The Atzmon Defamation League (ADL)

By Gilad Atzmon

At the bottom of that page you will find the current and most updated list of individuals who believe that the Palestinian solidarity movement should operate as a Stalinist synagogue.  The Atzmon Defamation League is a list of a few Tribal Marxists and one angry Arab collaborator who added their name to an open declaration. They all agree that Atzmon should be silenced.

Amidst the success of my latest book The Wandering Who and my current USA coast to coast tour, the Atzmon Defamation league is in a state of a panic. They have a good reason: my very simple message spreads very fast, and it questions — If Israel defines itself as the Jewish State and its tanks are decorated with Jewish symbols, then aren’t we entitled to ask who are the Jews? What is Judaism? What is Jewishness? And what are the relationships between those three?

So far, my American tour seems to progress very well. My very experienced tour manager insists that it is actually a breakthrough. In spite of the Zionist and the Anti Zionist Zionists’ (AZZ) relentless campaign against me, I give a talk every night, I give three to five interviews a day (radio and TV), I meet the most wonderful people on this planet, I speak about Jazz, Jewishness and apartheid, and I explore the true meaning of the Jewish State and its lobbies around the world.

Jazz musician and writer Gilad Atzmon played an energetic and exciting concert in Tuesday night’s performance in Morgan Auditorium.

The night started off with an introduction by professor of English William Cook where he described Atzmon as a rare person whose mind never stops working, along with reading an excerpt from Atzmon’s most recent book “The Wandering Who.”

As Atzmon walked on stage to greet the audience he began by giving a small description of his Middle Eastern inspired music.

He then followed it with a small demonstration of what the difference is between the styles and types of jazz.

“When it comes to Arabic on a saxophone it is basically a nightmare, the notes linger on for days just oscillating,” Atzmon said.

Atzmon said he fell in love with the sound of jazz at age 17 and believed he would be able to attract girls’ attention with his sax.

Since Atzmon could not read music he took up the saxophone because he said it is an instrument that is more about feeling the music rather than reading it.

“The biggest problem we have in our liberal technological society is that we are not listening, we are deaf to the pain of other people,” Atzmon said.

The Angry (Arab) Collaborator

As’ad AbuKhalil aka the Angry Arab @angryarabnews

As’ad AbuKhalil has now completed his transformation into a honorary Sabbath Goy. [1]

The ‘angry’ man has finally joined the Anti Zionist Zionists (AZZ) and like his Jewish Marxists allies, he insists upon my rejection from the Palestinian solidarity movement. For him, I am not Kosher enough.

I must say though that judging by the level of circulation of my writing and my latest book The Wandering Who, it seems as if my views are actually far more popular than angry AbuKalil and his AZZ comrades put together. Also my current coast to coast American tour is supported by the leading Palestinian solidarity organisations in this country such as The Washington Report, The Global March to Jerusalem, One Democratic State (Texas), Students for Justice in Palestine, Deir Yassin Remembered and many more.

As if this is not enough, my latest book is endorsed by the greatest intellectuals and humanist in this movement, isn’t this enough to make me into a kosher candidate? And if not what else do I need to prove my? Do I also need a Jewish Marxist Advocate?

Talk review by Tom Mayer

GA: An interesting review of my yesterday's talk at CU Bouldr. Tom Mayer offers an interpretation of my work from an American Jewish secular perspective.   

Tom Mayer's comment:
The talk by ex-Israeli jazz musician and cultural critic Gilad Atzmon was ewas highly biographical, punctuated by brief saxophone solos, and not particularly systematic.  Gilad's talk was, however, studded with telling if controversial insights about Israel and Jews.

Gilad has been accused by some of antisemitism, and listening to his talk I tried to divine why such charges might be made.  Of course I am entirely aware of the cynical and dishonest use of antisemitism accusations to discredit critics of Israeli oppression.  Indeed, I have often been accused of being a self-hating Jew.

Gilad strongly criticizes Jewishness and the Jewish state.  His criticism, however, does not derive from hatred for Jews or a desire to end Jewish presence in the Middle East.  His criticism is rather a lament for deep self-destructiveness that he detects in Jewish and Israeli culture, and a forlorn effort to stimulate change before catastrophe strikes.
