary of State, Alexander Haig, Israel was the US’s unsinkable aircraft carrier and cheap at the price in an area of immense strategic and economic interest. Jews in the words of Barnaby Raine are merely the West's colonial pets. Ctd.... The last working-class hero in England.

Long read that will take some time to digest, partly due to TG's badly formatted page, but while I think TG over-reacts to some of it (as the first comment notes) there's a lot of "there" there with Miller's latest output and some of the places he's chosen to be platformed.
I won't be signing anything to try and get his job back next time.
Also, this is gift to the crew that were trying to get him sacked for speaking out against genocide as they can just point and go "See? It's always anti-semitism when we say it is."
ffs.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Something has definitely changed. As TG noted several times, his lack of precision with his language is pretty odd for an academic.
He's certainly sounding a bit dodgy now whatever the reason.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
Re: David Miller has gone from Asset to Liability for the Palestine Solidarity Movement
Looks like fair criticism from TG, and pretty eye-opening about Miller. The only part I thought over-egged was the criticism of Miller's use of the phrase 'Jewish supremacism':
'Miller talks about ‘the global struggle against Jewish supremacism’. In this phrase Miller conflates all Jewish people with the Israeli state like the Zionists. That Israel is a Jewish Supremacist state is a fact which Israel’s human rights group Bt’selem testifies to. Again it is difficult not to take this as a call to oppose Jews everywhere and to brand them all as Jewish Supremacists.'
I don't think Miller is conflating all Jewish ppl with Israel and 'supremacism' with this phrase. Seems like he's trying to score rhetorical points by using a phrase similar to 'white supremacism', and the criticism is of the supremacists, ie: Zionist supporters of Israel, not all Jews. However I'd agree it's clumsy and, along with the other statements quoted by Greenstein, is a gift to opponents seeking to throw the a/s libel.
I don't know wtf Miller was thinking going on a neo-nazi podcast / rumble show either. Tried to track down some clips, as the interview is for subscribers only: https://rumble.com/v5r2whh-based-uk-professor-exposes-covert-zionist-front-groups.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp but all I could ascertain is that he criticised Tommy Robinson for being pro-IDF, and this tweet saying he let the guy insinuate the nazi holocaust wasn't real without challenge: 'David Miller is spiralling further into the far-right. This week he appeared on a podcast of white nationalist Stew Peters and sat and nodded while the bloke called Gaza "a real Holocaust" (emphasis on real) and mentioned the 109 countries dogwhistle.' - https://xcancel.com/Oberubu/status/1850848891148677486#m
(Don't know what the dogwhistle refers to)
Miller's nitter only has a few mentions of Greenstein, maybe indicating no love lost. Here's one tweet where he responded to the criticism of citing a far right 'academic' paper and the idea that Jews are all hyper-intelligent:
Tony Greenstein affects to believe that I am a secret advocate of race science on the basis of a post (below) in which I cite advocates of superior Jewish “intelligence” as one view attempting to explain the existence of Jewish privilege.
Readers can see for themselves, but I was in no way endorsing the material in the screenshots I shared.
The screenshots of the two papers are both in a long line of literature which claims to explain social outcomes in terms of IQ or “intelligence”. But do these theories work to explain Jewish privilege?
Richard Lynn is a co-author of both. He is a long time advocate of racial science as are a number of Zionist advocates of these kind of arguments. These include Steven Pinker, the geneticist, Nicholas Wade, Charles Murray (of the Bell Curve), Jordan Peterson and the journalist Andrew Sullivan.
But are they right?
Short answer: No.
Here is the way in which Gavin Evans, who is, like me, an opponent of race science, sets out the arguments from back in 2018.
Evans goes on, in this long read in the Guardian, to neatly skewer the arguments from race science as follows:
In other words the alleged intelligence of the Jews is neither true nor, therefore, an explanatory factor in the fact of relative Jewish privilege.
So, can we please desist from making daft, nay embarrassing, claims like this?

There will perhaps be more to say about this shortly.

Would be interesting to hear him respond to Greenstein's article, but somehow I don't see him taking it on board and changing his approach. Doubling down seems more his style...
