Angry Sabboth Goy

By Gilad Atzmon

Angry Sabboth Goy AKA Angry Arab stated today that Dieudonne is an anti-Semite and should be rejected from the pro-Palestinian community. "The French branch of the Palestine solidarity committee was right in categorically rejecting Dieudonne and his antics. He does not belong to our camps. All anti-Semitic haters and racists should be excluded from the pro-Palestine struggle. The Palestinian cause is too precious and noble."

Once again, the angry man who saturates his rant with racial references to black vs. white decided to join forces with the Zionist Jewish Lobby in its campaign against freedom of speech. This time he actually chases a Black comedian that.

BBC News Night on Dieudonné & The Quenelle

Jew-Count - Daily Report

Report by Gilad Atznon

Haaretz reveals today that the “number of Jewish lawmakers worldwide reaches record high”

Tuesday's U.S. elections brought the number of Jewish parliamentarians worldwide to an all-time high, according to the International Council of Jewish Parliamentarians.

Following yesterday's results, the number of Jews in the Senate rose from 11 to 13 and in the House of Representatives from 26 to 30. However, the United States is still only in third place worldwide for the number of Jewish legislators, after Israel and Britain.

Haaretz continues, “despite having a Jewish community 20 times smaller than that of the United States,”  59 British MPs are Jewish: 18 in the House of Commons and 41 in the House of Lords.

The French Palestinian Solidarity Deserves a Quenelle!

By Ariadna Theokopoulos

France is the middle of a sweeping popular movement sparked by Dieudonné and symbolized by la Quennelle, a movement that has united young and old, white and black, men and women, the middle class and the unemployed, extreme Left, center and Right, Christians and Muslims and even a few Jews.

It is an anti-establishment revolt but also one specifically directed at the Jewish power that rules the French establishment and has destroyed individual freedoms long cherished by the French, like freedom of speech. The French appear to have had enough of forced indoctrination into the worship of the Holocaust (a topic Dieudonné has dared to ridicule in his comedy sketches), of laws throwing historians in prison for daring to question the official Holocaust narrative, of the foreign policy of France being conducted according to the dictates of CRIF (the French equivalent of AIPAC).

Gilad Atzmon on Dieudonné and the Quenelle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpbI-Z2anlw

If the quenelle is loosely defined as an anti establishment salute,  one may wonder why Jews are offended by it and regard it as an ‘anti-Semitic’ gesture?  Is it because many Jews actually identify with ‘the establishment’? And how do we explain the fact that the French government is happy to compromise the most elementary liberties just to appease the French Jewish Lobby (Crif)?

The truth is devastating - Palestine is here and the French people are the Palestinians Du Jour...

The Guardian Laments Sharon

By Gilad Atzmon

In a uniquely dishonest piece, The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland paid a tribute today to Israel’s veteran PM Ariel Sharon.

According to Freedland, Sharon, “as one of Israel's founders… had the credibility to give up occupied territory – and even to face the demons of 1948”. Freedland speculates also that “Sharon's final mission might well have been peace.” This is indeed a big statement, but how does Freedland support his creative historical account?

“Sharon's final act” says Freedland,  “was to dismantle some of the very settlements he had sponsored. In 2005 he ordered Israel's disengagement from Gaza, seized in the 1967 war in which Sharon had been a crucial, if maverick, commander.”

Let alone the fact that Freedland comes short of reminding his readers about Sharon’s colossal war crimes, he actually completely distorts the political narrative that led Sharon to the 2005 unilateral disengagement. 

Did Sharon have a plan to reconcile with the Palestinians and to address their plight or their right to return to their land? Not at all, we do not have any evidence of Sharon’s remorse.  The logic behind Sharon’s disengagement is simple on the verge of banal. Sharon knew very well that if Israel insisted to maintain itself as the ‘Jewish State’, it would have to rid itself immediately of Arabs. Late Sharon was becoming aware of the possible implications of the ‘Palestinian demographic bomb’.  The Palestinians were becoming a majority in areas controlled by Israel.
