The Wandering Jazzman... Jazz & politics

19th of January 2012 

King and Queen pub , 1 Foley St W1

19:30  discussion and a concert

 

19th of January 2012.  We will be playing at the King and Queen pub , 1 Foley St w1 . near to the bt/post office tower .GILAD ATZMON on saxophone , sean khan alto saxophone and mike edmonds on double bass, drums tba . 5 quid entry , 4 quid concessions . 8pm kick off . near to Goodge Street or Warren Street Tube . We had the great Jim Mullen last month at this intimate venue, and he was sensational. When ever Gilad plays something special always happens.

 
As an interesting addition Gilad will be having a debate before the gig (this is free),at 7.30pm, at the venue with MARK MOFFET (political activist, scientist and musician) with respect to Gilad's new book 'The Wandering Who', Mark has a number of interesting points which he feels need to be examined. This book has caused much controversy both here and the USA. In the book Gilad examines Jewish identity politics and its impact on both the Middle East (especially Palestine) and the West.  The debate will be an attempt to examine both the pros and cons of the book in an impartial way and I would like to invite anyone interested in this to take part in the open debate, after the formal debate between Gilad and Mark.  I must stress that anyone who is opposed to Gilad's views is very welcome and its important to 'grill' Gilad on any points raised in his book; I have spoken to Gilad about this and he wants an open debate so please take this opportunity.
 
Many thanks
Sean khan

THE SYSTEM full length trailer

I don’t know any of the participants in this trailer - they all seem to me pretty ordinary people. Yet, it is clear that each of them posses more wisdom than our entire political system.

I guess that the meaning of it is simple. The revolution is here.   

"War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself."

The Zionist Caricature by Gilad Atzmon

in , , , , ,

Could it be that Zionist-caricature Alan Dershowitz has resorted to comedy as he desperately tries to win his battle against me and my book?  What else could explain this intellectually retarded Zionist mouthpiece’s repetition of the same old lies? A few years ago Norman Finkelstein established that Dershowitz is a plagiarist, but now Dershowitz extends this infamous title - Now, he’s actually plagiarising his own phantasmic fibs!

Just a week before Hanukah, fancying himself as a bit of a music critic, Dershowitz described me as an ‘obscure saxophonist’. This was amusing enough, but yesterday Dershowitz elaborated on his notion of ‘obscurity’. In an embarrassingly unimaginative and vindictive article he called Chicago University Professor of Philosophy Brian Leiter a “relatively obscure professor of jurisprudence”. For a native English speaker (and a Harvard Professor) Dershowitz sure has a limited English vocabulary.

Professor Leiter’s crime was obvious enough: he stood up for freedom of expression and open debate. He defended Professor John Mearsheimer who has endorsed ‘The Wandering Who’ and refused to bow to vile and relentless Zionist pressure to withdraw his praise for the book.

Israeli Imperial News: 'Israeli drone spying on Turkey almost shot down'

Ynet reports today that "an Israeli drone flying over Turkey was nearly intercepted by Turkish aerial defense forces, an Istanbul-based media outlet reported on Tuesday."

 

Two Turkish F-16 fighter jets were called-up to the area, but failed to locate the drone. And I am left wondering is there an end to Israeli military  expansionism?

Pathetic Hasbara Video

In a usual deceitful manner the clip introduces itself saying: "The State of Israel and the Jewish people are united in baring the human responsibility to live ethical and moral lives."

If the Jewish State was indeed 'ethical and responsibel', Gaza wouldn't be the biggest open air prison in the history of humanity. The Jewish state is in engaged in a slow genocide. It  is merciless ethnic cleanser. It has no room amongst nations.

Islamophobic Harry’s Place thanks its Jewish Anti Zionist Collaborators

In the last year we have seen some so called Jewish ‘anti’ Zionists working hard to appease their Zionist brothers. Naomi Wimborne Idrissi attempted to run a clandestine operation within our movement.  Sarah Kershnar of the IJAN attempted to jeopardise a Palestinian Solidarity conference, we saw the relentless Tony Greenstein harassing Richard Falk, John Mearsheimer, Lauren Booth, Dr Samir Abed Rabo, Sameh Habeeb and myself amongst many others. But now they are all rewarded.

The ultra Zionist, pro war, Neocon Harry’s Place decided today to thank its Jewish ‘anti’ Zionist “allies”. In an astonishing piece named A (small) Thank You to Anti-Israel Jews, Zionist Mouthpiece Anthony Cooper thanks his collaborators within our midst.

Cooper’s article reaffirms what we know for more than a while-there is a clear ideological, political and ethical continuum between Israel and some of the so-called Jewish ‘anti’ Zionists (AKA AZZ -Anti Zionist Zionists).  

“In many, perhaps most, cases the motivation to publicly denounce Israel is the desire to fight antisemitism.” Cooper writes about his anti Zionist brothers, confirming  the theses I developed in The Wandering Who. In most cases, Jewish anti Zionists are mainly concerned with Jewish tribal interests. They aren’t exactly Palestinian solidarity activists or even ordinary humanists. They just want Jews to look slightly better. I guess that for them, the Shoa in Palestine is a secondary matter.

Of Exclusivity, Loyalty and Liberation of Palestine

Jewish-Only Organizations . . . A Closer Look

Due to recent events of alienation and/or expulsion of members of Palestine Solidarity Movement, including Palestinians, it became more and more evident that there are elements in the Solidarity Movement who continue to stir up friction and splits amongst activists, that leads to alienation of many genuine activists and even exiled Palestinians.

Such elements also continue to cause distraction by filtering information to prevent members from understanding the role of the larger Jewish community world wide in influencing their respective governments to support “Israel”, and to prevent from understanding the impact of the presence of racist ideology on the standpoints and attitudes of the Jewish communities, and the implication of such ideology on Palestinians;


This state of affairs should raise alarm to anyone interested in Justice and Peace, that means anyone who works to put an end to decades of Palestinian suffering, and its slow genocide, and to anyone who understands that such high objectives require promoting the Liberation of Palestine.

It is also apparent that many of these destabilizing elements are simultaneously members of OTHER organizations, which membership approval operates through exclusivity, and restricted only to people of Jewish background.

Moreover, it is manifest that many of these Jewish-only organizations declare publicly that their prime motive for their activism is out of concern for the welfare of “Israel” and the “Israeli society”. Worse, some of these organizations do not even conceal that their criticism of “Israel” is done out of “love” and loyalty to this criminal entity. Simply put, they criticise and condemn "Israel" primarily to protect and help it thrive and survive.

Muslim Brotherhood: peace with Israel isn't binding

http://rt.com/files/news/israel-egypt-military-threat-841/burn-cairo-demolish-israeli.jpgGilad Atzmon: According the Israeli Ynet,  Rashad al-Bayoumi, a leader within the  Muslim Brotherhood says that the Egyptian Party won't recognize Israel under any circumstances, and might put up peace treaty with 'Zionist entity' up to referendum. 'Israel is enemy entity'. According to Ynet, al-Bayoumi expressed those views in the Arabic Al-Hayat newspaper.  

"Is rising to power conditional on recognizing Israel?" al-Bayoumi wondered. "That's out of the question, no matter what the situation is. On no condition will we recognize Israel. It is an enemy entity, an exploiting, criminal occupier."

According to al-Bayoumi, no member of the Muslim Brotherhood will ever meet with Israelis. "I won't allow myself to sit down with a criminal," he said. "We won't cooperate with Israel in any situation."

EMERGENCY: Zakaria Zubeidi Under Threat

THIS IS A SERIOUS EMERGENCY. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN AND MAKE WHATEVER CALLS YOU CAN.

- Zakaria Zubeidi's safety must be guaranteed
- Zakaria Zubeidi's whereabouts must be revealed
- Reasons for revocation of amnesty
- Protest completely unprovoked and unwarranted attack on people associated with The Freedom Theatre

Cofounder of The Freedom Theatre Zakaria Zubeidi's Amnesty Revoked: Please Read:

Zakaria Zubeidi one of the founders of the Freedom Theatre and leaders of the resistance under threat

Today, 29th December 2011 the co-founder, avid supporter and mentor of the Freedom Theatre, Zakaria Zubeidi, has been told by the Palestinian Authority that his amnesty is being revoked by the Israeli authorities. This amnesty agreement, granted in 2007 by the Israeli Prime Minister's office was in return for Zubeidi's ending of armed resistance. The amnesty agreement allowed him to remain safe inside the Palestinian Authority district of Jenin where the Israeli military would not seek to arrest or assassinate him.

After having been the leader of the armed resistance during the second Intifada, Zubeidi has since 2006 committed to cultural, non-violent resistance through theatre. He founded The Freedom Theatre together with Juliano Mer Khamis, who was assassinated earlier this year by unknown assailants. The Freedom Theatre is a cultural venue in Jenin Refugee Camp, that uses the arts as a form of resistance against occupation.
