    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 Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion (Verse 2) by Gilad Atzmon

    July 2002

    In the last weeks there have been some very serious rumours, probably originated in Israel, claiming that G. Bush's latest speech concerning the need for 'Palestinian reforms' was sent to Jerusalem for final proofing and corrections not less than twenty eight times. Whether this is the case, whether it was twenty-eight times or just seven, whether it was physically corrected in Jerusalem or just followed some guidelines that were drawn by the Jewish lobby in Washington, is not the real issue anymore. It is more than clear that the American administration is completely biased when it comes to the Israeli- Arab conflict. This very one-sided approach should be scrutinised.

    These days when American policy makers endorse far right nationalistic views, the US administration reveals itself voluntarily as a major enemy of world peace, and the American president is searching desperately for new allies to form a coalition to support his phony 'war against terror', it is hardly surprising to discover that the Jewish state and Zionists lobbies are fairly active behind the scenes. It all makes far more sense when you find out that America's current divorce from humanism is closely associated with Israeli interests. A brief study of the history of Israel will reveal that from its very early days Zionism specialised in tracing dark political motivations and interests in order to abuse them to the very limit. Zionism is a very singular political method aimed at perfecting the transformation of world disasters and human pain into Jewish gain.

    On Blindness by gilad atzmon

     

    Today, knowing that the vast majority of Israelis support the ethnic
    cleansing of the Palestinian population; that most Israelis support
    Sharon's latest genocide of innocent Palestinians; that the "Jewish
    state" is the first "democracy" to conduct an ethnic cleansing within
    its borders; that 100,000 French Jews have gone out into the streets of
    Paris to show their support for Sharon, we should ask ourselves what is
    Zionism? What is modern Judaism is all about?

    The Devil Sings Again By Gilad Atzmon

     

    It was at the beginning of last week. I returned home early enough to watch the BBC News at Ten. I placed myself in my TV couch and prepared myself for the usual, boring broadcast. My interest waxes and wanes. Another privatization, the Queen Mother, foreign affairs. In short, nothing to write home about. As a matter of fact, I love boring news; it justifies my emigration to Britain. The news starts: "Two Palestinian children were killed today by a missile fired from an Israeli helicopter". Within seconds my TV screen is filled with the familiar images of the landscape of my homeland. Yellowish sandstone mountains dotted with olive trees, a calm Arab town visible in the valley below. Suddenly the camera points up to the sky and searches for something. It captures two Israeli Cobra helicopters high up in the blue. A sudden cut and we are taken back to the ground. The camera zooms into the town where dozens of Palestinians are running for their lives desperately trying to escape. They fail to understand that by running they become a target. The camera pans up to the sky and captures the two helicopters again. It looks as if one of the helicopters fires a missile and the camera follows its track. An explosion is seen. The missile has arrived at its destination, a crowded traffic jam in the centre of a highly populated Palestinian city. We learn from the BBC reporter that the missiles were aimed at a Hamas militant leader. According to the Israelis, he has 'fresh blood on his hands'. At the time of the strike, the Hamas man was trapped in his car. Apparently, he was only lightly injured but two children who were travelling with their father in the car behind were blown to pieces. The father was lucky. He just lost his legs.

    The end of innocence by Gilad Atzmon

     September 2001

    In the light of the tragedy and the devastating images from N.Y City, in the shadow of embarrassingly stupid remarks made by the major western 'free world' leaders and in the light of the call for a western gihad against a faceless enemy, I feel obliged to expose the lie that stands in the center of the current liberal democratic militant enthusiasm.

    Being born in Israel in the early sixties, I was raised to believe that I lived in the 'only democracy in the middle-east'. While being a soldier in the army I realized that I grew up among a people who deny the most basic human rights to millions of Palestinians. As soon as I was able to interpret my surrounding reality I had to acknowledge the terrible fact that this Israeli oppressive policy is being supported by America and the 'free world'. Having managed to stop regarding myself as
    an innocent victim and detached myself from any Zionist beliefs, I have became very suspicious of manipulative right wing brain-washing and nationalist propaganda.
