Former prof David Miler SHOCKS allies by going AGAINST Iranian women's struggle for freedom in Iran.

He denies murder of Mahsa Amini happened, says the word 'mullah' is islamophobic lashes out at "secularist Palestinians", claims an MI6, Mossad, CIA and French intel plot. 🧵

No right to take off hijab apparently:

Bash: "What about the right of women to wear what they see fit?"

Miller: "Are you asking me a question about sex work and the status of sex work?" 🤪

Werkmann: "The left doesn't support islamist revolutions and the reason for that might be because they kill a lot of us"

Miller: "I think that the Western coneption of individual rights is just that, it's a Western conception"

MILLER SHOCKS closest allies by claiming "what's happening in Iran is an armed insurrection from the outside which is being directed by the US and Israel thru their proxies" to go about "squashing of one of the key elements of the resistance against US imperialism in the world"

“Mahsa Amini she wasn’t murdered or killed she died, its very unfortunate but that was the spark which they used to pursue their aims, it’s perfectly clear. I think it’s the same, it’s a very similar thing to what happened in Syria"

liberating Palestine: It’s not going to happen by us having some more effective debates & discussions and BDS on Israel it’s going to come by defeat of the Zionist regime and that will not happen if we haven’t got other regimes and organisations to support Palestinian resistance"

A crushed Graham Bash castigates Miller:

"If Iran & Syria are the balwarks of struggle for socialism then let me make that clear I don't want anything to do with this struggle"

"I think the first question for us is whose side are we on?"

Miller:"What we see is hour by hour coordination between Iran, Hezbollah and the umbrella for the Palestinian resistance factions in Beirut. They have an intel ops centre in Beirut & they're practically involved in organising ops."

"World owes Iran a debt for the defeat of ISIS"

Miller:"Do we think that Palestine can be liberated without the Islamic Republic of Iran course it can't! This is absurd an absurd position!"

Yassamine (HOPI): "This idea Palestine can only be liberated by a country that has no respect for anyone in its own borders is a joke!"

Miller: “Islamist is a racist islamophobic term dreamt up I have to say by the Israelis in the period between 1979 and 1984 and we shouldn’t be using it on the left terms like Mullahs we should be properly analysing the Iranian state.”

Still waiting for that "proper analysis"

Miller: "She said 'secular Palestinians', by which she means 'secularist Palestinians' most of whom are islamophobes, now if you look at the actual resistance in Palestine...the armed groups...they are at one with Islamic Republic of Iran"

Looks like Miller is managing to convince even his closest allies that they should have nothing to do with him as he appears to go 100% in his support for Iran.

His alleged a/s was, if anything, a shared value, but support for Iran appears to be where they draw the (red) line.
