Jewish identity is tied up with some of the most difficult and contentious issues of today. The purpose in this book is to open many of these issues up for discussion. Since Israel defines itself openly as the ‘Jewish State’, we should ask what the notions of ’Judaism’, ‘Jewishness’, ‘Jewish culture’ and ‘Jewish ideology’ stand for. Gilad examines the tribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the ‘holocaust religion’; the meaning of ‘history’ and ‘time’ within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even within the Jewish left. He questions what it is that leads Diaspora Jews to identify themselves with Israel and affiliate with its politics. The devastating state of our world affairs raises an immediate demand for a conceptual shift in our intellectual and philosophical attitude towards politics, identity politics and history.
The book is available on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk

Munir and the C.R.O.E team are engaged in a crucial battle and I will do everything within my capacity to support them. Those who follow my work will notice a change in my tone. I really do not hold back anymore. I pretty much say it all. And I am going to upset many more people in the near future.

Gilad Atzmon, who will be performing tonight in Madison, Wisconsin, says the loss of freedom in today's world is being driven not just by overt power grabs, but by a sort of Orwellian self-censorship that is pervasive on the left. His latest project is a re-reading of George Orwell - who, Gilad says, saw it all coming.

By Samir Abed-Rabbo: Zionism
Introduction:
Israeli apologists would like us to believe that Zionism, the political ideology guiding Israeli policies and practices since its establishment of Israel in Palestine in 1948, is God’s chosen national movement for the re-establishment and maintenance of a “Jewish homeland” in “biblical lands”. Moreover, they want us to accept that Zionism is Judaism and that present-day Israel is the Jewish “promised land”. As a religion, Judaism considers the return of Jews to Palestine before the coming of the Messiah a sacrilege.
God has never been involved in real estate transactions; neither has the Bible ever been considered a source of International Law governing relations between modern states nor a reliable source of human history or archeology. If the world were to be reestablished according to the Bible, the United States, Europe and most modern states would not exist. Furthermore, there are no eyewitness accounts or scientific evidence linking current Israeli Jews to the ancient Hebrews. Some historians and archeologists even dispute that Jews ever had a significant presence in the area.
A Brief Analysis:
Israel was established by a European racist and settler colonial ideology through the use of carefully and deliberately fabricated myths. Unlike classical settler colonialism, Zionism and Zionists do not maintain an umbilical cord to a mother European country nor plans to exploit local natives and resources. Zionism and Zionists argue for close cooperation with disposable surrogate superpower(s), complete control of resources, and the expulsion of the indigenous population, the Palestinians. Zionism and Zionists claim that Palestine was desolate and the Palestinians never existed. The clear motive behind the myths is to justify the establishment of Israel in Palestine as a Jewish state and the gathering of Jews therein. Myths that are often repeated give ways to delusional mindset. Zionism and Zionists concluded that Palestine will become a home for the Jewish state regardless of the wishes of the Palestinians and in order to achieve this objective, the inhabitants will be ethnically cleansed. There are two main lies that the Zionists regurgitate: Palestine was desolate and there is no such a thing as Palestinians. Was Palestine desolate? Did the Palestinians exist in history?

It’s been exactly a year since I was last in Gaza.
In that time another terrible attack has been unleashed by the Israeli military and government on the trapped Palestinian populace.
On my previous visit, months after Egyptians elected the Muslim Brotherhood to power, there was little sign to the visitor of any real easing of the punitive behavior of officials at the Rafah crossing, towards Palestinians, wishing to travel to and from their homeland.
What changes would I see this time?
The team I work with at Peace 2012 stack our boxes of stationary and children’s toys onto trolleys at the dreaded crossing. ‘Dreaded’ because it has for decades been a symbol of the Mubarak regime’s ruthless willingness to carry out the dirty job of persecuting Palestinians at the behest of the Israeli government.
I remember feeling dumbfounded on my first visit to Gaza in 2006.

Read our interview with Lauren Booth during her visit to Cairo, Egypt: |
On hearing Gazan’s mutter bitterly that it was ‘better’ to fall into the hands of the Israeli soldiers, than Mubarak's boot boys. ’You expect things from your enemy but the violence of your brothers - this hurts in another way’ I heard many times.
Outside the Egyptian terminal, the same anarchy as always - a sea of clawing hands grabbing at our cases and boxes. Not to help us, certainly not! The hands here hijack your bags, walk them a hundred paces then menace you into paying as much as 60 US dollars, forcing a loud, near violent exchange, before we give up shouting and empty our wallets - of much much less! Same old, same old!
 |
| Instead of a mocking faux interrogation (as in years gone by), today, all is tea and coffee pleasantness. Assurances are given that Palestine is at the heart of every Arab and every Muslim. |
I am hoarse with shouting; ‘this is NOT Islam’ to the bemused, couldn’t-care-less, muggers.

In the last few weeks we have witnessed more than a few humanists abandoning the Palestinian solidarity sinking dingy.
Veteran BBC celebrity Alan Hart, the person who devoted the last 3 decades to the Palestinian cause and provided us with some spectacular analysis, decided to call it a day. A week later we learned from Haaretz, that Prof’ Norman Finkelstein, possibly one of the most profound academic contributors to the discourse, was also tired of ‘Israeli bashing’. Stuart Littlewood, probably the boldest pro Palestinian writer in Britain, admitted that he is also close to take a similar decision. Hart, Littlewood and Finkelstein expressed their dismay for more than a while and their concerns, although varied, have been shared by many, at least in part, including your truly.
But our humanists are not the only one to manifest fatigue. Even the AZZs are drifting away now. Apparently UK leading tribal operator Tony Greenstein has also given up.
Using his favourite colour (red) to announce his departure yesterday, Tony he wrote on his blog “As Anti-semitism in the Palestine Solidarity Movement has all but vanished the purpose of this blog has become redundant”
This is indeed a sad day. Tony was my favourite cyber stalker and he will be missed. I would love to use the opportunity to not only wish him the best but also to thank him from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work he invested into promoting my work and helping to make The Wandering Who into a best seller.
Tony makes it pretty clear what led him to his regrettable decision. According to him, the Judeification of the Palestinian Solidarity has been completed. To a certain extent Tony is correct: the actions of UK PSC expelling Palestinians, and monitoring the BDS changing its goal statement in a clandestine manner just to appease the Jews suggest clear Judeification. Watching Electronic Abunimah and BDS harassing truth tellers in accordance with Biblical Hebraic herem culture is another serious concern.

Introduction by Gilad Atzmon
Every so often we come across a secular Jewish ‘anti’ Zionist’ who argues that Zionism is not Judaism and vice versa. Interestingly enough, I have just come across an invaluable text that illuminates this question from a rabbinical perspective. Apparently back in 1942, 757 American Rabbis added their names to a public pronouncement titled ‘Zionism an Affirmation of Judaism’. This Rabbinical rally for Zionism was declared at the time “the largest public pronouncement in all Jewish history.”
Today, we tend to believe that world Jewry’s transition towards support for Israel followed the 1967 war though some might argue that already in 1948, American Jews manifested a growing support for Zionism. However, this rabbinical pronouncement proves that as early as 1942, the American Jewish religious establishment was already deeply Zionist. And if this is not enough, the rabbis also regarded Zionism as the ‘implementation’ of Judaism. Seemingly, already then, the peak of World War two, the overwhelming majority of American Rabbis regarded Zionism, not only as fully consistent with Judaism, but as a “logical expression and implementation of it.”
In spite of the fact that early Zionist leaders were largely secular and the East European Jewish settler waves were driven by Jewish socialist ideology, the rabbis contend that “Zionism is not a secularist movement. It has its origins and roots in the authoritative religious texts of Judaism.
