Kevin Barrett: Gilad Atzmon is one of Europe's greatest saxophonists—and probably the hardest working one. He also may be the "most censored thinker" in the Western world. Everywhere he goes, Zionists (and occasionally anti-Zionists) clamor to have him banned.

Now the censors may have gone too far. After the Islington (London) council banned him from performing with The Blockheads based on a single complaint from an angry Zionist, a wave of support for Gilad, and for free speech, has been washing across the world.

In this interview Gilad says he is grateful that the Zionists have exposed their own neuroses—compare their absurd anti-Gilad discourses to an actual news story about the Islington censorship episode.

We also discuss identity politics, the joys and perils of truth-seeking, the question of whether BDS should be applied to Israeli universities, and the notion that Gilad may in fact be participating in "prophetic Judaism"—a tradition of free-thinking universalism and ethical rigor exemplified by such "self-hating Jews" as Jesus and Spinoza.
