A suspected “price tag,” or retaliation, arson attack by right-wing Jewish settlers killed an 18-month-old Palestinian child in a house in the occupied West Bank and injured several other people, according to Israeli police.

Read More“It is very clear that British public is tired of these Zionist wars. It is tired of fake left and fake Labour. And the success of Jeremy Corbyn is probably the most positive sign we see in British politics for decades. It means that there is a support for genuine call for equality, for proper working class politics,” Gilad Atzmon told Press TV’s UK Desk on Friday.
Read MoreA good book should hold within its covers a range of ingredients including a bit of poignancy, a touch of irony, a few shockers, a good dose of truth and a smattering of education. It should also entertain. A good book will contain all of this and take around two days to read, if you really get involved. A to Zion: The Definitive Israeli Lexicon offers all of the above, and will only take between 5-10 minutes to read.

Read MoreWhile I am confident that you personally did not blackball Alison, the group has. To me that is an indication that it has been co-opted by Zionists and Christians who are so philosemitic that they cannot even recognise the hypocrisy of their actions. Shame on them and their refusal to speak truth to power.
Read MoreManuel Talens died Tuesday, July 21, in Valencia following a long illness. I lost a close friend and Europe lost one of its bravest critical minds, a major intellect and one of Spain’s best translators. Manuel was a true left intellectual, now pretty much an extinct political animal. It is difficult to imagine the world without him.
A decade ago, I advised the ‘Jews in the movement’ as they call themselves that they were heading toward a disaster. Manuel and I identified the depth of the flaws in Jewish anti Zionism. We spotted the tribal core that drives non ethical judeo-centric politics. If my detractors were brave enough to read my work instead of desperately trying to destroy me, they could save themselves from the disaster to come.

From the start, things went well. It was one of those evenings when a player finds the right level of banter for the audience and has them in the palm of their hand after the first number and a bit of well-judged humour. The Orient House Ensemble back Gilad’s playing well and this comes of nearly 25 years of playing together – albeit with a few changes here and there. Yaron Stavi on bass seems to be able to fill every conceivable gap Gilad leaves (and there are not many) with beautiful, flowing bass lines and his solo sections are wonderful whilst Frank Harrison uses his keys to almost perfection with atmospheric soloes. Mostly playing tracks form their latest album ‘The Whistle Blower’ the band took the listener on journeys through places and settings. Numbers included ‘Gazza Mon Amour’ with its grinding, driving eastern melody and rhythms, ‘The Romantic Church’ which is a gentler number on the album but here extended and enhanced by some wicked bass, keys and a sax solo. ‘ The Whistle Blower’ (which has the audience wolf whistling at the appropriate places, encouraged by Gilad and the band singing, slightly off key but with great enthusiasm, and ‘For Moana’ – a beautiful, sex laden piece written about an Italian porn star Moana Pozzi, who later turned to politics – Gilad even looked her up on his I-pod when he realised half the audiences (actually more like 90 percent) had no idea who she was and passed the pictures around the audience, warning the men not to get too excited. He said it was OK with his wife as she died 20 years ago (Moana, not his wife). ‘Burning Bush’ was dedicated, tongue in cheek to George Bush and as an encore the band played their version of Hoagy Carmichael andStuart Gorrell,’s ‘Georgia’.
However, that evening what struck me was Gilad’s playing. I have seen him play a few times, with the OHE and also with The Blockheads but I have never seen him play like this. A combination of moods, an open ear, inspiration from somewhere else and a great atmosphere in the club led to some of the best playing I can remember. Gilad plays slightly hunched over, the sax seemingly an extension of his arms and middle section, he trills, he rolls, he squeezes emotion from his instrument and then he improvises, taking it just far enough away from the theme not to lose this fairly traditional audience but proving that as an improviser Gilad has few rivals. His interaction with the audience was largely well received, although, as ever, he pushed some his points to the limit, bringing in political references which were designed to get a reaction – some of them- did but back to the music. When Gilad shuts his eyes, rocks like a man possessed and unleashes the power of his lungs and his dexterity with a sax, beware, let it wash over you, sit back and just enjoy. It is very rare that I am genuinely ‘blown away’ by a musician and often, one I have seen several times can no longer really surprise me but this night, this place and this time, Gilad did just that. In answer to the guy who said Gilad was one of the best players in the world I now have an answer – I think he (probably) is.
To buy The Whistle Blower:
The Australian TV was kind enough to conceal the embarrassing fact that at the time Lord Greville Jenner allegedly slept with young kids in his marital bed, he was also the Chairman of the BOD, a body that claims to represent British Jewry.

Read MoreIn a ‘landmark speech’ according to The Times, British PM David Cameron promised to single out “Muslim conspiracy theorists” who believe that “Jews exercise malevolent power, that 9/11was inspired by the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, and that Britain allowed 7/7 because it wanted an anti Muslim backlash.” PM Cameron vowed to tackle ideas “hostile” to British liberal values but I am baffled – if I understand it correctly, according to Cameron, everyone in Britain except Muslims, is allowed to discuss issues of Jewish power or whether 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Here, Cameron might be slightly confused. Liberal values suggest the complete opposite. We, and by we, I mean all Brits, are supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law. What David Cameron was preaching seems like Israeli and Zionist values.

Read MoreI have carefully read every word of your statement against Alison Weir. Thank you for making it very clear that you label any supposed or alleged attack on Jews as "anti-Semitic." This is an ancient argument and you are renewing it. I noticed that you seldom attempted to prove with a factual rebuttal that the supposed attacks on Jews were false. Let's face it you are reinforcing the idea that somehow that Jews presently and throughout history are immune to criticism as if somehow Jews have no responsibility at all for their persecution.

I would like to congratulate The US Campaign To End Israeli Occupation (EOIO) for confirming the substance of my argument that Jewish domination of the solidarity movement has had a corrosive effect on the movement. My argument is detailed in my recent book, The Wandering Who.
We are dealing with a category of people who are primarily attached to their tribal interests. These people should be encouraged to form their political groups and cherish their cultural heritage but cannot anymore be dominating any universal call or campaign. For the simple reason that tribalism and universalism are like oil and water! They don’t mix at all.

Read MoreAlison Weir has recently joined the long list of Goyim who have been charged by the Palestinian Solidarity Movement's Sanhedrin Court. Alison, however, should cheer up, Pope Francis has also been charged in a Sanhedrin court in a different jurisdiction. This time it is the Jerusalem Sanhedrin, pretty much the same Jewish Judicial entity that charged Jesus before he was brought up in front of Roman Governor Pontius Pilate.
With all these Sanhedrin courts pouring their wrath on the Goyim, the time to form a Goyim Defense League (GDL) is overdue.
