Hot Off The Press: Mandela received weapons training from Mossad

Nelson Mandela

Haartez reported a few hours ago that, "Nelson Mandela,  was trained in weaponry and sabotage by Mossad operatives in 1962, a few months before he was arrested in South Africa. During his training, Mandela expressed interest in the methods of the Haganah pre-state underground and was viewed by the Mossad as leaning toward communism."

Haaretz continues,  "a letter sent from the Mossad to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem reveals that Mandela underwent military training by Mossad operatives in Ethiopia during this period. These operatives were unaware of Mandela’s true identity. The letter, classified top secret, was dated October 11, 1962 – about two months after Mandela was arrested in South Africa, shortly after his return to the country."

Gaza drowning …and under power and media blackout

Photo

Photos and updates from Gaza paint one of the most dire scenarios the Palestinians locked in the Strip have faced, Israeli bombing campaigns aside.

For over a month Palestinians in Gaza have endured 18 or more hours/day power outages. Now, with unusually heavy rains, cold temperatures, Israeli-released torrents of water (suddenly opening of dams along the border with Gaza), and even snow, Gaza is under water, under siege, and people are suffering freezing conditions.

According on one international in Gaza, a baby has frozen to death in one of Gaza’s refugee camps.

Omar Ghraieb, from Gaza, writes:

“44 days without electricity! New emergency schedule started yesterday, electricity hours r downsized to 3 instead of 6, per day! Leaving Palestinians in Gaza with a 21+ hours of power outage a day. Add to this the horrible weather, constant rain, floods, wind, thunder & lightening!”

Israel ‘opens dams’ flooding Gaza Strip near Deir al Balah

Dec 13, 2013

“The Gaza Government’s Disaster Response Committee announced late Friday that Israeli authorities had opened up dams just east of the Gaza Strip, flooding numerous residential areas in nearby villages within the coastal territory.

The Gaza Strip is currently under a state of emergency due to severe weather conditions caused by a historic storm front moving south across the Levant.

The Sycophantic Palestinian Solidarity Movement

By Gilad Atzmon

In the Palestinian Solidarity Movement we really love celebrities – those famous, rather special people who write great books, play musical instruments  (drums included) or even just think great thoughts. We like those people to stand up for Palestine and denounce ‘Zionism’, ‘Israeli Colonialism’ and ‘Apartheid.’  We love them  - as long as they don’t say what they really think. 

Here’s the problem. Celebrities are often famous and successful because they’re clever and independent. Unlike our  progressive, dysfunctional activists, who in most cases lives on income support and repeat our ‘party line’, the celebrity is a confident, career-oriented, self-sufficient subject and, because of their capacity to make autonomous decisions, he or she is assertive and thriving . In short, the activist and the celebrity are made of very different stuff – so a collision is inevitable.

Time after time it happens to us in the Palestinian Solidarity Movement. We manage to pull in a great human being, we tell them what to say and they comply. For a while, they call to boycott Israel and, like parrots, they repeat our slogans. But then, against all odds, these damn, self-centred stars start to speak their minds.

Gilad Atzmon & The Orient House Ensemble, Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton, 07/12/2013.

Atzmon's performances blend strong writing and awesome instrumental technique with a high degree of professionalism, all this leavened by a healthy dose of humour. 

Gilad Atzmon & The Orient House Ensemble,  Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton, 07/12/2013.


In January 2013 Gilad Atzmon released “Songs Of The Metropolis”, the latest album featuring his regular working band the Orient House Ensemble. Each track is dedicated to a different location, in the main the great cities of the world, but there are paeans to more modest settlements too. In many respects it’s Atzmon’s most mature album to date, stylistically diverse and less directly confrontational and overtly political than some of its predecessors. Instead it’s more of a celebration of the lifestyle of the globe trotting professional musician as Atzmon explains
“every night I fall asleep in a different town and most towns have their own colour, their own sound, their own song”.

I reviewed the album back in January 2013 and also reported on an excellent live show that took place at Black Mountain Jazz in Abergavenny, just one of a string of dates that formed part of an extensive tour that not only promoted the album but also celebrated Gilad’s fiftieth birthday and the twentieth anniversary of his arrival in the UK from his native Israel.  More recently in 2013 Atzmon has been busy with a host of other projects and collaborations including playing on and producing Blockheads bassist Norman Watt Roy’s début solo album “Faith And Grace”.

Kevin Barrett: In which I apply for Jewish status

How come Gilad's on the S.H.I.T. list and I'm not?!

How come Gilad’s on the S.H.I.T. list and I’m not?!

The Palestinians are second-class citizens in their own homeland.

I’m starting to understand how they feel.

If I were Jewish, I would dominate the media, largely control the US Congress, and completely own Hollywood. If I were Jewish, nobody could criticize me – or my tribal settler colony in Occupied Palestine – without being labeled anti-Semitic and forced to wear a “never work in this town again” yellow star.

If I were Jewish, I could make sure that anybody who questions MY holocaust gets locked up the second they set foot in Europe, while I remain free to question all the other holocausts. I could extort my share of the billions of dollars generated by the “no business like Shoah business” – one of the most lucrative rackets on earth, so beautifully described in Norman Finkelstein’s The Holocaust Industry.

If I were Jewish, I would be a member of a group that earns – on the average – nearly twice the annual income of non-Jewish Americans.

But most importantly of all, if I were Jewish, I could join the hundreds of brave and brilliant people on Masada2000′s S.H.I.T. list of the “Self-Hating and Israel-Threatening.” The generous folks at Masada2000 have kindly compiled a list of incredibly cool people who have the vision to see through the toxic smog of Zionist BS that we breathe every day, and the guts to stand up and speak out.

Roger Waters Tells The Truth Against All Odds

Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: The Jewish hate-site algemeiner.com latest target is veteran rocker Roger Waters.  His crime? He has told the truth about Jewish power and has compared Israel with Nazi Germany. Specifically, in a recent interview Waters dared to refer to the mighty Jewish Lobby and its impact silencing opposition to the Jewish State.

It goes without saying that the Israelis and their tribal operators are not happy with Waters exercising his freedom to think and to speak but I have a feeling that BDS movement, now totally dominated by liberal Zionists and funded by George Soros’ Open Society, is also slightly embarrassed by Waters’ frankness.

In the last few years, BDS Movement has invested a lot of energy concealing the truth regarding the Jewish State and curtailing any criticism of it. So, I ask myself, will Ali Abunimah, Joseph Massad and  Omar Barghouti, once again bow to Jewish pressure and call for the disavowal of the Pink Floyd hero? Will Abunimah advise Waters that whenever he wants to say the J word, he should instead say ‘Zionist’. Let’s hope not.

Yet, one question remains: How is it possible that a rocker and a jazz artist are exploring those truths that prominent Palestinian activists are not even brave enough to contemplate? I guess that as long as activism is in a state of utter paralysis, the search for beauty is the only true liberation.

Just days after defending his use of an inflatable pig emblazoned with a Star of David as a concert prop, rock star Roger Waters lamented the “power” of “the Jewish lobby,” and compared Israeli government policy to that of the Nazis, in an interview with CounterPunch magazine.

Israeli-born saxophonist and clarinettist Gilad Atzmon has been one of the most engaging, exciting, and often unpredictable artists on the scene since he settled in London in 1994. 

Though he has often appeared in the West Midlands with some fine regional rhythm sections, Atzmon is usually heard at his best with his own band, the Orient House Ensemble.

They are on a tour to celebrate Gilad’s 50th birthday as well as to promote a new album, Songs Of The Metropolis, and on Saturday they performed to a packed house in the Jazz At The Arena series.

The saxophonist appeared with two of the band’s regular members, pianist Frank Harrison and bassist Yaron Stavi, but drummer Eddie Hick was unavailable. His absence was more than made up for by the appearance of the brilliant Asaf Sirkis, the group’s original drummer. It was a delightful reunion.

Underpinned by this rock-solid rhythm section, Atzmon’s alto and soprano saxophones and clarinet hovered, swooped and dived like birds of prey.

The Meaning Of The Jewish State

The following article appeared today on the Israeli/UK Hasbara outlet Harry's Place

Donning The Yellow Star

Tom Gross reports that the pianist, Evgeny Kissin, has chosen to adopt Israeli citizenship:

On Saturday evening at the Mishkenot Sha’ananim arts center in Jerusalem, he will receive his Israeli passport from another prominent Soviet-born Jew, Natan Sharansky (who, of course, spent years in solitary confinement in the gulag for saying he wanted to live in freedom). Evgeny will give a recital next Monday at Binyanei Ha’Uma, Jerusalem’s largest indoor venue.

This is what he says:

I am a Jew, Israel is a Jewish state – and since long ago I have felt that Israel, although I do not live there, is the only state in the world with which I can fully identify myself, whose case, problems, tragedies and very destiny I perceive to be mine.

“If I, as a human being and artist represent anything in the world, it is my Jewish people, and therefore Israel is the only state on our planet which I want to represent with my art and all my public activities, no matter where I live.

“When Israel’s enemies try to disrupt concerts of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra or the Jerusalem Quartet, I want them to come and make troubles at my concerts, too: because Israel’s case is my case, Israel’s enemies are my enemies, and I do not want to be spared of the troubles which Israeli musicians encounter when they represent the Jewish State beyond its borders."

Atzmon and O'keefe look into the terminology that diverts the attention from the crimes committed in Palestine.

O'keefe and Atzmon also look into BDS, infiltration, George Soros, Liberal Zionism, NGO, Civil Society and the transformation of nations into a bunch of beggars.

Gilad Atzmon on Press TV: Israeli lobby a ‘threat’ to Western politics

Israel and its powerful lobby in Washington D.C. are considered a risk to “our Western politics,” said a London-based political activist on Monday, in a reference to Tel Aviv’s opposition to a newly-reached nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 - the five permanent members of the UN Security council plus Germany.
People around the world start to realize that the price we are paying "for the Jewish lobby’s interfering with our Western politics is severe,” said Gilad Atzmon in a phone interview with Press TV.

After Iran and the six world powers reached an interim deal in Geneva on Nov. 24 over Tehran’s nuclear energy program, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fiercely opposed the agreement calling it “weak and desperate.”

Netanyahu even appealed to members of the US Congress as negotiations were underway to kill the Geneva deal, which is set to ease some of sanctions imposed on Tehran.
