David Miller, a former sociology professor at the University of Bristol, is facing legal proceedings after complaints from an Israeli lobbying group about his social media posts.
A long time critic of Zionism as a racist ideology, he says this is yet another witch hunt.
Miller was sacked from his job at the University of Bristol nearly four years ago over claims his lectures on Islamophobia created a hostile environment for Jewish students.
His supporters in the fight against Zionism, and he himself, argue his dismissal was driven by pressure from pro Israel lobby groups.
For now, the legal proceedings continue, and with them the debate over truth, power, and, the cost of standing up to Zionism.
The issues at stake stretch far beyond the legal chambers, they touch upon the global struggle over who can speak up against Zionism, what can be questioned, and whether anyone can challenge Israel's powerful political lobbies without fear of retribution. (more...)
