Jews and Terminology
By Gilad Atzmon
ABC Newsreports this morning - Secretary of State John Kerry did what for many of Israel’s supporters is the unthinkable and used the A-word: apartheid.
Apparently for many Jewish groups, the suggestion that the Jews only State is, or even could be, an ‘Apartheid State’ is unthinkable. But far more interesting is the fact that the Jewish Lobby in America believes that it can dictate to the Secretary of State what terms to use and what words to avoid. “Any suggestion that Israel is, or is at risk of becoming, an apartheid state is offensive and inappropriate,” AIPAC’s statement read in part. And it didn’t take long for American Shabbos Goyim within the Congress and Senate to weigh in. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., released a statement urging Kerry to apologize to the Israeli government and people. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, suggested Kerry shouldn’t even have the chance to apologize, as he took to the Senate floor to call for the secretary to step down.
But in truth, Kerry is actually slightly wrong - Israel is not an Apartheid State. It has never been so and never will be. Apartheid is a racially driven system of exploitation. But Israel doesn’t want to exploit the Palestinians, it wants them gone! Israel is racist, nationalist and an ethnic cleanser. The Jewish State is not an Apartheid state, instead it follows the Nazi model of ethnic purity. That realisation can really upset the progressive Jews.
Gaza’s Ark Attacked
Gaza City - Gaza
At 3:45 AM Gaza time on April 29th, the night guard on board Gaza's Ark
received a call to leave the boat because it was going to be attacked.
The guard left, but when nothing happened, he returned after 5 minutes. A few
minutes later, a large explosion rocked the boat causing extensive damage.
The boat sank part way and is now sitting on the shallow sea floor. The guard
was not injured but was taken to hospital for tests.
Mahfouz Kabariti, Gaza’s Ark Project Manager, says: “The extent and nature of
the damage are currently being investigated. We will provide an update when
available.”
A radical thinker
Gilad Atzmon : a radical thinker
Posted by L'armurier dans Rencontre |
Following his conference in Geneva on March 20th, L’Armurerie met Gilad Atzmon and asked him some questions.
(Dieudonne, Anti Semitism, Jewishness, David Duke, Israel Shahak and more')
N : One of my first questions has already found an answer during the conference actually!
GA : Don't worry about that, try again, I may have changed my mind (laughs).
N : Regarding the Jewish intelligentsia’s campaign against Dieudonné in France, it is not clear what they try to achieve. Their behavior is not exactly reasonable.
GA : You have read my book so you understand that what you may consider as ‘reason’ has very little to do with Jewish reasoning.
While stressful reaction to trauma is generally called post-traumatic stress disorder, in the case of the Jews, we are dealing with PRE-traumatic stress. Jews are in many cases tormented by a fantasy of terror. And it is the fantasy of terror that shapes their actions. So they invent a fantasy of an Iranian nuclear threat, and this fantasy of terror would shape their actions and eventually may lead towards a disaster for themselves and the rest of us. For instance, considering the Iranians are in a state of security alert, and for a good reason, they may even misinterpret a move in Israeli airspace that would lead to a reaction !
Interestingly enough, and it is the first time I say it publicly, when you watch “Schindler’s list’, the Jewish crowd on the screen discusses issues to do with gas chambers. They say, «Yes, we've heard that there are gas chambers» and, as viewers, we are also terrified by the concept. Then, when the Jews are marched into the showers, we are fully anticipating a mass slaughter and this is obviously the dramatic peak of the movie. But this is in fact the product of a pre-traumatic stress. It's a fantasy! Because as we are about to learn very soon, there is no gas, we are dealing with showers, simply water pouring out of them.
N: You mean, in the movie? (Laughs)
GA : Yes, I'm talking about the movie. But this is a classical case, and it's incredible that Spielberg decided to bring this aspect of Jewish psyche into cinematic life. Spieberg is a very interesting character, do you remember the movie E.T., it is basically the story of a Jew who went out of the ghetto and got into trouble, but eventually made friends with the Goyim. Nevertheless, he still wants to go home, back to the ghetto ! But for the time being he's with all these goyim, and they love him, which is something that never happened to Spielberg himself (laughs).
N : Usually, not in Israel, of course, but in Europe, they are trying to manipulate us, as you say, «by way of deception » (Mossad’s motto): they act as French people, just like any other citizen. However, in the case of Dieudonné, they actually reveal their strategy and political power.
GA : I have great respect for Dieudonné, and I think this is mutual.
In fact, his story was the emblem of Jewish identity politics. They tell you again and again, «the personal is political», so you say « oh fine, I'm black so my politics will be black then, that's fine, so I'm going to be concerned with black issues, slavery and discrimination, and I'm going to care little about your thing, i.e, the Shoa, this is your thing.».
But, apparently, the personal is political only as long as you don't undermine or eclipse Jewish suffering. Because Jewish suffering is the primary topic and the Holocaust is the new religion -- an awful religion indeed.
Because Christianity, for instance, is about spreading goodness, Islam is about peace («Salaam») and about finding yourself. The holocaust religion, however, is about vengeance. There is a very important Israeli philosopher – the late Yeshayahu Leibowitz -- who said that Jews believe in many things. They believe in Buddha, in Judaism, you have got Jews for this, Jews for that, Jews for Palestinians, but all of them believe in the Holocaust. Holocaust is the new Jewish religion, and this is their problem. But when they ask you, French people, to make the Holocaust your new religion, this is interfering with your Western values system.

Press TV: US foreign policy ‘tragically dominated’ by Israel lobby
Washington’s foreign policy remains “dominated” by Israel, which is “not familiar with the notion of peace,” a political analyst and writer in London says.
The Obama administration’s “disappointment” over a reconciliation pact between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority (PA) “is another evidence that, tragically enough, American foreign policy is still dominated by the [pro-Israel] Jewish lobby,” said Gilad Atzmon.
“America should have welcomed such a truce between the Hamas and the PA,” Atzmon told Press TV on Saturday.
On Wednesday, Hamas and Fatah reached a momentous reconciliation deal, and the Palestinian factions announced that they will make efforts to form a unity government in the coming weeks.
Craig Murray: David Aaronovitch Posts Fake Book Reviews and Lies About Why
http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/
David Aaronovitch entered into a conspiracy with others to post fake 5 star reviews of his last shoddy book on Amazon. He now lies about why. He has attempted to defuse the row by coming clean and making light, courtesy of his Murdoch employer.
But his explanation is a plain lie. Aaronovitch claims that :
“almost before my book was published, the first 1-star reviews started to appear, from people who had never read it. After a week, even I wouldn’t have bought it.”
In fact, the very first eight reviews on Amazon were all five star - which by his own argument must be “from people who had never read it”. That is very probably true, as the first two five star reviews were posted on the very day the book was released, 7 May 2009. In fact the average rating of the first reviews is very much higher than the average rating he gets from the general public overall, extremely suspiciously so. (One remote possibility is he was getting Amazon to delete critical reviews, but that also would negate his justification for procuring the fake positive reviews).
Gilad Atzmon - The Biology Of The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (video)
Dear Readers and Followers
The following video is probably my most important talk to date.
It is an attempt to deconstruct the notion of the ‘Jewish genius’. It elaborates on the building of Jewish cognitive elite. It equates between the Zionist and Israeli elite that is highly pragmatic as well as sinister and Palestinian elite that is, to a certain extent, dysfunctional politically.
The talk is an attempt to grasp Jewish intelligentsia from evolutionary perspectives.
The lecture was given in Geneva in March 20th and it presents the direction of my thought from now onward.
A German Self Hater For A Change
He hates his German past as much as he loves his Jewish present.
However unlike Jewish ‘self-haters’, Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger is not a subject to a vile harassment campaign by the hands of his former compatriots.
Also, unlike many Jews who are obsessed with the primacy of Jewish suffering, converted Jew Wollschlaeger actually believes that we must draw a universal lesson from the Holocaust. It may be possible that Wollschlaeger’s Nazi father actually brought up his son in the light of a universal ethics.

Johnny Racist and A White Jew With A Fat Arse
By Gilad Atzmon
A black musician friend told me a funny story the other day. Among his sins he regularly attends black comedy nights here in London. On these nights the comedians are black and the audience predominantly so. But the other night a big white young woman settled in the front row. It didn’t take long before one of the female stand up artists picked on her.
“What are you doing here, on a black comedy night?”
“I am black,” the big white woman answered.
“surely you are not, you are very white.”
“but I am Jewish,” the woman replied
“so you are a white Jew.”
“But I have a big bum” the woman insisted.
The black comedian clearly didn’t approve of ‘kosher essentialism,’ she turned her back to the audience and pointed at her own petite and toned buttocks. She then faced the Jewish lady and angrily shouted at her.
“You are not black, you are just a white Jewish woman with a fat arse.”
We are entitled to laugh, I guess, because this short punch line mocks the Jewish progressive solidarity onanism – a deceitful political spiel that is set to convey an image of empathy and leads nowhere.
It seems that within the context of ID politics, one is welcome to pick an identity regardless of any authentic considerations. The Jewish woman decided to identify as black. Yet, in spite of her ‘fat arse’ she won’t be stopped by the Metropolitan police four times a day. She won’t be detained or harassed because she fits into a specific category within the police’s racial profiling book. The Jewish woman is somehow privileged.

The spectacular British TV comedy Little Britain’s Daffyd Thomas (The Only Gay In The Village) exposes the authenticity hole at the centre of contemporary ID politics. Daffyd Thomas is a gay wannabe. He is, in reality, a mere collection of symptoms, he basically craves someone else’s identity while being detached from any true and real notion of selfhood. In fact, he has never been in bed with a man.

Jesus In Auschwitz For Easter (must watch)
By Gilad Atzmon
Now that Jews have started to tire of their own Holocaust industry, some Jews have decided to send Jesus to the gas chambers just ahead of Easter.
The following peculiar video appeared on the net a few days ago.
http://youtu.be/ZXmr_weg2ao
‘That Jew Died For You’ is a three-minute video showing Jesus Christ being schlepped to Auschwitz amongst a group of fellow Jews. And guess what, the horrid Nazis do not show mercy toward the holy man, they send him to the gas chamber together with his Jewish brethren.
The film was produced by Jews For Jesus and the explanation is as follows – ‘Jesus has often been wrongly associated with the perpetrators of the Holocaust.’ The short video is meant to clear that up. Jesus was ‘just another Jew,’ and he would have been ended up in the gas chamber like any other Jew.
The Jewish ‘progressive’ outlet, Forward Magazine, is not happy with the clip and its message. Apparently the Forward doesn’t approve of Jews For Jesus because it is a ‘front’ dedicated to the conversion of Jews. Jay Michaelson writes “let’s start with the reminder that Jews for Jesus is a front. …It exists to convert Jews.” Michaelson doesn’t like the clip either. “Any Jew with personal, familial, or even historical memories of the Holocaust will immediately find it to be an outrage. Not to state the obvious, but it desecrates the memory of six million Jews to use their suffering as a way to convert Jews to Christianity.”
An Interview With David Rovics
Art of Resistance
I have a lot in common with David Rovics. We are both artists- he is an American singer/songwriter, I am a Jazz artist, we are outspoken, we both oppose imperialist wars and we also believe that ethics and aesthetics are somehow related and can bring a change. For many years I’ve been overwhelmed by the simplicity, the honesty and the directness with which David delivers his message.
Gilad Atzmon: Music and politics, shouldn’t they be separate entities?
David Rovics: Music without politics is fine. Politics without music, I’m not so sure… Politics needs music to keep it human, to keep it connected with humanity. As far as politics in music, it works well because you can tell a story in a song that doesn’t ring the same alarm bells as it would if you told the story some other way. I think music — and other forms of artistic expression, but especially music — is the best way to bring someone somewhere you want to bring them, if you can’t take them to the actual place you’re singing about.

The Kosher Trinity and Jewish Quantum Mechanics
DEBATE - Anti-Semitism: myth or reality
A Talk Given By Gilad Atzmon @ The Albion Beatnik Book Shop, Oxford, UK
April 15, 2014
Good evening book lovers and wisdom seekers.
As some of you have realised the title of this debate morphed slightly since I initiated it. The discussion was first titled ‘Anti-Semitism, A Myth or A Threat.’ We are now supposed to engage in a dialogue on ‘Racism, a Myth or a Threat.’
Ladies and gentleman, this shift in the title is, actually, more significant than it first appears. It is actually a manifestation of our confusion and fear of looking at Jewish identity, politics, culture and ideology.
There is no doubt amongst scholars that Jews, as a group, derive from multiple ethnic origins and are far from a homogenous race. There is no racial continuum between a Polish Jew and a Yemenite one. But it is also obvious that Jewish political culture, whether Zionist or ‘anti’ is ethno-centric and, to a large extent, racially driven. Just like Israel, the Jews-only State, Israel’s Jewish opponents too often prefer to operate within Jews-only organisations such as ‘Jewish Voices For Peace,’ ‘ Jews for Justice,‘ etc’. In short, whether they are Zionist or ‘anti,’ Jews somehow prefer to operate in ethnically segregated racially oriented political cells.
The conclusion is obvious -though Jews are not a race, Jewish identity politics is racist to the core.
We can now rephrase the title of the debate slightly and ask whether Jewish racism is a myth or a threat. Let me tell you straight away, this won’t lead into an interesting discussion. Jewish racism is evident and it is certainly a threat.
Five million ethnically cleansed Palestinians can confirm that this is the case. Their brothers and sisters that stayed behind, against all odds, can tell you about Israeli ethno- centrism and racially discriminatory laws. Even here, in the UK, my Palestinian friend, the poet, Naiad Izzat, was expelled from a Palestinian solidarity group by so- called good Jewish socialists just for saying what she thinks about Jewish culture and politics. So here is another embarrassing conclusion. Jewish racism is easily visible as a threat but for some reason we cannot address it in the open.
I guess that by now we are ready to tackle the initial topic of this debate. Anti-Semitism, is it a myth or a threat?
Let us first make sure that we understand the terminology involved.
At a certain stage, largely at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, some elements within European intelligencia were fascinated by Darwinism and its political applications. It was then that opposition to Jewry adopted a racist rationale. Some political thinkers and movements were clearly opposed to Jews just for being Jews. Such opposition could be recognized as an essentialist tendency that is racially driven and is often tagged as anti-Semitism. However, I believe that this rationale had been defeated by the end of WWII.
As a leading commentator on Jewish identity, I am closely familiar with pretty much every critical text related to Jewish politics. I can confirm that I have never come across contemporary opposition to Jewry that is blood or biologically related. I can’t point to any body of work or political call to oppose Jews for being Jews. But I have seen many texts that criticise Jewish racism, culture and politics.
You will have to ask yourself, maybe for the first time, is cultural criticism wrong? Is political criticism a crime? Should a certain kind of politics be free from criticism? Elaborating on these questions may lead us to a better understanding of the notion of Jewish power. Jewish power isn’t solely the manifestation of the dominance of certain Jews within our political, cultural and financial landscape. Jewish power is primarily the capacity to stop us from discussing the true meaning of such Jewish dominance.
We tend to believe that politics of any kind must be subject to thorough criticism. We don’t stop ourselves from criticising the BNP or David Cameron. We do not seem to hesitate before we criticize the Muslim Brotherhood, but try to comment on Ed or David Miliband’s support of Israel and the Zionist project. Alternatively make an attempt to question what is the meaning of the Jewishness of the Jewish State. You will quickly face a wall of resistance, and may end up subject to a smear campaign by the so-called progressive Jews. The truth is that Jewish power, i.e. the aggressive attempt to conceal the real meaning of Jewishness, is actually maintained by the Jewish Left.
The Kosher Trinity and the Jewish Quantum Mechanics
We will now try to grasp the mechanism by which this suppression of political criticism has taken place.
Due to emancipation, secularization and the rise of nationalism, European Jewry went through a radical transformation during the 19th century. By 1897, we saw the formation of two Jewish nationalist movements. One was Zionism – a promise to ‘civilize’ the diaspora Jew by means of resettlement in Zion (Palestine). The other was the Bund – a ‘socialist Jews only movement’ that demanded the rights of a nation for the Yiddish people in Eastern Europe.
Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that these two movements contributed towards the invention of the ‘Jewish Nation.’ It was the invention of the Jewish nation that brought about a new kosher trinity – as opposed to theo-centric rabbinical Judaism,- modern Jewish secular identity is related to Race (a biological bond), Nationalism (a common narrative) and Religion (a fantasy of common beginnings and heritage referred to as Yiddishkeit ).
The kosher Trinity is coherent and consistent, yet a sinister amalgam. Let’s, for instance, examine the Zionist call: as a race ‘the Jews are victims,’ as a Nation ‘they deserve a place under the sun’ and for their religion ‘this place must be Zion.’
Although many Jews operate politically, and in most cases aggressively as Jews, they somehow defy any criticism of themselves in the name of racism and religious intolerance.
When you criticize Israeli policy, the Zionist Jew will denounce you as a racist. When you disapprove of the racist and supremacist tendency entangled with Judaism and the Talmud, the progressive Jew will accuse you of religious intolerance. But when you expect the cosmopolitan Jew to uphold his alleged universal commitment to humanity and to remove himself from his Jews- only progressive cell and join humanity for real, you are immediately blamed for being intolerant culturally, religiously and even a racist.
What we see here in practice is a new form of Jewish Quantum mechanics. The political Jew is everywhere and nowhere at once. The political Jew is a dynamic and coherent and yet, somehow blurred. You can never comprehend what it is or where to find it exactly, but you can be sure that it is somewhere within an imaginary tri-polar magnetic field that is formed by Jewish racism, aggressive nationalism and vague and versatile Jewish religious adherence. The Jewish political subject is bouncing endlessly between these three magnetic forces. It is never standing still, it is never found on once place -it moves, morphs and adapts
May I admit that so-called anti Semites may skip the above physical metaphors and instead refers to the Jew as a chameleon. Interestingly enough, Woody Allen’s Zelig may as well be a cinematic attempt to deal with this Jewish morphic condition.
Now, let’s face it. At least theoretically speaking there is nothing wrong with being racially oriented, we do not campaign against Blacks who celebrate their blackness. Nationalism can be an uplifting feeling and religious rituals can purify the spirit. But, unfortunately, none of these positive potential characteristics can be ascribed to Jewish ID politics. Tragically, modern Jewish politics is always celebrated at the expense of someone else. The Zionists plundered Palestine, the Neocon suffocates Arab land with uranium depleted shells in the name of morals, the good cosmopolitan Jew rushed to Spain to kill Catholics and burn their churches in the name of the ‘proletariat’. As I speak to you tonight the Jewish lobby here in Britain, America and France is pushing for war against Syria and Iran.
I came here today to address the question of whether anti-Semitism is a myth or a thereat. My answer is simple. The opposition to Jewish power is neither a myth nor it is a threat. It is actually a primary humanist and a moral duty.
The Jewish State and its dedicated lobbies are threats to world peace. To oppose Jewish power and to understand its operational mode is an ethical imperative. And it can also save the Jews.
Jews are pretty gifted in bringing disasters upon themselves. Jewish history is a spectacular chain of horrid holocausts. And if there is something Jews fail to do, it is to look in the mirror and admit some faults. Instead of taking responsibility for their past and future, Jewish culture and politics can be understood as a successful attempt to blame others. It is somehow always the ‘anti Semitic Goy’ who is at fault.
Peculiarly enough early Zionism was a rare Jewish attempt to look in the mirror. A few Jewish intellectuals such as Herzl, Nordau and Jabotinsky looked in the mirror and were devastated enough to admit that something was indeed problematic in the Jewish social condition. They diagnosed a Jewish cultural malaise but their remedy proved to be a complete failure.
Whether Jews can look in the mirror and self-reflect is an open question. However, criticism of Jewish power and culture is an ethical must, it is a necessity. We owe it to ourselves, to our kids and to future generations. I guess that it would be also right to suggest that those who are tagged as anti-Semitic nowadays, are simply brutally honest people, often enough, of Jewish origin.
