There will be no escape from justice: Pro-Palestinian UK scholar to Zionist genocidaires

A British scholar and pro-Palestinian activist strongly condemns Zionist groups and individuals for their role in either leading or enabling the Israeli regime’s underway genocidal campaigns across the West Asia region, noting how they have been targeting him for exposing their genocidal efforts and intents.

David Miller’s remarks made in a post on X, former Twitter, on Tuesday came amid a fresh wave of accusations from the pro-Israeli Board of Deputies of British Jews, which has called on the UK government to take action against him.

Miller, a former academic who has faced repeated censorship for his outspoken criticism of Zionism and Zionist violence, declared that “the Zionist movement globally, including its members, funders, and leaders, will have to face justice and accountability for the genocide it has led in the Levant over the past 18 months.”

Levant refers to vast swathes of West Asia that includes Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, where the regime has been leading either a drawn-out genocidal war or escalated deadly aggression.

“There will be no escape from justice,” he added. “Prosecutions, international arrest warrants, and all imaginable legal consequences will be meted out. This incessant campaign of Zionist rape, torture, jailing, bombardment, and theft has a price, and that price is the relentless march of justice for all involved.”

The scholar’s remarks addressed, among other things, the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s issuing arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former minister for military affairs Yoav Gallant last November over war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza, which has been subject to Tel Aviv’s genocidal war since October 2023.

ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant for war crimes

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and his former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant.

The brutal military assault, combined with another Israeli war against Lebanon that has lasted roughly the same, and intensified assaults on Syria and the occupied West Bank have also given rise to numerous pro-Palestinian campaigns calling for an end to the incessant aggression and accountability for Israeli officials.

Miller’s statement followed a renewed attempt by Zionist lobbying groups to silence his activism, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews’ having written to the UK Home Office, accusing him of “inciting violence” against Jewish individuals and institutions in Britain without making mention of his peaceful campaign against pro-genocide Zionists.

Also on Tuesday, the board freshly targeted Miller in a post on X, trying to brand his campaign as a means of “inciting violence” rather than peaceful pro-Palestinian activism.

It cited his attending the Beirut funeral of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah’s former secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated by the Israeli regime last year.

The body identified Hezbollah, which has been robustly standing up to deadly Israeli escalation, as a “proscribed ‘terrorist group,’” referring to the United States and the Israeli regime’s other allies such as the UK’s branding the group in those terms.

Fresh from attending the monumental funeral that was also participated by thousands of other regional and international people and officials, “Miller has now stated that ‘the entire Zionist movement globally’ is responsible for ‘genocide,’ and should be ‘targeted,’” the body wrote.

While having called the entire global Zionist movement responsible for genocide and urged administration of justice and pressing for accountability for Zionist figures over genocide, Miller, himself, has not come up with the "should be targeted" part that the board claims he has.

The body further claimed that the scholar had emphasized that most British Jews hold “a significant and personal attachment to Israel.”

This is while Miller’s remarks have invariably focused on Zionism as a political movement rather than Jewish individuals broadly.

The board also pointed to another statement by Miller, in which he had said, “Protests are not enough… there are Zionists everywhere. In every town and city… Find out where they are.”

The organization labeled these comments as “threatening language” and called for immediate government intervention.

Miller, however, has asserted that his words were being misrepresented in a deliberate effort to silence pro-Palestinian voices.

He has cited Zionist groups’ historical attempts to criminalize criticism of the Israeli regime as part of a broader campaign to suppress discussions about ongoing atrocities in Palestine.

His latest statements align with other pro-Palestinian personalities’ assertions that Zionist ideology is deeply tied to racist policies.

How racism deeply ingrained in Zionist ideology enabled genocidal war on Gaza

The toxic culture of racism deeply ingrained in the Zionist ideology, which only intensified since October 2023, enabled the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Zionist campaigners and officials, observers argue, promote and lead such policies as a means of trying to justify military aggression towards realization of a broader pattern of systematic oppression and ethnic cleansing.

Miller’s clash with UK authorities and Zionist lobby groups has escalated since his return from Lebanon.

Upon his return, he revealed in an exclusive report how UK counter-terror police, in collaboration with Zionist organizations, detained and interrogated him to intimidate him and criminalize his political views.
