CAA commences private prosecution against David Miller
Campaign Against Antisemitism has launched a private prosecution against David Miller. Dr Miller was previously an academic at the University of Bristol and is currently a presenter on the Iranian channel Press TV.
The case relates to posts on X, which Dr Miller allegedly published in recent months. Three charges have been brought by Campaign Against Antisemitism alleging that Dr Miller used a public communications network to send messages of a menacing character, contrary to section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.
The first message was posted on 8th November 2024 in relation to a discussion on violence in Amsterdam after a football match involving an Israeli team. It read:
“…2. If the institutions do not do their duty of de-Zionising football by the stroke of a pen, the people will take care of it through material deZionisation on the streets. Last night’s response by the brave Muslim communities of Amsterdam was necessary, but extremely measured and not at all proportional to the genocidal violence unleashed by Zionist terrorists on the Levant, on Muslims worldwide, or indeed in the provocations that preceded the measured response. Future incidents will likely involve a more proportional response.
“3. As well as being unwelcoming to Zionist colonists coming from Occupied Palestine, Europe must be unviable as a base for Zionist terror by Jewish supremacists who have infiltrated and are camouflaged among us. Zionist terrorist entryists must be expunged from European institutions, whether political parties, media, thinktanks or elsewhere. Again, either institutions take the lead and conduct this work in orderly fashion with advice from experts on Zionist subversion, or the people will take care of it for them.
“The Flood is here and the ‘dam has broken.

The second message was posted on 20th March 2025 where Dr Miller stated:
“Every genuinely anti-Zionist Jew can count on being kept safe by the movement, when the time comes.
“Every Zionist Jew must be held accountable and de-Zionised.

The third message was posted on 24th March 2025 where Dr Miller commented:
“Protests are not enough. Listen to our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
“Those who are interested in ending this genocide must begin by targeting those responsible near them: the entire Zionist movement globally must live in fear of accountability until it is dismantled and its ideology eradicated.
“And let’s be clear, there are Zionists everywhere. In every town and city. Find out where they are.

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s application for a criminal summons to be issued against Dr Miller was granted by Westminster Magistrates’ Court with a first hearing scheduled for next month.
Campaign Against Antisemitism is a volunteer-led charity dedicated to exposing and countering antisemitism through education and zero-tolerance enforcement of the law.
