Picket of a talk by anti-Semite GILAD ATZMON

Gilad Atzmon is not just a well-known jazz player he is also a well-known anti-Semite. He is a believer in the world Jewish conspiracy theory and supports and defends Holocaust Deniers. He claims to be a supporter of the Palestinians but in reality he is, like most anti-Semites a Zionist

Atzmon first came to prominence when he published an article ‘ The Protocols of the Elders of London’ Although Atzmon denies that he is a holocaust denier all the evidence suggests otherwise. In an article ‘From Esther to AIPAC’ he writes that ‘not a single Holocaust religion scholar dares engage in a dialogue with the so-called 'deniers' to discuss their vision of the events or any other revisionist scholarship.’ When questioned as to why he was circulating Holocaust Wars, a fulsome tribute to neo-Nazi Ernst Zundel, presently in a German prison for race hate crimes, Atzmon replied that it was ‘great text’ and described open Holocaust denier, Israel Shamir as a ‘unique and advanced thinker.’

After so many years of independence, the United States of America is becoming a remote colony of an apparently far greater state, the Jewish state . The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion http://www.gilad.co.uk/html%20files/protocols.html

Atzmon even doubts whether the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are a forgery: ‘American Jewry makes any debate on whether the 'Protocols of the elder of Zion' are an authentic document or rather a forgery irrelevant. American Jews (in fact Zionists) do control the world.’

we should be consistent and regard any act against Jews as a political reaction rather than an irrational racist attack…. the success of Zionism drains away any possibility of anti-Semitism.’ ‘we must begin to take the accusation that the Jewish people are trying to control the world very seriously.…The world's number one super power is there to support the Jewish state's wealth and security matters.

Another anti-Semitic myth that Atzmon circulates is that Jews are ‘christ killers’.

Zionists are not happy at all with the recycling of some old 'Anti-Semitic slogans and images'. They are especially annoyed when they are blamed for the death of Jesus.… I assume that those Jews who get angry when blamed for killing Jesus are those who identify themselves with Jesus's killers.… Why is it that the Jews who repeatedly demand that the Christian world should apologise for its involvement in previous persecutions, have never thought that it is about time that they apologised for killing Jesus? http://www.gilad.co.uk/html%20files/onanti.html ‘On Anti-Semitism’

The J’s are the ultimate chameleons, they can be whatever they like as long as it serves as some expedient. As soon as you criticise their expansionist militant national beliefs (Zionism) you hurt them as a race (Semites). ’ http://www.gilad.co.uk/html%20files/jspot.html ‘The J word, the J people and the J spot’

Atzmon’s particular targets are anti-Zionists Jews. They are ‘gatekeepers’. It is the presence of Jews within the Palestinian solidarity movement which ‘explain(s) why the lack of success of the Palestinian solidarity movement has never made it into a global mass movement. ‘Apparently, not many people around are that keen to join a liberal synagogue.’ http://www.gilad.co.uk/html%20files/Dialectic.htm

In a talk given to students at the School of Oriental Studies, Atzmon was reported as saying that attacking a synagogue is a ‘rational act.’ http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,1461699,00.html

Unfortunately Atzmon is taken seriously as a supporter of the Palestinians. Many people believe that he is a genuine anti-Zionist. We disagree. Anti-Semitism has always been the handmaiden of Zionism. As the founder of Political Zionism, Theodore Herzl wrote ‘“ the anti-Semites will
be our most dependable friends . our allies.” (Diaries pp.83/4) As the Christian Zionist lobby in the United States demonstrates, if you are anti-Semitic then it is natural to be a Zionist. You may not wish Jews to live in your country but you are more than happy for them to colonise Palestine!
