A Birmingham community venue is scheduled to host the launch of a group that openly supports “armed resistance” and campaigns against what it calls “Jewish supremacy”.

The event, due to take place next Sunday at the Old Print Works – a community centre complete with a cafe, co-working space and darkroom – is billed as the launch of the “Anti Zionist Movement”, a group that states publicly that it is “pro-armed resistance” and explicitly campaigns “against Jewish supremacy”. The group’s Instagram description reads “Liberation via zio eradication”.

The event is supported by the “Activist Independent Movement” group. Promotional material indicates that it will feature a lineup of speakers who have attracted controversy over their previous comments.

It includes David Miller, an academic sacked by the University of Bristol in 2021 over his anti-Zionist views; NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan who was suspended from practising last November for 15 months over alleged antisemitic social media posts pending an investigation; and Iran state TV journalist Latifa Abouchakra.
