An anti-Zionist professor fired by the University of Bristol over comments he made about Israel and Jewish student groups has said he plans to sue the institution.
David Miller referred to the university’s Jewish society as “political pawns [used] by a violent, racist foreign regime”, and claimed that Jewish students’ security concerns were “propaganda which they have been schooled with”. He has also accused Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer of taking “Zionist money” and said Israel “is trying to exert its will all over the world”.
Miller was sacked in October 2021 following an investigation that found his actions, while not unlawful, “did not meet the standards of behaviour expected” from university staff.
