The Lexicon of Zion

http://dissidentvoice.org/2015/05/lexicon-of-zion/

By Kim Petersen / May 13th, 2015

Author/jazz artist Gilad Atzmon has combined with cartoonist Enzo Apicella to produce, as it is entitled, The Definitive Israeli Lexicon: A to Zion. And true to its title, provided are the definition of words from A to Z — from a Jewish-Israeli standpoint.

As the book’s composers make clear, it is a “truthful yet satirical book.” They also unashamedly state that it “is probably the ultimate toilet book.” In a sense this is very true because it is full of shit which is a euphemistic way to describe the belief that one people has the right to commit assorted crimes such as stealing another people’s land, homes, and laying siege to their victims.

This dispossession, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians by Israeli Jews is captured with a delicate balance of seriousness and, tongue-in-cheek by Atzmon and Apicella as they conclude their book with a mantra uttered meaninglessly by too many Jews: “Never again” — to which Atzmon and Apicella add “hopefully.”

The definitions range from humorous to serious and dark to controversial.

A sampling will provide a taste:

B

Ben Gurion — an airport near Tel Aviv

C

Concentration Camp — so we stay focused

G

God — was invented by us so he could choose us over all other people

I

Israel — a place where we can punish Arabs for crimes committed by Europeans

P

Palestinians — a uniquely stubborn breed of Arab who, for some peculiar reason, choose to live in our promised homeland

S

U

UN — a lot of resolutions, nice blue hats

*****

Near the end of the book, Atzmon and Apicella have kindly provided room for readers to add their own lexicon.

Among those I would add:

R

Resolution, UN Security Council — nothing sticks to our Teflon coat

V

Veto — shields us from UN Security Council Resolutions. Good for Jews (see Iron Dome)

*****

Atzmon and Apicella know well that language is a weapon of the occupier. They use that language to expose the occupier’s unseemly side.

In need of more toilet reading? Get Atzmon and Apicella’s The Definitive Israeli Lexicon: A to Zion and add to the lexicon of Zion.

ADL Reports: Gilad Atzmon and Yaakov Shapiro Condemn Israel and Zionism

Introduction by GA:  

Unlike JVP and Modoweiss who cowardly failed to even mention* the historic anti Zionist gathering between Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro and yours truly in NYC last Wednesday, the infamous ultra Zionist ADL was brave enough to send a reporter to the event and even deliver a brief review of the discussion. The meaning of this is obvious and depressing. Unlike our so-called Jewish ‘allies’ who are actively engaged in suppression of intellectual exchange and policing the discourse, the vile Zionists are willing to encounter criticism and even give it a thought. This fact alone may explain why Zionism has won such vast support amongst Jewish people. At the end of the day, Zionism is coherent and consistent as much as it is genocidal and supremacist. But the Jewish left is duplicitous to its core; concealment and suppression of truth is its survival strategy.    

 A video of the discussion will be released soon
