Netanyahu On ‘The Jew’, Herzl and Tikkun Olam

By Gilad Atzmon

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fascinating speech yesterday at the memorial ceremony of Theodor Herzl in Jerusalem (27.6.2013). ‘The Jew’, stated Netanyahu, is the saver and the liberator of humanity. He and she are the true meaning of progress as conveyed by the notion of ‘Tikkun Olam’ (fixing the world).  ‘The Jew’, according to the Israeli PM, is the emblem of philosophical, ideological, spiritual, scientific and aesthetic innovation.  

In his attempt to describe late 19th Century Jewish life in Vienna, Netanyahu said “they (the Jews) rose and flourished in science, art, medicine, philosophy, music, journalism, business, economics - Jewish prosperity can not be described. Freud, Mahler, Schnitzler, Schoenberg, Wittgenstein who came from a Jewish home, Stefan Zweig…”

But then, like Herzl, Netanyahu accepts that in spite of all their greatness, European Jews were doomed - they were despised and were eventually subject to a horrendous fate. According to Netanyahu and his mentor Herzl, antisemitism is engraved in the Goy’s mind.  “People are willing to believe everything about the Jews,” he says.

A film by Gregg McDonald of Consequential Films

Producers, Hugh Tisdale and Deborah Rich of Philosophy Football

In the autumn of 2011 Philosophy met Honey Thalijeh, then captain of the Palestine Women's Football team.

Honey told us the story of football in her country and we made a promise. That for Euro 2013, the Under 21s tournament hosted by Israel, we would visit Palestine to make a film and help tell the world what football means for ordinary Palestinians living on the other side of the wall Israel built to encircle and occupy their land.

The film was made on the eve of Israel hosting Euro 2013. Filmed, cut and edited in the space of 48 hours this is politically-committed reportage at its rapid and rough best. It was premiered at the Palestine Olympic Association HQ in Ramallah. Please spread this film far and wide.

Smearing Alice Walker

Alice Walker’s New Book Makes Her the Zionists’ Target
http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/06/26/smearing-alice-walker/
by JEFFREY BLANKFORT

In the comments section of a recent online article in the right wing New York Jewish publication, Algemeiner, not to be confused with the Frankfurter Allgemeine but conceivably with Der Sturmer, there was an argument over whether or not the “Mossad should deal with” Alice Walker as punishment for the critical comments directed towards Israel and American Jewish supporters of Israel in her latest book, “The Cushion in the Road” which, we can assume, none of those commenting had read.

All it took to set off the threat and a stream of racist venom against the 69 year African-American author was an inflammatory headline in Algemeiner’s June 19th edition:“ADL Blasts Anti-Israel Author Walker: ‘She is ‘unabashedly infected with Anti-Semitism’” followed by an article in the same vein.

As could be anticipated from the headline, the story featured a statement by Anti-Defamation League director, Abe Foxman:

“Alice Walker has sunk to new lows with essays that remove the gloss of her anti-Israel activism to reveal someone who is unabashedly infected with anti-Semitism.

“She has taken her extreme and hostile views to a shocking new level, revealing the depth of her hatred of Jews and Israel to a degree that we have not witnessed before.  Her descriptions of the conflict are so grossly inaccurate and biased that it seems Walker wants the uninformed reader to come away sharing her hate-filled conclusions that Israel is committing the greatest atrocity in the history of the world.”

According to an ADL press release, Walker’s book “devotes 80 pages to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, often making comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany, denigrating Judaism and Jews, and suggesting that Israel should cease to exist as a Jewish state.”

Gabi Weber: The Gatekeeper of Freiburg University

Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: defeating Israel and The Lobby in a Western court, let alone, Germany, is a rare event. The following article tells the story of such a victory. It exposes the work of  Dr.  Heinrich Schwendemann,  a shameless Sabbath Goy and a Holocaust Industry pedlar. Café Palestine Freiburg has managed to unveil his tactics and his destructive power within the University.

The Gatekeeper of Freiburg University

By Gabi Weber

http://othersite.org/gabi-weber-the-gatekeeper-of-freiburg-university/

Six weeks ago, the University of Freiburg was defeated by Cafe Palestine (Press Release) when five judges at the Administrative Court of Freiburg rejected the university’s arguments for denying Cafe Palestine a venue for one of its speakers. Surely it is now time to delve a little more deeply into this unprecedented case which deserves close attention.

At the centre of it all we find one Dr.  Heinrich Schwendemann, Freiburg University historian and a founder of one of many German Holocaust memorial sites Shoa.de. 

A year ago, Cafe Palestine invited Dr.  Schwendemann, together with Prof. Norton Mezvinsky the renowned American Jewish historian to participate in a panel at Freiburg University. Also participating was Gilad Atzmon, the Jazz artist and author of "The Wandering Who – A Study of Jewish Identity Politics".  This much discussed book has been endorsed by some of the most important scholars and intellectuals of our time with a German edition published in June 2012.

Dr. Schwendemann enthusiastically accepted the invitation but, three  days before the event, he changed his mind insisting that reading Atzmon’s book made it impossible for him to share a platform with somebody who is "relativising the Holocaust".  The event took place without Dr. Schwendemann (Speech Gilad Atzmon), (Speech Prof. Mezvinsky)

In July 2012, Cafe Palestine planned to host another talk at Freiburg University featuring French professor Christophe Oberlin from Paris. The talk was titled "Plastic Surgery in Gaza" and was set to attract the attention of the local medical community as well as Palestine supporters and humanists. But Cafe Palestine soon learned that the university had decided to withdraw use of the venue. Smelling a rat, Cafe Palestine looked closely into this cancellation and after having received the letter from the University outlining the reasons for the cancellation, decided to issue a complaint at the Administrative Court.

Hot Off The Press: Israelis aren’t racist

By Gilad Atzmon 

They kill everyone equally!

On Friday, an Israeli security guard shot dead a fellow-Israeli Jew at the wailing wall saying later he feared the man was a Palestinian militant because he had shouted "Allahu akbar" ("God is the greatest" in Arabic).

The verdict is clear. Israelis are not racist. They kill everyone who shouts ‘Allahu akbar’ regardless of one's race, gender or religion.

Palestinian Singer Mohammad Assaf named goodwill UN ambassador

Mohammad Assaf became Palestine's first Arab Idol on Saturday.
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Mohammad Assaf, the first Palestinian to win the popular Arab Idol TV singing contest, will also become the UN's first Palestinian goodwill ambassador.

A diplomatic source in Beirut, where MBC's Arab Idol is filmed, told Ma'an the agreement was signed days ago to make Assaf the first-ever Palestinian refugee to become a goodwill UN ambassador, becoming the Palestine refugee agency UNRWA's first-ever regional youth ambassador, the source said Saturday.

"A man with a golden voice is going to take the Palestinians' voice to the universe. At long last, a fantastic story out of Gaza that will touch the hearts of the world," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity as the ambassadorship had not yet been announced.

"It is is a wonderful day for Palestine and for the UN."

Gaza in Brazil

 

 

By Gilad Atzmon

In the last few days, we have been learning about the emerging unrest in Brazil.  The protests began early this month in response to a rise in bus fares in São Paulo and elsewhere, but have grown rapidly into a general outpouring of discontent after widespread anger at the heavy-handed police crackdown.

In case you are perplexed by Brazil’s police violence, The Lab, a new Israeli film by Yotam Feldaman, provides the answers.

Watch the Brazilian Gaza:

Organ Trafficking AGAIN!!!

Medical chief at Costa Rica state hospital arrested as part of organ trafficking investigation

doctors performing Kidney transplant

 

June 18th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) A chief doctor at a Costa Rican government-ran hospital was arrested today on suspicion of being part of an international organ trafficking network which specializes in selling kidneys to patients in Israel, according to the Attorney General’s Office.

Attorney General Jorge Chavarria told the press that the arrested is Francisco Mora Palma, head of Nephrology at Calderon Guardia Hospital, one of the largest state medical centers in the country.

"The patients who required the transplants were in Israeli territory, and some of the (trafficking) victims [had their kidney removed] here and others were transported to Israel.  We have information that at least one person died after being operated on in Israel,” Chavarria said.

The prosecutor explained that the organization has branches in Israel and Eastern Europe, though did not elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation.

The Most Contaminated Land in the Middle East

By Gilad Atzmon

Ynet reported today that Haifa District Court judge ruled that there was no causal link between Kishon River’s pollution and the illness of more than 70 Israeli Navy seal divers, despite expert claims that 'exposure to one molecule' could lead to illness.

For more than 25 years, the Israeli elite Navy seals used to dive and train in the Kishon River in the Haifa Bay, apparently, the most polluted river in Israel. Authorities were warned about the lethal concentrations of cancerous substances in the river for years.

The Haifa  District Court ruled Monday that there is no causal link between the pollution in the Kishon River and the illness of 70 former Navy commandos.

The divers' suit was filed against the Haifa Municipality, Haifa Chemicals, oil refineries, and the Haifa Region Association of Towns, claiming they are responsible for the pollution and toxic waste in the river, including arsenic, nickel, chromium, cadmium, lead and benzene.

Seemingly it took 2000 years for the Jews to come back to their so-called  ‘promised land’ but just a few years to pollute the rivers and contaminate the land.

David Ray Griffin, Gilad Atzmon take the United Nations!

By Kevin Barrett  

When Israeli propagandist Sayan Hillel Neuer stood up on the floor of the United Nations and started waving around David Ray Griffin's The New Pearl Harbor and Gilad Atzmon's The Wandering Who?, he probably didn't realize that he was giving priceless PR to two of the most important books of our time.

 

David Ray Griffin – 911 Commission Report: Ommissions and Distortions

 

Gilad Atzmon — The Wandering Who Endorsements

 

And yes, "priceless" is the word. Get a load of Neuer hawking Griffin's and Atzmon's books:

 

Neuer's unintentional book-promotion stunt was meant to be part of his witch-hunt against Special UN Human Rights Rapporteur Richard Falk, who has warmly reviewed both books. (Listen to my recent interview with Richard Falk here.)  But what Neuer apparently doesn't grasp is that the vast majority of people at the UN, especially the delegates from countries other than the US and Europe, absolutely loathe hysterical Zionist idiots such as himself. You can bet that after Neuer's little stunt, many of those who witnessed it made a note to head for the bookstore or library to pick up a copy of Griffin's and Atzmon's books.

 

Most UN delegates are favorably disposed toward 9/11 truth and anti-Zionism. On the several occasions when Iran's soon-to-be ex-president Ahmadinejad has stood before the UN and called 9/11 an inside job, the US and Israeli delegates, and a handful of US-Israeli puppet delegates, stood up and walked out. But the representatives of the vast majority of the world's delegates not only refused to join the walkout, but stayed to give Ahmadinejad standing ovations! Obviously most of the world's people, including their UN delegates, hold views closer to those of Griffin and Atzmon than to those of Neuer and his neocon uber-Zionist colleagues.
