    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

    Islamophobs Are Upset: Spanish press praises Gilad Atzmon

    Introduction by GA: The Islamophobic  Harry's Place are upset today. They just don't know how to silence me and my book, even Ali Abunimah didn't help much. With 10 new editions of The Wandering Who coming out, they have a good reason to be concerened.  

    I guess that my followers will enjoy reviewing the following Zionist Tantrum. I also hope that sooner or later,  Harry's Place find the courage to debate me publicly - I guess that first they will have to learn to tell the truth. More precisely, I am still waiting for Harry Place and their AZZ friends to come up with a single quote of me referring critically to Jews as a 'race', 'people' or 'ethnicity'.

    The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics, Jewish political interest, and the role of the Harry's Places around.

    Spanish press praises Gilad Atzmon the “agitator of consciences”

    http://hurryupharry.org/

    Gilad Atzmon claims that Fagin and Shylock accurately represent Jewish identity, the credit crunch was caused by the Jews, the Holocaust is a religion, and Hitler may be proved right about the Jews.

    He criticises “Jewish politics”, claiming that a “Zio-Punch” causing the credit crunch, and that the Jewish lobby in Germany provoked the Nazis into fighting back, by boycotting Nazis.

    At a recent jazz show, he “joked” that throwing the Jews into the sea, would be unfair on the sea.

    At his jazz show in Madrid, he promoted his book The Wandering Who, in which he makes many of these racist claims:

    “I was a supremacist, tribalist Jew, I was living like a colonialist, I was eating their food, I was eating hummus I was eating falafel, and I managed to dismiss their sound. The people who made this hummus and falafel. And through the saxophone – it took me 30 years – I understood how wrong I was. And if you believe me, you better buy the book.”

    Atzmon here combines his jazz with his antisemitism. The mainstream centre-left newspaper El Pais are happy to assist Atzmon in this, publishing two articles about him. One article states:

    Given the complexitity of the artist and writer of Israeli origin, who considers himself to be an ex-Jew, you can find an idea connected with the concerts of Ian Dury’s Blockheads; an idea which Atzmon intends to share this weekend in the UK, where he usually lives.

    The presentation of [Atzmon's] new book in Valencia, published in Spain as The Wandering Identity, was accompanied in Great Britain by such a great controversy, that it seemed as if it would spoil the publication of the book. The launch will take place in the Cosecha Roja bookshop on Seville Street, as an appetizer for the second concert of the Festival of Contemporary Jazz, hosted by the Jimmy Glass Club. A similar such challenge is expected to emerge, given that it’s now the second edition [of the book].

    Elie Wiesel On Haaretz

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Elie Wiesel , the world's most famous Holocaust survivor, the man who turned the Holocaust into a business career gave this week an interview to Haaretz.
     
     This kosher ‘humanist’ whose interest in pain is confined to ‘one people only’ stated that he hopes that “the Mossad, which caught a man like Eichmann, will be able to catch Ahmadinejad and get him tried in an international court.”
     
    This Zionist Elder must have forgotten that Eichmann wasn’t tried in an international court, he was actually sentenced to death by an Israeli court. And while Ahmadinejad travels freely around the world, it is Israeli mass murderers and war criminals who have to think twice before embarking on an international flight.

    In the entire interview, neither Haaretz nor Wiesel referred to the Palestinian holocaust. Seemingly, both the Jewish media outlet and the Shoa merchant are concerned only with the suffering of one people.

    Elie Wiesel, may be one of the  strongest examples of the banality of Zionist mind. He is concerned only with the primacy of Jewish suffering and has totally failed to transform the Holocaust into a universal message.
    Wiesel is critical of Germany, German people and their culture. “We must not forget what civilized people once did. People raised on Kant, Fichte and Hegel. People who listened to Beethoven and read Schiller in the morning, and in the afternoon killed children and parents."

    Sabbath Goy MP Denis MacShane Resigned

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Seemingly, the list of Zionist swindlers never stops expanding.  The shameless Labour MP Denis MacShane who made a political career chasing and harassing the critics of Jewish Power and Israel has resigned from Parliament  yesterday after being found guilty by the Parliamentary standards committee. The Zionist stooge who was also the chair of the all-party Parliamentary inquiry into antisemitism was falsifying his expenses -the Parliamentary committee found he had submitted no less than 19 false invoices which were "plainly intended to deceive" Parliament's expenses authority.

     MacShane was amongst the leading voices within the rabid Zionist Labour Friend of Israel lobby group. I can only hope, that the corrupted Labour MP has enough integrity in his system to admit that opposition to Israel and Jewish Power is far for being racist. It is actually driven by an ethical attempt to clean our public life of people of his ilk. We want our politicians and political life to be liberated of Zionist power. We want our parties to be free of their MacShanes.

    The following is a very rough Google Translation:

    It is not normal for a writer who is here to discuss his book to end the night playing saxophone in a jazz club. But Gilad Atzmon is well, musician, philosophy professor on leave, shaker of consciences and ex-judío ex-israelí came to Madrid yesterday to present his new book, The Wandering Who and incidentally, to account for his condition with years of solvency jazzman: I am what I am thanks to jazz. His first performance of the two that has been scheduled last night at the Jazz Bogey: At 17 I bought a disc of Charlie Parker. When I saw his picture I could not believe. He firmly believed that all good is from the Jews.

    The Conspiracy Review on The Wandering Who? 

    I have to be honest and say that I was not expecting much from this book. However, I was wrong. The overwhelming and mind-blowing semi-autobiographical story that underpins the publication is fascinating, and the truth contained in the chapters speaks volumes.  From cover to cover, it is only around 200 pages, it's well written, informative and well edited. 

    For those people who have never researched the conflict in Israel and Palestine, this book could really change your world view. For the people already awakened to the truth - this will confirm everything you though you knew.

    Gilad Atzmon on Kevin Barrett's Truth Jihad Radio (very interesting) 

    Mon.  10/29/12, 3-5 pm Central, American Freedom Radio 

    http://truthjihadradio.blogspot.co.uk

    We explored issues to do with  Mondweiss, Ali Abunimah, Jewish tribalism, Palestinian Diaspora Politics, Holocaust, 911 and more...

    Listen to the program:


    First hour: Gilad Atzmon, the acclaimed Israeli-born British saxophonist, is one of the world's notable jazz musicians. His new book The Wandering Who? has provoked a mega-storm of praise and outrage, and become an underground best-seller. BG (before Gilad), anyone who suggested that the genocidal excesses of Zionism - and I would include 9/11 in that category - were inexorably linked to certain aspects of Jewish culture, was automatically assumed to be a benighted anti-Semite. Then Gilad Atzmon thoughtfully and passionately opened the door to reasoned discussion of this issue...and the rest is history.

    The recent flap over Free Gaza activist Greta Berlin's alleged "anti-Semitic tweet" is just the latest outburst of anti-Gilad hysteria. See my article Mind-Controllers Chant "Anti-Semite" to Prevent ThoughtCrime.

    British Ex-Envoy Told The Truth (for a change)

    By Gilad Atzmon

    Peter Jenkins, Britain’s former representative on the International Atomic Energy Agency, has told the debating union at Warwick University that a ‘just war’ is not a Jewish notion. Jenkins was obviously telling the truth but the Zionist Jewish Chronicle is not happy.

    The retired Foreign Office diplomat, speaking in a  debate on nuclear proliferation in Iran, said: “Israelis don’t practise an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, they practise ten eyes for an eye and ten teeth for a tooth.” He also added that  “the idea that a just war requires the use of force to be proportionate seems to be a Christian notion and not a Jewish notion.”

    The JC reported this week that the remark prompted the Zionist Federation opposition speaker Jonathan Sacerdoti to call out “shame”.

    Sacerdoti  spoke to the audience in a capacity of "a son of a Holocaust survivor", he said “I suggest that the speech that we heard first, laced with its subtle attempts at antisemitism, masked behind polite diplomatic chatter is exactly the problem in this debate… this is not a Jewish issue, this is not an Israel issue, this is a worldwide issue.” I actually agree with Sacerdoti -Zionist madness is the biggest threat to world peace. it is not just a Jewish issue, it is not an Israel issue, it is a worldwide issue, it is a universal concern.

    El Pais- Polémico libro de músico exjudío antes de festival de jazz

    I am launching The Wandering Who in Spanish this week, a lot of activity, concerts and talks.

    Here are a few articles.

    Gilad Atzmon seguirá al guitarrista Jonathan Kreisberg en el certamen de artistas contemporáneos del Jimmy Glass

    http://ccaa.elpais.com/ccaa/2012/10/22/valencia/1350924679_236031.html

    Menos bromas con el estereotipo del judío errante. El saxofonista o, mejor, multiinstrumentista Gilad Atzmon pone en cuestión la expresión desde el mismo título de su último libro: The wandering who? para aclarar de qué va su tercer ensayo en el subtítulo: A study of jewish indetity politics. O La identidad judía a examen, en la edición española que el propio autor presentará el próximo día 30, en Valencia, y los días 31 y 1 de noviembre en Madrid, junto a dos actuaciones que tendrán lugar en el Jimmy Glass y en el Bogui Jazz, respectivamente. De la complejidad del artista y escritor de origen israelí, que a sí mismo se considera un exjudío, se puede extraer una idea al enlazar todo eso con los conciertos de los Blockheads de Ian Dury que tenía previsto compartir este fin de semana en el Reino Unido, donde reside habitualmente.

    La presentación del nuevo libro en Valencia, editado en España como La identidad errante y precedido en Gran Bretaña de una polémica tal que, al parecer, estuvo a punto de dar al traste con su publicación, tendrá lugar en la librería Cosecha Roja de la calle Sevilla, como aperitivo del segundo concierto del Festival de Jazz Contemporáneo que programa el Jimmy Glass Club del barrio del Carmen, en lo que supone un repetido desafío a la crisis ya que es la segunda edición. El festival arrancará seis días antes, es decir el miércoles próximo, con la actuación del guitarrista Jonathan Kreisberg, estrella de la escena neoyorquina que abarca con naturalidad un amplio abanico que va desde las influencias iniciales de Robert Fripp a la deriva tradicionalista de un álbum como Night songs.

    Se trata de un cartel en el que los acompañantes son en algunos casos, tan relevantes como los cabezas de lista. Es el caso del saxo alto Wil Vinson, que participó en el  álbum más significativo de Kreisberg , The South of Everywhere y sigue a su lado ahora; del batería Francisco Mela, que llega a este festival en el trío encabezado por la saxofonista Melissa  Aldana, pero ha formado parte del grupo de Joe Lovano y ha tocado con estrellas como McCoy Tyner y Kenny Barron; o el saxofonista Stacy Dillard, que acude en el cuarteto del guitarrista Greg Diamond, la propuesta más latina del certamen.

    Por no hablar de las formaciones en que los músicos se hablan de tú a tú, como es el caso del cuarteto reunido para el 19 de noviembre, en el que Perico Sambeat, Albert Sanz y Javier Colina se olvidan de sus propios proyectos para unirse al que fuera batería de Miles Davis, Al foster, y ofrecer una especial noche (Valencia Moon, ha sido bautizada) dedicada a darle una vuelta de tuerca a algunos estándares del hard bop .La representación española juega al máximo nivel, completada por el saxofonista y flautista Jorge Pardo, que presentará formalmente en Valencia el disco Huellas, última y brillante destilación de su combinado de flamenco y jazz.

    El guitarrista Josemi Carmona, miembro de Ketama e hijo de Pepe el Habichuela, forma parte del sexteto que acompaña a Jorge Pardo para la presentación de este doble CD y el que como novedad se incorpora el trompetista valenciano Voro García.

    Mención aparte merece el saxofonista bostoniano Jerry Bergonzi, que  vuelve al Jimmy para poner alto el listón del festival,  apoyado en su habitual rítmica, integrada por músicos que son figuras por derecho propio, a sabe: Dave Santoro, Andrea Michelutti y Carl Winter.  Completan el programa dos conciertos off festival, es decir, fuera de las tarifas del certamen, que son el protagonizado por la cantante Ganavya Doraiswami, al frente de un trío de jazz indio, y el del trío liderdo por el pianista valenciano Alberto Palau. Tanto Jeremy Pelt, como Gilad Atzmon y Greg Diamond actuan por primera vez en Valencia.

     

    Gilad Atzmon, una identidad errante

    El escritor y saxofonista, que se identifica a sí mismo como exjudío, estará en España la próxima semana para presentar la traducción al español de su último libro, The Wandering Who?: aprovecha la ocasión para ofrecer tres noches de conciertos entre Valencia y Madrid.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    El tercer trabajo de Gilad Atzmon como escritor, el primero publicado en España, está editado por Ediciones de Oriente y del Mediterráneo (Madrid) bajo el título La identidad errante (La identidad judía a examen), un ensayo que Gilad comienza con la frase del político liberal Israel Shahak, nacido en Polonia y sobreviviente del Holocausto: “Los nazis me hicieron tener miedo de ser judío y los israelíes me hacen tener vergüenza de ser judío”.

    Gilad se expresa casi en igualdad a través de la música y la palabra: una y otra están cargadas de experiencias vividas en primera persona. Su defensa de la causa Palestina no es la de un activista de salón sino la de alguien que conoce a la perfección la realidad de uno y otro lado del muro. Por tanto su música no puede dejar de estar impregnada de ello.

    Arch Paedophile Jimmy Savile was a devout Zionist and an Israel supporter

    It is far from being a big surprise that Jimmy Savile, a 'predatory sex offender', found many friends amongst Zionists and Israeli leaders. Just a year ago, the UK Jewish Chronicle saw him as a dear friend of the Jewish people and their State.

    Interestingly enough, JC's  Jessica Elgot who wrote the following piece prefers  Zionist paedophile Savile over truth tellers such as prof' John Mersheimer or myself*.

    Jimmy Savile came to my batmitzvah

    With the Bridge in Britain friends in Tel Aviv in 1975; John Levy is far right

    With the Bridge in Britain friends in Tel Aviv in 1975; John Levy is far right

    He claimed to have "invented the disco", but Sir Jimmy Savile, the DJ and presenter who died last weekend, also claimed to have done his bit towards peace in the Middle East.

    Sir Jimmy always said he had berated the Israeli Cabinet in 1975 for being too soft after the Six Day War.

    The bling-loving Leeds-born presenter of Jim'll Fix It and Top of the Pops, who once described himself as "the most Jewish Catholic you will ever meet," was a strong supporter of Israel and through fun runs, marathons and personal appearances, raised funds for many charities including WIZO, Ravenswood, and the British Friends of the Laniado Hospital in Netanya.

    His ten-day visit to Israel in 1975, when he met President Ephraim Katzir and Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek, was organised by John Levy of the Friends of Israel Educational Trust.

    The trip was filmed for the BBC's Jim'll Fix It after nine-year-old Gary Merrie from Liverpool asked "to see the land where Jesus was born."

    Sir Jimmy recalled his advice to the Israelis: "I arrived at this reception. The president came to me and asked how I was enjoying my visit.I said I was very disappointed: the Israelis had won the Six Day War but they had given back all the land, including the only oil well in the region, and were now paying the Egyptians more for oil than if they had bought it from Saudi Arabia.

    "I said: 'You have forgotten to be Jewish'. He said: 'Would you like to tell my cabinet that?' Next morning, I went to the Knesset; they interrupted a cabinet meeting and I told them the same as I had told him."

    Mr Levy recalled: "He was a gorgeous, impish, creative character. Of course, he was an egomaniac, but he was incredibly generous. He wanted to film us walking from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, so there are these scenes trudging the Judean Hills. He had many close Jewish friends, he was a real philosemite. When we returned, I asked him to be a 'Friend' of the Trust and he insisted that I listed him as 'Special Friend'."
