Anti-Zionist academic David Miller has been detained as Starmer’s war on anti-genocide speech continues, according to Skwawkbox:

The article states:

Professor David Miller, the noted anti-Zionist academic – whose landmark employment tribunal case, after he was dismissed by Bristol University despite its lawyers finding he has said nothing antisemitic, set UK legal precedent that anti-Zionism is a protected philosophical belief – was detained by British counter-terrorism police under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 as he returned to Heathrow Airport from Beirut earlier this week.

Miller had been reporting on the funeral of Syed Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah Secretary-General who was assassinated last year by Israel in a bombing raid that flattened six Beirut residential blocks and killed hundreds of others. Miller was held for three and a half hours under Section 7, which deprives detained people of their right to silence and privacy despite carrying no assumed suspicion, and questioned about his trip to Lebanon. He was subsequently released without charge.

The detention, which came after pressure from pro-Israel groups and pro-Israel former Tory government minister Robert Jenrick, is the latest episode of Keir Starmer’s war on pro-Palestine speech in which UK police have abused anti-terror laws to raid, harass, intimidate and criminalise activists and journalists who expose and resist Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, which has killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
