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

The 50 Most Influential Jews – Not a single humanist on the list  

By Gilad Atzmon

Yesterday The Jerusalem Post published its “list of the world’s 50 most influential Jews,” those who in one way or another have “worked tirelessly for the improvement of humanity and, in doing so, have made their mark on history.”

The truth is that the list does not exactly fit the Post’s description of it. Not a single humanist is listed; instead we find a catalogue of Jewish war criminals, financiers, gambling tycoons, ethnic cleanser advocates, a Holocaust fraudster, a few Rabbis with minimal importance even within the Jewish world and one Ethiopian entertainer.

I guess that for those who are still desperate to find a Jewish humanist, Masada 2000’s S.H.I.T List is the place to find them.

The J Post’s list is headed by US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, “who in his position in the cabinet is vital to shaping President Barack Obama’s policy.” Lew is followed by Janet Yellen, “another American Jew who made history this year when she became the first woman ever appointed chair of the Federal Reserve.” Apparently the 1st and 2nd ‘most influential Jews in the world’ are now taking care of American finance. Let’s hope that these ‘influential Jews’ know what they are doing because the last two influential Jews who ran the Federal Reserve left the world’s economy in ruin.

A Diplomatic Defeat to Israel and the Jewish Lobby

Is Jewish power falling apart?

Haaretz reported yesterday that  India, China and Turkey called on the international community to throw its support behind the new Palestinian government. Russia followed suit several hours later. European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton also issued a statement calling the formation of the unity government "an important step" the process of Palestinian reconciliation.

Ashton said: "we welcome the appointment of a government of independent personalities and the declaration by President Abbas that this new government is committed to the principle of the two state solution based on the 1967 borders, to the recognition of Israel's legitimate right to exist, to non-violence and to the respect of previous agreements," the statement read. "The EU's engagement with the new Palestinian government will be based on its adherence to these policies and commitments."

Press TV Correspondent Threatened by JDL 

Press TV correspondent Joshua Blakeney was interviewed about an unpleasant email he had received from the Jewish Defence League. The JDL was described by the FBI as a "violent extremist organization" in a report entitled "Terrorism 200/2001". Blakeney vowed to continue "soldiering on" in his struggle to expose the pro-Zionist falsehoods of the political and journalistic establishment.

Soral, Dieudonné and Atzmon 

http://www.egaliteetreconciliation.fr/

Alimuddin Usmani interviews Gilad Atzmon

Alimuddin Usmani: Despite its portrayal as racist and anti-Semitic by some French politicians and the mainstream media your Lyon conference with Alain Soral on May 26th was a huge success. Six hundred peaceful people attended the event.  Tell us something about your impressions of this gathering.

Gilad Atzmon: Most of all, I was overwhelmed by the demography in the room. As I mentioned that evening, I have never witnessed such a diverse crowd. I guess that 30% of the people in the room were immigrants who see Soral and Egalitarian Reconciliation as the path to true Frenchness. So while the Left talks about ‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance,’ in spite of being  predominantly white and totally detached from the lower classes.  In the real world, it is Soral who is able to translate diversity into a popular awareness on both social and political level. 

This leads me to reflect again on the distinction between dwelling and settlement. To dwell is to love your soil, to adore the sky above it and to cherish your culture with patriotic zeal. To settle, on the other hand, is to occupy a space, to consume, to take, but never to give back.  The people whom we met at the conference were clearly dwellers. Many of them are immigrants, yet they are French patriots. The notion of a settler is descriptive of the Jewish wandering attitude. It explains why the Jewish State is an ecological disaster, why its rivers are poisonous, and it also explains why Diaspora Jews are so often attached to the Zionist dream and the ‘promised land’ instead of loving their neighbors wherever they are.  Were the Zionist Jews dwelling in France, Britain or USA, they wouldn’t need the dream of returning to a phantasmic promised land.  Were the Jewish anti Zionists dwellers (as opposed to settlers), they would fight Zion within a universal campaign instead of from Jews-only political cells that are as racially exclusive as the Jewish State.

I was truly inspired by Alain Soral, by his undeniable charisma, but also by his political message and superb analysis.  It is rare to have the capacity to engage in a proper and lengthy intellectual exchange with a large crowd. Soral and I are progressing in parallel modes, we reach the same conclusions through totally different approaches. Very interesting indeed.  

Alimuddin Usmani: On May 27 you performed a jazz concert with Dieudonné at Théâtre de la main d'or. Was he flattered by the comparison you made between him and the Christ?http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1uwhe4_gilad-atzmon-et-la-quenelle-de-dieudonne_webcam#from=embediframe

Gilad Atzmon: To start, let me say it was one the most exciting nights in my entire career. The place is a shrine to goodness and humanity. The positive and sincere vibration is something you detect as you enter the building, it is all-encompassing. Dieudonné  himself is a force of nature. I am not surprised that the Jewish ethnic campaigners and their subservient ‘Socialist’ Government are tormented by this man – he is genuine – he is bonded with existence and connected with the people. Dieudonné  possesses all of the Athenian qualities the Jerusalemites lack. He is not just Christ, he embodies the meaning of Christ, by means of laughter he transcends himself far beyond his plight.  

By the way, I believe that the most interesting aspect of the parallels between Dieudonné and Christ is the similarity in  ‘Christ killers,’ those who are united against goodness, truth and against universal and human brotherhood. The term ‘Christ killers’ also refers to the tactics employed in the crucifixion, the role of the Sabbos Goy, the Pontius Pilates of our time, who kill on behalf of others.
