I learned from the Jewish Chronicle today that Berkshire Jews are “horrified” because yours truly has “challenged Holocaust denial legislation.” What caused the present outbreak of Pre Traumatic Stress? Apparently, my Sunday book launch at the Reading International Festival.
Read MoreDuke Ellington's exquisite "In A Sentimental Mood," the first track on their memorable team-up album for Impulse! is here given a luscious treatment with the subtle addition of strings. "Invitation," the Coltrane version of which was found on Standard Coltrane a 1962 Prestige release but actually recorded in 1958. Like that version it's given a slow ballad treatment with Atzmon on sultry tenor augmented by the string quartet.

In order to receive Hurricane Harvey assistance in the city of Dickinson, Texas one has to agree not to boycott Israel...
Read MoreNo one exemplifies the sickening attitude of the Jerusalemite better than Mondoweiss, a Jewish progressive outlet openly dedicated to the concealment of Jewish power and the political impact of Jewish culture. Mondweiss’ editorial staff seems utterly confused by Miko Peled’s momentary endorsement of universal freedom of speech.
Read MoreIt is clear that in the new narrative, citizenship is biologically and not geographically determined. It seems odd that so many in the West who claim to oppose racism, so easily accept a race-based system of ethnic cleansing.
Read MoreFinally, the 2012 documentary Gilad and all that Jazz made it to youtube. You can now enjoy this great film by Golriz Kolahi. You can meet Gilad's bitterest adversaries and judge for yourself whether they have something to offer. You can listen to Gilad's music, meet the OHE, the Blockheads, Robert Wyatt, his family and obviously learn about Gilad's thoughts.
Read MoreI’ve been an admirer of Coltrane’s music since re-discovering his work when I was in College twelve years ago, and with The Spirit of Trane, it’s one of the most emotional, beautiful, and touching tributes to the master that Gilad and the Orient House ensemble brings here. As he once said again about music, “I think music is an instrument. It can create the initial thought patterns that can change the thinking of people.”
Read MoreLesher proclaims that he won’t tolerate attacks on his"religious life just because they come wrapped in a Palestinian flag.” This seems to be a legitimate demand. I wouldn’t like to see anyone interfering with Lesher or anyone else’s religious life. Interestingly, none of the quotes in Lesher’s article posited any form of interference or threat to Lesher’s ‘religious life.’

Conflation is usually understood as the merging of two or more distinct sets of information, texts, ideas, etc. into one. Does this concept apply to Zionism and Judaism? Are Zionism and Judaism distinct terms? Are Jews and Zionism categorically different from each other?
Read MoreThe following article was published on this site in May 2013. In recent weeks we have witnessed some anti Zionist rabbinical Jews outraged by the attempt to equate Judaism and Zionism. I plan to write on the topic extensively but a brief look at this 1942 rabbinical affirmation of Zionism is rather revealing:
Read MoreHow did America manage to dismiss the prophecy of Henry Ford and Richard Herrnstein? In this talk Gilad Atzmon attempts to identify the core elements that led to the current dystopia: ID Politics, tyranny of correctness, New Left's biologism, Cultural Marxism and more.
Read MoreOf course I have never joined the Labour Party as it is a treacherous political institution. But it does make me giggle to witness the Labour Party expel, one after another, loathsome Jewish crypto Zionists. I am referring to those who for years have collaborated with the most notorious Hasbara merchants, and who accuse those who support the Palestinians of anti-Semitism for criticising Jewish political power and Jewish ID politics.
Read MoreI have just come across this video from 1986. I was playing Klezmer touring the USA. I was planning to stay in Berklee School of Music. I learned these three Jewish tunes 2 days before the tour begun.

What the Labour Jews mean by 'freedom of speech on Israel' has little to do with freedom, speech or freedom of speech. What they mean is that a few Labour Jews should be the ones who define the boundaries of freedom to criticise Israel in accordance with their understanding of Jewish interests. Wimborne Idrissi calls it ‘giving a kosher stamp.’
Read MoreIn this Berlin talk (June 2017) I elaborateon identitarian politics being a cancerous disaster at the core of our current dystopia. I delve into ID politics' intellectual and political roots: the New Left, cultural Marxism and the meaning of fascism. I also spoke about philosophy of history and German past in particular.
