Miranda's mother was a secular Jewish refugee from the Sudetenland, who was horrified at what was being done to the native Palestinians in her name as a Jew. It was because of her mother that Miranda developed her interest in, and later passion for, human rights.

​

In 2009 Miranda spent 3 months in Hebron and the South Hebron Hills as part of an international monitoring team. He role included accompanying Palestinians, especially children, through checkpoints. She worked alongside Jewish human rights groups, as well as with Christians and Muslims, all of whom were seeking an end to the Israeli occupation and the application of human rights, equality and international law for all.

​

Miranda returns to Israel/Palestine almost every year, and between 2017 and 2019 produced the film 'From Balfour to Banksy - Divisions and Visions in Palestine' . She works closely with several human rights organisations including The Balfour Project, and edits a page for its website on the British Government's position.

​

As a Liberal Democrat, Miranda attended the Home Affairs Committee enquiry of 2016 into antisemitism, along with representatives from Labour and SNP, but was shocked to find that their testimonies were not included in the final report.

Miranda believes that public debate based on education, the sharing of facts and free speech are essential to counter misrepresentation, propaganda and even lies that are being fed to the public. Indeed, she sees this behaviour as achieving short-term ends and military advantage at the expense of the Law, humanity and the environment.
