Gilad Atzmon: Jews, Jazz & Socialism

How would you feel about a Radio show specialising in Aryan classical music? How would you feel about a radio show that features mainly, or only Aryan composers and performers? I guess that I know the answer: you would feel disturbed, and you may even want to protest. However, Mike Gerber, a writer for the ‘Jewish Socialist Magazine’ and a member of the ‘Jewish Socialist Group’ has a very similar agenda -- he is about to launch a ‘Jews only’ jazz radio show. Here is an extract from his press release, which he circulated this morning:   “I'm Mike Gerber, author of the book “Jazz Jews”, as a result of which I've been asked to host a regular Jazz Jews show on the internet station UK Jazz Radio.……  My Jazz Jews show will feature: Jewish/jazz fusions of every kind; rootsy Jewish music such as klezmer; Israeli jazz; and there will also be a focus on Jewish Great American Songbook composers. I will play tracks by some of the many Jewish musicians who have contributed to jazz more generally...” I assume that we wouldn’t accept an Aryan classical music radio show, yet a ‘Jewish Jazz show’ must be somehow kosher. At least kosher enough for www.jazzradio.com to host it. I met Mike Gerber ten years ago. He came to my house to interview me about Jews and Jazz.  He sat with me for many hours, desperately trying to squeeze out of me an insight into the inherent bond between Jazz and Jews

Anthony Lawson: 9/11: The Unidentified Murder Weapons

A Letter from Daniel McGowan (DYR) to Abraham Foxman (ADL)

• October 19, 2010

Mr. Abraham Foxman

Dear Mr. Foxman:

We were quite disappointed to have not qualified for your so-called Top Ten Anti-Israel Groups in America

Surely our annual commemorations since 1995 of the Deir Yassin massacre by Jewish terrorists on April 9, 1948 should have warranted inclusion in your top ten.  Some of our commemorations have even taken place at Deir Yassin in clear sight of the Children’s Museum at Yad Vashem.  You may like to review footage of one of them at http://video.google.com

Gilad Atzmon: From Rabbi Yosef to Marx

In case the Goyim cannot find a purpose in their life, Israeli senior Sephardi Rabbi Ovadia Yosef is there to help them out.  In his Saturday sermon  Rabbi Yosef revealed that the sole purpose of Gentiles is to serve Jews.
“Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world.”  The Rabbi was also kind enough to provide the Goyim with some precise tasks. “Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat.
That is why gentiles were created.”

I guess that it is about time the friends of Israel in Western politics started to fully comprehend their role in our Judified universe -- AIPAC and the Conservatives’ Friends of Israel do indeed, have a crucial function : They are there to ‘help’ our politicians grasp why they ‘were created’.

Rainlore Music: Jazza Festival Turns Into Musical Event Of The Year

If you missed the Jazza Music Festival on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th October, you just missed what turned into the most exciting musical event of 2010 in London.

The two day Jazza Festival's aim was to raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinian people, and particularly so in Gaza, and hopefully to raise funds for humanitarian causes. In the just under four hours of the show each night, this was undertaken with barely a hint of rhetoric but rather, through an incredibly varied programme of music and through the often tender, sometimes sad, occasionally anguished and even angry, often joyful, sometimes humourous, emotions purveyed by the music, and above all its genuine compassion.
