Breaking: A leaked document shows that the lawyer @BristolUni instructed to investigate David Miller totally exonerated him of anti-Semitism or any other wrongdoing 🧵👇 electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wins…
The lawyer found that Professor David Miller "had no case to answer". Despite this @BristolUni bowed to the dictates of Israel and its lobby and fired him anyway.
The leaked document also proves that the complaint against Miller was instigated by Israel lobby groups the @CST_UK and @UJS_UK -- not by "terrified" students on campus.
Only later did two anonymous complainants -- seemingly the UJS activists @ninafreedman1 and @hannah1_rose -- collude with the CST and UJS to front the complaint on campus.
The initial @CST_UK complaint was rejected on the basis that was an off-campus group.
The leak also shows no complaints were made by any of David Miller's students, despite being repeatedly offered anonymity.
Finally, the document also shows that "AA" (likely @ninafreedman1) was complaining about off-campus remarks made by David Miller which took place before she was even a student there -- and which were in any case not anti-Semitic.

Here's a few things detailed in my latest article, about Labour conference 🧵👇
Shadow foreign minister @lisanandy was given a massive round of applause by Labour Friends of Israel for undermining the @PSCupdates motion against Israeli apartheid
Addressing Labour Friends of Israel at their annual reception, @lisanandy promised the lobby group she would "always, always, always" stand with them -- and said the Corbyn era was a "nightmare" now ended
Here's @OwenJones84, yet again, fuelling Labour's McCarthyist purge of socialists and Palestine solidarity activists.
Owen Jones is a willing lackey of the Israel lobby. Thread: 🧵👇
Owen Jones -- as usual -- wants to have it both ways. He claims not to "support" expulsion of @KenLoachSixteen, yet in the same breath implies expulsion was correct -- because a play he directed in 1987 expressed Forbidden Criticism of Zionism (Israel's racist official ideology).
Owen Jones even has the chutzpah to imply @KenLoachSixteen -- who was a socialist when Jones was still in nappies -- is not really even "someone on the left"!
The legal unit of @UKLabour wrote to us demanding censorship of my (totally accurate and uncontested) reporting about their racist anti-Palestinian (and anti-Semitic) officials. We told them where to go:
Breaking: @jeremycorbyn suspended from Labour for his blandly factual statement today: "the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media"
What a disgrace. But many, many of @jeremycorbyn's supporters warned him since 2016 this day was coming.
Instead he listened to siren voices on the fake left who successfully steered him onto a political suicidal course of indulging the smears.
What a pity.
What this goes to show is what we've been saying all along: it's useless and damaging to indulge these smears and pretend there is a major "anti-Semitism problem" when there isn't one.
Breaking: the EHRC has failed to find Labour "institutionally anti-Semitic" as requested by the @JewishLabour Movement in its referral last year.
Breaking: the EHRC, after a 17-month investigation into alleged institutional anti-Semitism has found only TWO cases of what it says were "unlawful acts" towards Jews.
Here's the *key* quote from the EHRC report: it shows what this deeply compromised pro-Tory body considers to be "anti-Semitic harassment of Jews".
The smear campaign against critics of Israel has always had this insane circular logic.
In a defamatory article for Bristol student rag @TheTab, their features editor @SabriSun_Miller demands the university fires Bristol professor David Miller (@Tracking_Power) for making "controversial comments about Israel" which make her "uncomfortable".
Poisonous McCarthyism.
I refuse to link to her article because it's honestly pure trash. Full of the usual lies about supposed left-wing anti-Semitism. With an extra CampusWatch-style McCarthyist twist, which is quite chilling.
According to @SabriSun_Miller, the idea that a Zionist movement exists is "invented" -- perhaps she should try telling the Zionist Federation and their many affiliates (such as the @JewishLabour Movement) that they are "invented" and see how that goes.
