    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

    Sharon the Truth Teller

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Gilad Sharon, son of Ariel Sharon, wrote in the Jerusalem Post that Israel should “Flatten all of Gaza.”

    “There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing. Then they’d really call for a ceasefire,” he wrote. “We need to flatten entire neighbourhoods in Gaza. Flatten all of Gaza. The Americans didn’t stop with Hiroshima – the Japanese weren’t surrendering fast enough, so they hit Nagasaki, too.”

    Many Israelis and even some Zionists are ‘outraged’  but the truth must be told – Sharon’s views are fully consistent with Zionism, Israeli thinking and some aspect of Jewish culture.

    For example, Sharon’s call is fully consistent with some devastating Old Testament’s passages:

    ‘You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.’ Leviticus, 26:7–8

    The Wandering Who by Gilad Atzmon  


    The following is a google translate, hence far from being reliable.

    Israel, a people invented a synecdoche State

    Gauden Sarasola
    A superb and necessary book demystifies some "undeniable truths" about Jewish identity.

    That Forewarned is forearmed, and this is true here twice: on the one hand, the book of Gilad Atzmon (<< >> Identity wandering. Editions and Eastern Mediterranean, 2012) opens with a phrase, due the National Socialist camp survivor Israel Shahak, leaving orientation clearly stated what will come next, << Nazis made me afraid of being Jewish, and the Israelis have made me ashamed to be Jewish >>, focusing further his research in a point-interrogacón that nobody dares to ask: What is a Jew? , And secondly, that the Kid warns tell from the start that this is an important book, do I say important, clearly necessary.

    The author is a noted jazz saxophonist devoted to and from the front pages reveals the essential role played in that activity changes his political positions. If your grandfather was a Jewish fanatic, he inherited some of it in his youth, but the contact with reality, and more specifically his military service coincided with the invasion of Lebanon, and the visit of a crowded field in which the Palestinians, made him realize that he was on the wrong side of the Palestinians and originating in those lands, had been fired and kicked dejándoseles not return to them. From the beginning those who were arriving were guided by the idea that more can capador.

    One way to be diegetic discourse intertwined with explanatory essay, Gilad Atzmon is showing the steps it was taking in its clarification regarding what happened and going over there explaining the facts and realities that made him change his ideas and become in propagandist of Palestinian rights and decided demystifying Zionist fallacies of taking advantage of an alleged insider identity, even by God himself, will allow all types of theft, expulsions, discrimination making use of the weapons of his glorious army of the only armies of the world that has an ethical code << >> (curious ethics, to the extent that instead of looking at the path Kantian universalizable some values ​​are based on discrimination, denial and annihilation of those involving an obstacle in his triumphal march) to claim the promised land << >> by Yahweh and there << mount the only democracy in the Middle East >>, but the thing is not there but the traitor << >> - that of so is considered, saying it is the classic example of the inferiority of some Jews that leads them to self-mortification, reveals the tentacles that Zionism has spread, by powerful lobbies, to monitor the progress of some of the most governments powerful in the world. The U.S. case is shredded using names of successive governments and their advisers (Wolfowitz, Greenspan, etc.) And the finding of his forays into distant countries to (besides boots seize several) to remove dangers to their partners of Israel, become, since its foundation in the area zealous gendarme.

    Operation Security Roof (satire)*

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Following the IDF difficulties in defeating Hamas’s ballistic warfare, the Israeli Government is now searching for contractors with some advanced experience in large scale reinforced concrete constructions. The mission ahead is the building of a solid concrete roof over the entire Jewish State.  PM Netanyahu is determined that the only way to defend Israel’s populated area is to cover the Jewish State with a thick layer of iron and cement.

    The Israeli Government’s decision to build a concrete roof followed a considerable debate within the cabinet. Defence Minister Ehud Barak insisted that a massive extension of the current Security Wall would be enough to provide the goods. Barak maintained that a substantial increase of the wall to the height of 90,000 ft. would be more than sufficient to stop missiles from entering Israeli territory. He sensibly argued that Israeli youngsters would benefit from seeing the blue sky when they raise their eyes above. Prime Minister Netanyahu couldn’t agree less. Being fully aware of the nature of ballistic warfare, the PM contended that the only way to provide the Jewish State with the ultimate security is to cover it from above with a reinforced concrete shield. Israeli President Shimon Peres, the legendary peace enthusiast, offered a compromise inspired by the idea of a trampoline. Peres suggested that a Security Wall’s 90,000 ft. extension made of an elastic net would do the job. The elder statesman argued that an elastic net will guarantee that every Palestinian missile aimed at Israel would bounce back to the Arab territory once it hits the net. Netanyahu and Barak dismissed Peres’s suggestion. They argued that considering the excessive Israeli usage of artillery and missiles against the Gazans, the Jewish State would suffer far more from the erection of such a ‘bouncy net’. “Israel,” said Barak, “would never survive the extent of its own fierce artillery barrages bouncing back on itself.”

    In a press conference following the heated cabinet debate, the Government spokesman Mr Zion Zioni stressed that “following the total success of the Security Wall in stopping Palestinian suicidal terror, ‘Security Roof’ is obviously the natural way to proceed.” Mr Zioni maintained as well that the new Israeli project will turn the Jewish State into a “sealed Jewish Bunker”. “In fact,” Zioni emphasised, “‘Operation Security Roof’ brings the Zionist adventure into its final destination. We are now moving from the ‘Iron Wall’ phase into the ‘Concrete Roof’ future. With a reinforced concrete ceiling from above, a Security Wall in the East and the Mediterranean Sea in the West, the Jewish State will eventually become the safest haven for world Jewry. Herzl’s dream comes true. Long Live Israel!”

    Yet, some technical difficulties lay ahead. Probably the most crucial problem has something to do with breathing. Like the rest of the humankind,  most Israeli people consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Apparently, the Israeli cabinet Ministers were made aware of this very crucial fact by the Health Minister Dr. Herbal Krechtzen. Netanyahu, being a man of action, responded immediately. Already in the cabinet meeting he authorised the Defence Ministry to explore different solutions to the acute biological problem.

    No 1 in Gaza this Week (must watch) 

    Some send messages in bottles; the Gazans send them in rockets.  The message is simple and clear.

 ‘My lands, my soil, don’t lose your hope on us. We are here surrounded by barbed wire, but time will come soon for us to unite.’

    Update: I was notified today that this clip may as well be part of the Israeli Hasbara campaign. I obviously do not posses the time and the energy to investigate it all. However, Israel stole the land, Israelis like humus and Falafel, so they may as well be capable of performing  a proper Palestinian militant debka. I am sure Ali Abu-Regev can improve on that front...

    Gilad Atzmon on Spanish National, Part 2

    Here is the second part of my interview on the Spanish National Radio, the previous interview led to some Israeli Hasbara outrage. Let's see whether they can cope with this one.... We discussed issues to do with ethics, The Spanish Civil War, Jewish interventionist wars and  Neo Conservatism ,  Left barbarism, Enlightenment and 'progressive' genocidal philosophy. I also spoke in support of Iran and its nuclear project.

     I expect Hasbara agents to freak out once  again

    Israel and its widespread propaganda - an interview 

    http://www.infopal.it/gilad-atzmon-israel-and-its-widespread-propaganda/

    Infopal. Interview with the musician and writer Gilad Atzmon.

    (English and Italian version) 

    Angela Lano. In your article “Pillar of Biblical Cloud” you wrote that Israel is trying to win the election in January by presenting a “pile of Palestinian corpses”. Do you think that this new military operation against Gaza has a propaganda” reason?

    Gilad Atzmon: It certainly is there to serve Netanyahu’s and Barak’s personal political interests. I believe that these two warmongers had, initially, a limited military operation in mind, but now it is escalating, and, as in the case of Lebanon 2006, it is pretty much out of control. Due to some obvious state of detachment, Israelis fail to learn from their past.

    AL. Why do the Israeli lawmakers use biblical references for their wars against Gaza?

    GA: Because Israel is the Jewish State, and Biblical rage fuels Zionism and Israeli politics with ’spiritual’ meaning.

    AL: We know that many of them have a secular background.

    GA: Jewish secularism is a funny concept. It is a ‘spiritual-less’, Godless ‘religion’. Secular Jews don’t believe in God but, rather too often, they kill in his name.

    AL. The pro-Palestinian discourse is deeply infiltrated by Zionist elements or groups, even within the second and the third Freedom Flotillas. How do you explain such a phenomenon?

    Crucial Update: Netanyahu Says No to Ground Operation

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Ynet reported a few hours ago that Netanyahu gave private assurances to US President Obama that Israel is not planning a ground operation in Gaza yet.

    "According to two American officials who were briefed on the phone conversation between Netanyahu and Obama, the PM said Israel  would not consider a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza unless there was escalation from Hamas or an attack that caused significant casualties."

    The verdict is clear, PM Netanyahu tries to avoid his predecessors’ mistakes. But can he? The Israelis want to see blood, they are desperate for a victory, they want to see Gaza and the Hamas wiped out.

    From Stalingrad to Gaza with Love 

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Benjamin Netanyahu, is made of different material than Barak.  Unlike Bark, who is obsessed with the banal implementation of military power, Netanyahu is concerned with  the power of deterrence and he is also intelligent enough to realise that the consequences of a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip may mean the total eradication of such a power. A large scale deployment of infantry is a complicated thing. It would lead to violent clashing with hostile civilians in a heavily populated urban territory, endless cases of inevitable war crimes and crimes against humanity, international condemnation, unavoidable conflict with Israeli allies and so on.  Also, such an escalation will prove, once again how resilient the Palestinian society is, as opposed to the vulnerable Israeli people.  Let me tell you, this is not what Netanyahu had in mind two weeks ago when he decided to slaughter just a few Palestinians in order to win the next Israeli election.

    Netanyahu prefers to kill Palestinians from afar, to missile them from Israeli Navy battle ships, drones and F16s. Israel had initially a limited operative plan ahead of Operation Pillar of Cloud.  But, it didn’t take more than a few hours for Israeli generals to realise that they were ambushed by the Hamas. Like Lebanon 2006, Israel was far from being ready for this conflict. It failed to realised that the Hamas has been preparing itself for this battle. Earlier on today, I saw on BBC News, a  Palestinian flag waving on top of a wreckage of house in Gaza that was flattened by Israel during the night. The message was clear: Hamas is ready to make Gaza into Stalingrad.  The Israeli generals realise it, some of them are clever enough to grasp the fate of their soldiers if they decide to move in. They are not prepared to be Netanyahu’s ‘6th Army’

    Caricature Chief Rabbi Sacks Caught off Guard

    undefined

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks was caught off guard during a Radio 4 interview this morning when he accused Iran of being part of the Gaza conflict.

    Appearing on the Today programme broadcast he was asked by presenter Evans Davis for his reaction to the situation in Gaza immediately after delivering the daily peaceful ‘Thought for the Day’.

    He initially responded: 'I think it's got to do with Iran, actually.' Rabbi Sacks clearly spoke his mind.

    But when the Rabbi was told he was live on air, he quickly changed his spots and  responded by making a plea for peace saying: "A continued prayer for peace is needed, not only in Gaza but the whole region.'
