The National Jewish Assembly (NJA) condemns in the strongest possible terms the latest remarks by disgraced academic David Miller, whose open call to “target Zionists” and “find out where they are” represents a clear incitement to hatred and a potential incitement to violence.
In a chilling social media post to nearly 90,000 followers, Miller wrote: “The entire Zionist movement globally must live in fear of accountability until it is dismantled… there are Zionists everywhere. In every town and city. Find out where they are.” Such rhetoric is not abstract. It is threatening, menacing, and unmistakably designed to encourage harassment, intimidation, and worse.
Let us be unequivocal: the overwhelming majority of Jews in the UK — and around the world — identify as Zionists. Miller’s call to “target” Zionists is therefore a call to target Jews. This is not political criticism; it is incitement masked as ideology. And it must be met with the full force of the law.
Miller has long positioned himself as an intellectual provocateur, but this is no longer about academic discourse. This is dangerous extremism. From his disgraceful tenure at Bristol University to his repeated use of dehumanising, conspiratorial language about Jews and Israel, Miller has consistently stoked the flames of antisemitism under the guise of “anti-Zionism.” Now, his mask has fully slipped.
NJA Managing Director Steve Winston said: “David Miller’s latest outburst is a blatant incitement to hatred and should be treated as such by the authorities. When someone with nearly 90,000 followers tells people to ‘find’ and ‘target’ Zionists — the vast majority of whom are simply ordinary Jewish men, women, and children — it becomes a matter of public safety. We demand immediate action from the police and the Home Office. Enough is enough. This is no longer a matter of free speech — it is a matter of protecting British Jews from hate-fuelled incitement.”
The NJA urges law enforcement and political leaders to act decisively before Miller’s rhetoric turns into real-world harm. Silence in the face of such danger is complicity.
