Miller Has Abandoned Anti-Zionism in Favour of Conspiracy Theories About Jewish Infiltrators
Introduction
David Miller has nearly 100k followers on X.
To many he is a hero because of his battle against dismissal from Bristol
University and his subsequent victory at an Employment
Tribunal. However there is another side to Miller.
Miller has begun propagating conspiracy theories about
Zionism taking over the world and engaging in ‘state capture’. No longer is
Zionism the adopted policy of western states, which support Israel because, in
the words of Reagan’s Secretary of State Alexander Haig, it is an ‘unsinkable
aircraft’ situated in a strategically important, energy rich region.
Zionism is instead a monster that is engaged
in a project involving the take-over and control of the world powers, including
its former imperialist sponsors. Indeed it is on its way to having gained
control of all of them.
Not surprisingly it is attracting support from
fascists, racists, anti-Semites, conspiracy theorists and other assorted
fruitcakes and loony tunes. Zionism according to Miller
is really no different from the Elders in the Protocols
of the Learned Elders of Zion who planned and plotted to take over the
world and subvert the existing order. Miller is one in a long line of cranks.
Why is this important? Because it is already poisoning
the Palestinian narrative. No longer is Israel the attack dog of the United
States, no longer is it performing important tasks for imperialism, the ‘dirty
work’ as Chancellor Merz described Israel’s attack on Iran. Israel is
now the major imperialist power and Britain and the United States are its
colonies.
Fortunately Miller’s fantasies are fringe
rhetoric but that doesn’t mean they cannot do damage. Miller believes the
Western states have been captured and need to be ‘freed’. Instead of being
institutionally racist and imperialist they are essentially good institutions
concerned with their people.
The Zionists have taken the British and
American states over for their own evil purposes and subverted them. Solidarity work is all but useless. What we
need is to root out the Zionist infiltrators who for all practical purposes are
Jewish.
I don’t think I need to point out where this
is going but it is a dark place which explains nothing and in the end leaves us
defenceless against attacks from our own states. Islamophobia is a Zionist import.
Fascists like Tommy Robinson and Geert Wilders are not homegrown, a product of British
and Dutch society. They are Zionist creations.
At worst it aligns us with racists and
fascists and those, like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Green, who believe US
imperialism is a good thing but Israel has led it astray and is costing us too
much.
It also leads us into a false battle, not
against Zionism and the Israeli state but against ‘Jewish Supremacy’. In so doing it plays completely into Zionist hands,
legitimises their accusations of ‘anti-Semitism’ and allows the British and
American states reasons for repressing the Palestine solidarity movement. In
short David Miller and his theories pose a danger to the solidarity movement.
Dismissal
from Bristol University
David Miller was Professor of
Sociology at Bristol University when he was dismissed in October 2021
after allegations of ‘anti-Semitism’ by Zionist students, one of whom, Sabrina
Miller, infiltrated one of his
lectures.
Other partners in
crime included the President of the Bristol Jewish Society Nina Freedman, and her successor Edward Isaacs, both of whom became President
of the Israeli Embassy funded Union of Jewish
Students. In 2021 Isaacs threatened to sue me
for calling him a liar. When I repeated my
accusation he thought twice about it. I never heard
from him again.
The whole Miller affair was co-ordinated by
Zionist lobby groups such as the Community
Security Trust and UJS.
Miller’s expertise
was in corporate and political power networks, including the Zionist lobby. The
Zionists took particular exception to his suggestion that Zionism was one of
the five pillars of Islamophobia.
When Miller was
being attacked by Zionists I supported him. The decision to sack him was an
outrageous attack on free speech on Palestine by an institution that had been
cowed and intimidated by a false ‘anti-Semitism’ smear campaign.
Over a hundred MPs
and peers, many of them overt racists and Islamaphobes like Baroness Cox and
Bob Blackman MP, but also including the Green Party’s
Caroline Lucas, called for Miller to be dismissed.
The result was that Bristol University capitulated despite him having been
cleared of anti-Semitism by two QCs.
David’s victory at the Employment
Tribunal in February 2024 which found that he had been wrongfully and unfairly
dismissed and directly discriminated against on the grounds of religion or
belief was welcome. The decision established that anti-Zionist views qualify as a protected
belief under the UK Equality Act 2010.
Statement by Bristol University - They then demonstrated why they don't regard the principle of academic freedom as fundamental
However Miller’s focus on the Zionist Lobby
has resulted in him being unable to see the wood for the trees. He cannot place
the power and influence of the Zionist lobby in any perspective or context. No
longer is Israel the attack dog of US imperialism. Rather it is Israel which is
in control of imperialism. Indeed it has become the major imperialist power!
Political
Degeneration
Miller’s political regression can be traced to
a tweet in August 2023 where he made 3 points:
1. Jews are not discriminated against.
2. They are over-represented in Europe,
North America and Latin America in positions of cultural, economic and
political power.
3. They are therefore, in a position to
discriminate against actually marginalised groups.
Miller
was correct to say that Jews are not discriminated against or experiencing
racism. There is no state anti-Semitism in Britain or Europe. Anti-Semitism is
a marginal prejudice. I could even accept his observations on Jewish
‘overrepresentation’ in positions of power, because statistically and
sociologically it is undoubtedly true, though how relevant it is is debateable.
However
Miller’s third point that this enabled Jews to discriminate against those who
were oppressed was wrong. If Jews in powerful positions discriminate against
others they do it as part of the organisations they are a part of, not as
collective Jews.
Miller’s political degeneration was then rapid. On 21 September
2024 he retweeted a thread by an
open Nazi, Aiden Hunter. Hunter had previously called for the
"eradication" of Jewish people as a "moral and racial duty". In the same tweet Miller copied an
article by Richard Lynn, editor of Mankind Quarterly ‘On the high intelligence and cognitive achievements of Jews in
Britain’.
Mankind
Quarterly was
established in 1960 in order to oppose to civil rights in America. It has
been described as a ‘white supremacist journal’ and by the Southern
Poverty Law Centre as a ‘pseudo-academic journal... a vehicle for scientific racism.’
It
only takes a minute of research on the Internet to establish who Richard Lynn, Mankind Quarterly and Aiden Hunter are.
It casts a shadow over the rest of Miller’s research, especially his
conclusions.
Important thread. Don’t agree with everything in it. But the ideas need discussion.
— David Miller (@Tracking_Power) September 20, 2024
There is an actual academic literature on this.
Are Jews so (relatively) privileged because of ‘intelligence’ or ‘culture’?
Or are there other explanations?
And what are the consequences in… https://t.co/313tHSvnt3 pic.twitter.com/Q4KTyE2yY1
When
I first saw the tweet it was obvious that it smacked of the racial sciences.
Why was ‘Jewish intelligence’ even a subject for discussion? Miller asked:
The Origins of
Zionism
I
explained
that Zionism was the creation of British imperialism and Christian Zionism not
Jews.
A
Leader in The
Times of 17 August 1840, called for a plan ‘to plant the
Jewish people in the land of their fathers’ claiming that it was
under ‘serious
political consideration’. When Lord Palmerston approached the Board
of Deputies in August 1840 to inquire about Jewish settlement projects, he got
a very lukewarm response. The only ones who didn’t want to ‘return’ were the
Jews themselves! In a resolution passed on 7 November 1842 the Board of
Deputies resolved that it
is
precluded from originating any measure for carrying out the benevolent views of
Colonel Churchill respecting the Jews of Syria. [Regina Sharif, Non-Jewish
Zionism – Its Roots in Western History, pp.58-63, Zed Press, 1983].
In
October 1917 the leader of the Board of Deputies, Claude Montefiore admitted
that:
if H.M. Govt. is anxious to publish this formula
[the Balfour Declaration] for the sake of the country, as well as the Jews, I
would, of course, subordinate my Jewish feelings, wishes & interests to the
interests of England and the Empire.
The Conjoint Foreign Committee,
which dealt with foreign affairs
‘appears
to have been particularly slow to see the extent to which British Imperial
interests might ultimately converge with Zionist ambitions.’
The British Jewish bourgeoisie
were opposed to Zionism in the 19th and early 20th century. It wasn’t until
1939 that the Zionist Selig Brodetsky won the Presidency of the BOD.
One of the earliest supporters of
the Jewish ‘return’ to Palestine was the Protestant Evangelical Lord Antony
Ashley Cooper, seventh Earl of Shaftesbury. He was also anti-Semitic and opposed
Jewish Emancipation in 1858. It was on Shaftesbury’s insistence that Palmerston
in 1838 opened a British consulate in Jerusalem and appointed a Vice-Consul
there. William Young, with the title of Protector of the Jews in Palestine.
The 1845 Frankfurt Rabbinical
Conference agreed a resolution that
all
petitions for the return to the land of our fathers and for the restoration of
the Jewish state should be eliminated from the prayers.
The Central Conference of American
Rabbis in the Pittsburgh Declaration of 1885 declared:
We consider ourselves no longer a nation but a
religious community, and therefore expect neither a return to Palestine… nor
the restoration of any of the laws concerning the Jewish state.’
The only member of Lloyd George’s
War Cabinet to vote against the Balfour Declaration was its only Jewish member, Sir
Edwin Montagu. The anti-Zionist Jewish bourgeoisie in Britain only came
round to the idea of Zionism when it was clear that support for Zionism was the
fixed position of British imperialism.
Jewish Supremacism
On
21 October 2024 Miller declared
that ‘the
State of Israel is at war with you’. That when activists or Muslims
are arrested “that
is being done directly on behalf of the State of Israel”
Having been arrested
by the counter-terror police and facing trial imminently I don’t consider that
my arrest was done on behalf of the Israeli state. I was arrested by the
British state. Miller’s answer was
The challenge is to be anti-Zionist, to materially
contribute to the global struggle against Jewish supremacism. Your war is right
where you are.
From 2024 he was tweeting repeatedly about
‘Jewish supremacism’, going so far as to anticipate
that at the impending General Election the British state would be “totally captured by genocidal Jewish
supremacists.”
No
longer was the fight against Zionism but Jewish Supremacism. On 14 November
2025 he tweeted
in respect of an interview
by Amar Kazmi with Rahmeh Aladwan that
Jewish supremacism is the kernel of Zionism but is
also disturbingly common among self-professed anti-Zionist Jews, several of
whom are involved in the leadership of the 'pro-Palestine' movement.
This helps to curb the emergence of a genuinely liberatory anti-Zionism, which would necessarily challenge Zionism in Jewish institutions.
He
offered no evidence for this analysis or attack on Jewish anti-Zionists.
Miller
talked about ‘the global struggle against Jewish supremacism’ not even Zionism. He not only conflated all Jewish
people with the Israeli state, like the Zionists, but he implied that all Jews
are Jewish Supremacists. It is difficult to see this as anything but
anti-Semitic.
Israel
is a Jewish Supremacist state, which even Israel’s B’tselem acknowledges but Miller’s call was not directed at Israel
but at Jews everywhere.
Even
accepting that up to two-thirds of diaspora Jews identify as Zionists, I doubt
if any but a fraction are open Jewish supremacists. Most Jews see Israel,
wrongly, as a refuge against anti-Semitism or a place where their family are.
Of course a minority are Jewish supremacists and openly support the repression
of Palestinians but even they are not arguing for Jewish supremacism within the
societies they live in. They are also not the problem. The Israeli state and
western support for it is.
If
you call for a global struggle against Jewish Supremacy then you are talking
about a racial, not a political struggle. You will inevitably find yourself
aligned with those on the far-right who are happy to join the fight against
Jewish Supremacy. In other words you are joining with those who are in full
support of imperialism but wish to divert the fight to a battle against what
they see as Jewish control of western nations.
In
an essay Zionism,
Jewish Supremacy, Imperialism in the German context Hebh Jamal writes about
Jewish Supremacy as:
a supposedly independent force that controls Western
governments and coerces them into acting in Israel’s interest. According to
this framework, Zionism is not an expression of imperialism but a unique racial
power structure, and therefore we should be willing to align with anyone,
including right-wing actors, to combat it.
This argument... only makes sense if you detach
Palestine from the material systems, including the military, economic and
ideological structures, that sustain colonial projects. Without situating
Zionism within imperialism, settler colonialism, capitalism and white
supremacy, you are left with a worldview that mistakes symptoms for causes.
To be clear: Jewish supremacy is real. It is
the racial logic that undergirds the creation of a Jewish ethnonational state,
the apartheid legal system and the genocidal violence unleashed on
Palestinians....
But Jewish supremacy in this context is a
function of Zionism, not a global force directing Western empires. It is a
racial logic embedded within a settler-colonial project that thrives because it
is aligned with Western imperial interests, not because it controls them.
Racism & Colonialism
Miller
and his followers however makes all the mistakes that Hebh Jamal outlines. He
and others, not least his devotee Dr Rahmeh Aladwan, see Jewish Supremacy as an
independent force in itself, rather than a consequence of Zionism’s creation of
the Israeli state.
Miller
argues
that Islamophobia in the West is a product of Zionism and Israel. “the soldiers
of Zion have penetrated the security establishment of your state to make its
policy.” Miller avoided telling us how they managed to achieve this
remarkable feat. Even worse, without this penetration the British state would
be a benevolent and benign creature.
At
a stroke Miller has erased the inherent racism of British colonialism and its
assumption that conquering other peoples’ territories was a good thing, on
account of their ‘backwardness’. Was Trump’s Muslim ban also a consequence of Israel? Did Trump label all Mexicans as rapists because of the soldiers of
Zion? And the deportations to Latin America and the current threats to
Venezuela?
It
is not difficult to see how this kind of conspiracy theory of an all-powerful
Zionism and an independent ‘Jewish Supremacy’ degenerates into anti-Semitism.
British fascists used to condemn Israel because in their eyes it was a ‘Jewish’
state. They were devoted advocates of the British Empire but resented the Jews
playing a part in it. The Palestine solidarity movement wanted nothing to do
with them but Miller seems to be embracing them.
Racism
in the West is home grown. Islamophobia goes hand in hand with support for
Israel, a vicious anti-Muslim state. Attacks on Muslims in Britain are not
being done on behalf of Israel but our own state. The same is true in the US.
Miller says
Take Geert Wilders, in the Netherlands, … Wilders
can be said to be a creation of the State of Israel and its foreign intelligence
assets.
Wilders is not a creation of the
Israeli state. He is a home-grown fascist for whom Zionism is attractive
because it is seen as the ideal ethno-nationalist state. In Change Jordan’s name to Palestine Gilders
said:
If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims,
Athens and Rome will be next. Thus, Jerusalem is the main front protecting the
West. It is not a conflict over territory but rather an ideological battle,
between the mentality of the liberated West and the ideology of Islamic
barbarism.
Miller
therefore exonerated the West of racism by saying that their racism is not the
product of their own societies but that of Israel. He therefore exonerated
imperialism.
Miller’s
language is sloppy and imprecise, especially for an academic. I suspect this is
deliberate. Miller has abandoned anti-Zionism and anti-imperialism. Zionism is
simply about Zionist fanatics and the soldiers
of Zion.
When
he says that the British and American states don’t do what they do because of
capitalism or imperialism but because of infiltration by Zionists he is absolving
imperialism from blame for Israel. The support of the West for for Zionism is
on account of individuals not the architecture of the imperialist war machine.
He said that
there’s no such thing as ‘foreign’ policy. The
British state has made a colossal miscalculation by participating so directly
in this genocide,… The British people will have to repair this trajectory by
taking British political and public institutions out of the grip of Zionist
fanatics. This is the only way to preserve the balance of British society in
the long-term. It is essential that Britain is de-Zionised.
A de-Zionised Britain could be an example to other
post-imperial states in how to confront centuries of imperial violence and
chart a course away from the suicidal client relationship with the US.
Not
only is Britain ‘post imperial’ but
its support for Israel is because of a handful of Zionist fanatics. If it wasn’t for them the British
state would be a friendly, non-racial creature.
This
has nothing to do with anti-Zionism. It ignores the economic, strategic and
political imperatives behind imperialism. I responded to Miller here
and JVL republished it here.
An attack on the Left and Jewish anti-Zionists
In
another conspiratorial tweet, on 21 October 24, Miller wrote that
the ‘global
left is occupied and infiltrated by Zionist fanatics.’
Miller
doesn’t understand that attitudes on the left towards Israel have changed. In
the wake of the holocaust most of the left saw Israel in a favourable light.
They failed to see that an ethno-nationalist Jewish state would become
‘Hitler’s
bastard offspring’.
The
Labour left saw Zionism, Israel and settler colonialism as positive. The
natives were invisible. Historically much of the left, especially the
labourist, social democratic left were complicit in seeing imperialism and
colonialism as having positive attributes.
Trotskyists
adopted a position of neutrality during the Nakba seeing the 1948 war between
Israel and the Arab armies as a conflict between British imperialism, its Arab
allies and Israel. The Communist Parties under Stalin, supported UN resolution 181 and the creation of a ‘Jewish’ state.
This
all changed with the invasion of Lebanon in 1982 when Tony Benn and Eric Heffer
resigned from Labour Friends of Israel. In 1948 most people
knew nothing of the Nakba. They didn’t see that Zionism had much in common with
the Nazis ideologically and had collaborated
with them. Israel’s army had been trained by the British and it easily saw off
the ramshackle Arab armies with the exception of Transjordan’s Arab Legion.
With
the rise in support for anti-imperialist struggles in Cuba, Vietnam and South
Africa, the left reassessed its position. The PLO emerged after 1967 as an
independent force as the Arab regimes were discredited. Israel was seen as an
arm of US imperialism.
In
the Labour Party it was the right-wing which had historically been pro-Arab.
People like Christopher Mayhew, David Watkins and Andrew
Faulds. After 1982 the Right realigned. Support for Zionism was virtually a
condition of New Labour. Miller is simply wrong.
Miller
argued
that ‘A
basic tenet of anti-imperialism is to begin with suspicion when confronted by
possible agents of Empire.’ I hate to disappoint Miller but a basic
tenet of anti-imperialism is support for the oppressed not the oppressor. And who
are these agents of Empire?
In
other words it is leftist ‘Jewish ‘allies’’ who are the agents of Empire. This
is clearly anti-Semitic. Jews are entryists, infiltrators. Anti-Zionist Jews
should be treated with suspicion. It is an open call to divide the solidarity
movement between Jews and non-Jews. It is a call to racialise the solidarity
movement. It assumes that Jews are inherently Zionists and as such Miller’s
arguments reflect Zionist arguments. It assumes that Jews (and non-Jews) are
all of one mind.
Miller
fails to acknowledge that Jews might have good reasons to oppose Zionism.
Zionism endangers Jews outside Israel through associating them with Israel’s
ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel seeks to control and manipulate Jewish
communities into giving it blanket political support.
We
only have to think of people like Moshe Machover, Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim and
Haim Bresheeth to recognise the anti-Zionist Jewish contribution to the
struggle. It was the Israeli socialist group Matzpen which first
called Israel a settler colonial state.
Whilst
Jewish Voice for Peace have been organising thousands of its supporters on the streets
Miller has been waging war against Jewish ‘infiltrators’. Miller is doing the
Zionists’ work for them. In a tweet
of 24 March 2025 Miller said
Those who are interested in ending this genocide
must begin by targeting those responsible near them... there are Zionists
everywhere. In every town and city. Find out where they are.
Do
people really think that the genocide in Gaza can be ended by outing our local
Zionist activists? They may be annoying
loudmouthed racists like Brighton’s very own Little
Miss Hitler (Victoria Boghal) but are they really responsible for the
genocide in Gaza?
Is
this how imperialism operates? Would the genocide not have happened but for
individual Zionists in Britain? To ask the question is to answer it. Those
responsible for enabling Israel’s holocaust happen to be people like Lammy,
Starmer and Cooper – all non-Jews. And since about two-thirds of Jews are
Zionists hunting them down will inevitably be portrayed as Jew hunting.
But if you dismiss imperialism as
an interconnected system of war, economic exploitation and political
domination, then it’s easier to focus on individual Zionists whilst ignoring
imperialism and the complicity of the Arab regimes. Miller fails to understand
why Western capitalism supports Israel. His views on the relationship between
the British state and Zionism are empirical and subjective, reduced to a
handful of malevolent individuals.
Even if we hunted down every
single Zionist in Britain and put them up against the wall, that would not save
one Palestinian child in Gaza. Netanyahu has all but
written off
American Jewry which is 20 times the size of the British Zionist community in
favour of the more reliable Christian Evangelicals.
Miller’s analysis is so childish
that it barely warrants scrutiny. It says a lot about the political poverty of
some of those who see themselves as Palestinian supporters that they cannot see
that his arguments are completely crazy. Bonkers.
The
idea that the West supports Israel because Zionists have crept into powerful
positions barely merits a response. Are the Christian Zionists in Trump’s
cabinet all infiltrators? Is Marco
Rubio, US Secretary of State a Zionist infiltrator?
Why does Germany’s AfD, which is riddled
with neo-Nazis and holocaust deniers, love Israel so much? Is it because of infiltrators or
because far-right and neo-Nazi groups although they don’t love Jews do hate
Muslims. In appearing on anti-Semitic and White Supremacist platforms like Stew
Peters Miller is mixing in some very unsavoury company. But this is the
logic if your common enemy is Jewish Supremacy.
In
a tweet of 3 March 2025 Miller dug himself further into a hole.
He wrote that ‘there
are no‘Israeli’ anti-Zionists’. Presumably my friends Ronnie
Barkan and Stav Sinai, who are facing trial as Palestine Actionists don’t
exist? Both of them are Israeli. Miller posted that
It is doubtful whether there are more than a handful of Jewish
anti-Zionists anywhere,..... After
all, how many Jewish martyrs have there been in the past 140 [years] on the
path to liberate Palestine from Zionism? How many Jews have engaged in military
action against Zionist targets in that period?
Stav Sinai & Ronnie Barkan, two Israeli anti-Zionists who, according to Miller don't exist, at Bristol Crown Court where they were sentenced for taking part in Palestine Action's dismantlement of an Elbit factory
One
wonders whether Miller’s strictures apply to himself! His arguments are pathetic
beyond words. But what is worse that they reflect the common Zionist slogan
that they represent the 99% of Jews at the very time when Jewish support for
Israel is slowly breaking down.
Miller
is not only going down an anti-Semitic rabbit hole but a Zionist one too.
Despite being a professor, Miller is ignorant about the history of Zionism. It
is often said that the higher you rise in academia the more you know about less
and less. Miller is a perfect example.
Israel does not control either
British or US foreign policy. Support for Israel is deemed by our own ruling
class to be in their interests. The United States hasn’t backed the genocide in
Gaza because Biden was senile and addicted to Zionism. Trump has followed
Biden’s support, if anything outdoing him David consistently looks down the
telescope from the wrong end.
Israel is a Jewish Supremacist
state. The majority of world Jewry support it though there is a growing and
vociferous minority, especially young Jews, who don’t. A poll
in 2021 found that 25% of American Jews see Israel as an apartheid state,
climbing to 38% of under 40s. Today 39% say
Israel is committing genocide and 61% say they are committing war crimes.
Jews function as the moral alibi
for imperialist support for Israel. That is an entirely different thing from
saying they are responsible for Britain supporting Israel. Miller suffers from political
autism. An inability to see that evidence of A, Jewish support for Zionism, does
not lead to B, British support for Zionism. B is independent of A but B might
make use of A. There is no causal link between A and B. What imperialism is
happy to do is to wrap their imperialist project in the clothes of Jews and the
holocaust.
The rise of the Jewish Empire
David Miller, not content with arguing
that the Zionist tail wags the imperialist dog has gone one further. Its no
longer a Greater Israel within the Middle East but the rise of a global Jewish
empire. Miller wrote on 26 April 2025 that:
The argument that the ‘State of Israel’ exists today solely as an
extension of Western imperialism is outdated. Now, Israeli state capture has
taken place within the United States and most Western governments
Miller rejects the idea that support for Zionism in the USA is because of
the Zionist lobby. On 15 November 2025 Miller explained how anyone who thinks the US
Empire is distinct from or in charge of the Zionist project is at least 25
years behind reality. On 16 November 2025 Miller wrote that
The ‘lobby’ thesis also completely fails to account for entryism,
penetration and subversion of US imperial institutions, which is an essential
Zionist tactic globally and has been as long as Zionism has existed.
Mearsheimer claims 'the lobby' tries to exert influence on the State Department
and the Department of Defence.
The lobby' in the US is a tiny part of the wider Zionist movement,
which in turn is a part of a far broader, global Jewish Empire with interests
stretching from Argentina to Azerbaijan to Australia.
Miller said that Mearsheimer was ignorant about Zionism and ‘hasn't been in touch with the reality of
American politics since 1945.’ The arrogance is breathtaking given that
Mearsheimer is widely
recognised as the world’s leading realist scholar
of international relations.
Between 19 July 2023, when Miller wrote about ‘How Israeli lobbying drove Britain to adopt an
anti-Palestine policy’ and November 2025 there had been a major shift.
Jewish Power
On 16 August 2024 Miller wrote that:
In many countries, not least the US and the UK, Jews occupy
strategic positions in the entertainment industry, the arts, publishing,
journals of opinion, the academy, the legal profession, and government. Jews
are represented in Britain in numbers that are many times their proportion of
the population,"
and then he
concluded that it would be a wonder
if these raw data didn’t
translate into outsized Jewish political power. ... It is certainly legitimate
to query the amplitude of this political power and whether it has been
exaggerated, but it cannot be right to deny (or suppress) critical
socioeconomic facts.
This is an example of Miller’s
flawed methodology. He leaps from the fact that Jews in the West are relatively
privileged to the conclusion that that is why Britain supports Israel. He also
assumes that Jews act as one, as a collective. I accept that Jews in Britain
are not victims of racism and discrimination and that anti-Semitism in Britain
is marginal but to then jump to the question of an ‘outsized Jewish political power’ is something else.
On 16 November 2025 he wrote that Zionists
are groomed and radicalised from an early age, not just to support
the Jewish colony in the Levant but to infiltrate their host society and to
influence it in Zionist interests.... a fundamental strategy of the
transnational Zionist movement and it has been since it was encoded in the
Jerusalem Program in 1951 ... Jews are the most advantaged Religious/minority
group.... There are 276 Jewish billionaires in the world, in 2025, according to
Forbes... (out of) a total of 3,028 billionaires in the world. In other words
some 9.1% of the world's billionaires are Jewish; compared to 0.2% of the
global population.
This is
another example of an anti-Semitic and Zionist mentality. Jews in Britain don’t
‘infiltrate their
host society’ they are not aliens they are
part of that society.
Now it may
well be true that Jews are statistically over represented in certain sections
in proportion to their numbers in society but it is quite another thing to
suggest that they act collectively.
The whole
concept of ‘Jewish Power’ is an updated version of historic Jewish conspiracy
theories. I’m not suggesting that Miller is therefore arguing for a political
program involving expulsion of Jews from western societies, although others
will certainly do so. However it is noticeable how many neo-Nazis and
anti-Semites are commenting favourably on his X posts.
It is an
entirely legitimate to ask why Jews are represented in the numbers Miller
suggests. I have no doubt that there are historical-materialist reasons.
However it is the conclusions and the use to which Miller puts these which I am
questioning.
Conclusion
Such is the delusional nature of his conspiracy theories that I
question Miller’s sanity. It is not as if he has written anything even remotely
equivalent to Mearsheimer’s The
Tragedy of Great Power Politics. His theories of the new Jewish Empire
are grounded in fantasy. There is no overarching framework to what is an
obsession with pouring out his latest undigested thoughts on Twitter.
Whereas most
of us greeted the election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York as a victory
over the corrupt Democratic establishment (and Trump) Miller saw no change, writing
that:
‘Zohran Mamdani is a Zionist
and a servant of Zionists. If you want to keep getting mugged by shysters like
him while they spit in your face and then stand on your shoulders, good luck to
you.’
To see no change at all in the American
political climate, or to abuse someone who has been forthright about the
genocide in Gaza is truly amazing. The fact that over
a third of New York Jews voted for Mamdani is itself remarkable. As JVL
remarked in statement
(14 November):
You have to be living on another planet not to have noticed the phenomenal achievement of Mamdani winning against all the odds: against the Democratic establishment, against the mainstream Jewish lobbying groups, against the big money which dominates US politics and countless Islamophobic slurs against him.... Miller’s writings are increasingly shrill, divisive and misleading. [See Jonathan Rosenhead’s Trusting Heroes? David
With the creation of the Jewish Empire there
also comes Pax Judaica. On 12 April
2025 Miller posted
that “the Zionist Empire operates by
penetrating and subverting Western states, societies and economies to serve its
ends.”
Miller wrote endorsing
the far-right Candace Owens in respect of the release of the Epstein files: ‘The new Jewish Empire also seeks hegemony in the digital
sphere’.
David Miller is the organiser of the Palestine Declassified program
which is funded by the Iranian state. Miller is a staunch defender of the
clerical Iranian regime. When Roshan Salih, Editor of the conservative Islamic

that:
Sections of the Left hold deeply Islamophobic views. This is the
section that seems to support Zarah Sultana... they automatically assume Muslim
men are motivated by nothing but misogyny.
Miller responded saying that
There is a lot of truth in this, and @zarahsultana's commitment to the sort of
muscular liberalism which was produced by the War on Terror — weaponising
feminism, sexuality and gender against Muslims — has done enormous damage to
Your Party's prospects to alliance-building.
This is an outrageous
libel. Zarah Sultana is an anti-imperialist not a supporter of the war on
terror. 5
Pillars supports the Taliban’s oppression of women in Afghanistan. There is
nothing Islamophobic about opposing the repression of women by so-called Islamic
regimes, be they in Iran or Afghanistan.
Miller continues on his bizarre and erratic journey
to the right. I wonder when his followers will wake up to the political and
intellectual bankruptcy of their idol?
