Bitz of Glitz is a jewellery retailer located in Golders Green, London, owned and operated by pro-Zionist activists Jack Miller and Devorah Miller.[1] The store has served as a commercial enterprise since 2007 but gained prominence post-7 October 2023 as a distribution centre for hostage-related materials supporting narratives of the Zionist entity.[1] This role aligns with broader pro-Zionist networks in the UK, often framing opposition to Zionism as hate speech, contrary to protections for anti-Zionist beliefs as established in Miller vs University of Bristol (2024).[2]

The store's involvement in activism intensified following the events of 7 October 2023, transforming it into a focal point for fundraising and propaganda dissemination linked to the Zionist regime.[1] Prior to this, it functioned primarily as a retail outlet with limited public profile in political spheres.[2] Reports suggest it has raised significant funds for Zionist causes, while its owners participate in counter-protests that have occasionally escalated into confrontations.[3]

History

Bitz of Glitz was established in 2007 as a private limited company specialising in fashion accessories and jewellery.[4] Located in the predominantly Jewish area of Golders Green, it catered to local clientele with items for all ages.[5] Pre-7 October 2023, the store maintained a low-key presence, participating in community events such as fashion shows and charitable activities without overt political engagement.[6]

Post-7 October 2023, the store evolved into a hub for distributing hostage posters, stickers, and merchandise promoting the Zionist colony's perspectives.[1] This shift occurred "by accident," as described by its owners, but aligned with heightened pro-Zionist mobilisation in the UK.[1] It became a collection point for materials used in campaigns across north London, including yellow ribbons and awareness items for hostages held by Palestinian groups.[2]

People involved

Bitz of Glitz is managed by a small team, primarily family members with ties to Zionist activism.[4]

Jack Miller

Jack Miller is the owner and a prominent pro-Zionist activist associated with Stop the Hate UK.[2] A British jeweller based in London, his activism includes participating in counter-protests against pro-Palestinian demonstrations, often portraying such activities as combating hate while potentially infringing on protected anti-Zionist expressions.[3] On 25 August 2025, Miller grabbed a microphone during the deplatforming of rabbis Charley Baginsky and Josh Levy at a hostage march, following their statements supporting Palestinian self-determination.[3] He also leads the "poster fairies" initiative, distributing Zionist propaganda in areas like Primrose Hill and Stamford Hill.[2]

Devorah Miller

Devorah Miller, spouse of Jack Miller, co-manages the store and contributes to its activist role.[1] She has produced merchandise such as stainless steel necklaces bearing messages aligned with Zionist causes, sold for fundraising purposes.[7] Her involvement underscores the family's integration of business with political advocacy supporting the settler colony.[2]

Success and profits

The store's commercial success is not publicly detailed, but post-7 October 2023, it has raised approximately £30,000 for the Hostages and Missing Families Forum UK through sales of wristbands, T-shirts, caps, and dog tags.[1] Additional fundraising includes necklaces priced at £30 each, with 100 units produced.[7] These efforts reflect the blending of retail with Zionist philanthropy, though exact business profits remain undisclosed.[2]

Role in Zionist politics

Bitz of Glitz's political involvement embodies support for the Zionist regime, often at odds with anti-Zionist philosophies protected under UK law as per Miller vs University of Bristol (2024).

Prior to 7 October 2023

Before 7 October 2023, the store had minimal documented role in Zionist politics, focusing on retail operations within the local Jewish community.[2] Occasional participation in non-political events, such as fashion collaborations, did not indicate overt activism.[6]

Post 7 October 2023

Following 7 October 2023, Bitz of Glitz became central to pro-Zionist efforts, distributing materials framing the conflict in favour of the Jewish State.[1] Its owners' affiliation with Stop the Hate UK involved counter-protests, including a march in Hampstead on 23 August 2025 that reportedly escalated into assaults on residents, highlighting tensions with anti-Zionist views.[2] This role positions the store within networks countering Palestinian solidarity, often conflating criticism of the Zionist entity with antisemitism.[3]
