    Gilad Atzmon's New Book: The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics

    Jewish identity is tied up with some of the most difficult and contentious issues of today. The purpose in this book is to open many of these issues up for discussion. Since Israel defines itself openly as the ‘Jewish State’, we should ask what the notions of ’Judaism’, ‘Jewishness’, ‘Jewish culture’ and ‘Jewish ideology’ stand for. Gilad examines the tribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the ‘holocaust religion’; the meaning of ‘history’ and ‘time’ within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even within the Jewish left. He questions what it is that leads Diaspora Jews to identify themselves with Israel and affiliate with its politics. The devastating state of our world affairs raises an immediate demand for a conceptual shift in our intellectual and philosophical attitude towards politics, identity politics and history.

    The book is available on Amazon.com  or Amazon.co.uk

    Obama, Netanyahu & Esther 

    EstherWanderingWho

    http://www.deliberation.info/

    The Biblical Book of Esther that was given to President Obama by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday was far from being a cryptic message. The Book of Esther is a genocidal recipe. It is there to educate Jews how to infiltrate into foreign administrations. In my latest book The Wandering Who I explore the role of The Biblical text in shaping contemporary Jewish political Lobbying and its open attempt to dominate American and British foreign policies. In contemporary American politics we detect the following.

    • Esther’s and Mordechai’s role is played by AIPAC and American Jewish Committee (AJC) - Both openly push for a war against Iran.
    • President Obama is the Persian king Ahasuerus. Like the Persian king, Obama is asked to kill the ‘enemies of the Jews’
    • Haman, the ‘murderous Antisemite’ is clearly Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian people. In the Biblical tale, both Haman and his sons end up massacred.
    • And sadly enough repudiated queen Vashti, is played by the American people and humanity. seemingly, our prayer for peace and harmony is clearly ignored.

     

    The Book of Esther (The Wandering Who? by Gilad Atzmon, Chapter 19)


    ‘Haman said to King Achashvairosh, “There is a nation scattered and separated among the nations [the Jews] throughout your empire. Their laws are different than everyone else’s, they do not obey the king’s laws, and it does not pay for the king to tolerate their existence. If it pleases the king, let a law be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay to the executors ten thousand silver Kikar-coins for the king’s treasury.”’ (The Book Of Esther, Chapter 3) 

    The Book of Esther is a biblical story that forms the basis for the celebration of Purim, probably the most joyously celebrated Jewish festival. The book tells of an attempted Judeocide, but also of Jews who manage to change their fate. In the Book of Esther, the Jews rescue themselves, and even get to mete out revenge.

    It is set in the third year of the reign of the Persian king Ahasuerus (commonly identified with Xerxes I). It is a story of a palace, a conspiracy, the aforementioned attempted Judeocide and a brave and beautiful Jewish queen – Esther – who manages to save her people at the very last minute.

    Gilad Atzmon on Peter Collins Show (very interesting)

    Jazz Musician and Outspoken Israeli Gilad Atzmon on AIPAC, Israel and Possible Attack on Iran

    http://peterbcollins.com/2012/03/05/jazz-musician-and-outspoken-israeli-gilad-atzmon-on-aipac-israel-and-possible-attack-on-iran/

    Gilad Atzmon is a talented jazzman who joins us to talk about his new book The Wandering Who? and offers candid commentary on Zionism, Israel, the US and much more.

    Atzmon was born in Israel, and started to question his government after compulsory service in the Army.  American jazz led him to learn the saxophone, and he now sees his country, its government, and Zionism in a new light.  As Netanyahu visits Washington and the annual AIPAC conference is in full swing, here is a different Jewish voice calling for new approaches to the ongoing conflict.  Atzmon separates Zionism from Judaism, and predicts that the State of Israel will not be sustainable in the long term.  Atzmon clearly loves Israel, but deplores the hard-line treatment of Palestinians that are similar to the ways Jews were treated in Nazi Germany.  He has strong criticism for US support for extreme Israeli policies, and is very concerned about the prospect of a military attack on Iran.

    Xymphora: The superficial, and the profound

    http://xymphora.blogspot.com/

    Fight between the Angry Arab and Gilad Atzmon.  I like the Angry Arab.  He has a lot of good contacts and conveys a lot of information you can't get anywhere else.  He means well (too well, perhaps).  Having said that, Atzmon clearly wins.  Change a few words of whining to gloating, and change the Angry Arab's website name to the 'Happy Jew', and the Angry Arab's site could be a Zionist site.  There is nothing there that challenges Zionism in any way (in fact, it is just a list of Zionist 'wins' for the Jews to gloat over). 

    The Angry Arab's problem is the profoundly emasculating political correctness of the American liberal arts university professor.  It makes any real criticism of violent group supremacism impossible.  The genius of modern Zionism, and the reason it has been so hard to eradicate, is that it finds ways to hide in those areas of group behavior that are impossible to criticize in modern liberal discourse.  It is impermissible to even hint that someone might be conspiring to act as part of a group for group supremacist ends.  It is the Jews, relying on Nazi treatment of the Jews as the exemplar, who have made this kind of criticism improper.  Since such criticism is impossible - and is generally called 'anti-Semitism' - we are helpless when faced with an extremely powerful and rich group (and by the way, I think such criticism is proper when used on behalf of a powerless group, which the Jews clearly are not), bent on violent group supremacist ends.  Stop them?  We can't even talk about them!  I find it hilarious that you can't discuss this stuff even during AIPAC Dominance Week.

    Interpreting the Thoughts of Syafii Ma'arif, Gilad Atzmon and Israel-Palestine Issue

    http://www.ugm.ac.id

    Former Chairman of Muhammadiyah, Prof. Dr. Ahmad Syafii Ma'arif, M.A., assessed that the Israel-Palestinian conflict is not simply a matter of two different ethnic groups or nations, nor just a question of Arabs or Muslims. The issue according to Syafi’i is a humanitarian issue that demands everyone's responsibility.

    "It is not just about the Palestinians, Arabs, or Muslims, but also Jews/al-yahuud," Syafii Ma'arif said in the Great Thinkers "Israel, Palestine, Islam and Peace" Discussion of Gilad Atzmon’s Thought, at Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada on Tuesday (28/2). The discussion explored a book written by Syafii Ma'arif entitled Gilad Atzmon: Critical Notes on Palestine and the Future of Zionism.

    June Terpstra on the Atzmon Defamation League

    by Dr. June Terpstra

    PNG - 111.4 kb

    Recently, a group calling themselves progressives sponsored an open letter in The Monthly Review (MR) opposing sponsorship of events featuring author-musician Gilad Atzmon, aiming to censor his free speech concerning the Israeli atrocities against the Arab people. http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/201... This OpEd is written to assist them and readers generally, in recognizing moral imperialism and the cognitive dysfunction by decoding the behaviors displayed in their listserves, newsgroups and “Open Letter”. Instead of defamation this “league” could go out and do some concrete work amongst those who perpetrate Israeli oppression instead of collaborating with the oppressors by obstructing the efforts of Gilad Atzmon to address the real needs of the oppressed Arabs being killed, tortured and imprisoned by the Israeli entity and its imperialist allies.

    With forked tongue the Atzmon Defamation League (ADL) claims to be anti-racist while they talk public smack about one of the few people with the courage to tell his experience of being raised within the Jewish state occupying Palestine, Gilad Atzmon. While Atzmon is speaking from personal experience for the liberation of the oppressed Arab people this so called “progressive” group opposes his alternative epistemic voice. The complaint against Atzmon, is that “he is racist”. This accusation is made in the classic tradition of assets of the state, the agent provocateur, and the cultural imperialist who thinks he or she “knows better” than those who actually experience the phenomena itself. Like the white anthropologist observing the native the group represents a privileged group of North American white people who hate and attempt to censor Atzmon’s auto-ethnographic narrative and philosophizing. They say that Atzmon is:

    “Attempting to latch onto the just, vital, and growing movement in support of the Palestinian national liberation struggle” they manage. That “Gilad Atzmon is one of a very small and unrepresentative group of writers who have argued (in agreement with many Zionists) that there is no meaningful distinction to be made between Jews in general and Israeli atrocities.”

    Obama, AIPAC And The Rest of US

    By Gilad Atzmon

    http://www.deliberation.info/

    AIPAC

    Yesterday at AIPAC annual conference, the American president had to go out of his way to appease his Jewish crowd. He used every trick in the book, he even peppered his talk with some Yiddish sporadic words and he did it all just to justify his decision not to launch a World War as yet.

    One should ask, how come a lobby of a small state that practices the most appalling racist expansionist politics and practices has managed to gain so much political power in the USA.

    As it happens, more and more academics and political commentators indeed ask themselves the exact question – they wonder what is it in American culture and political system that allowed it to happen? I am also interested in a very similar quest. I actually try to identify the different elements within Jewish culture and identity politics that have led to the rise of AIAPC into the dominant force within American politics and foreign policy.
