The Jewish 'Philsopher'..
Why should the Arabs pay for crimes committed by Europeans, the Jewish 'philsopher' Bernard-Henri Lévy
provides the answer: 'the Arabs are Nazis'.
Not exactly Plato or Kant...

Report: Israeli apostate blamed for UK anti-Semitism
Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: The following Hasbara piece crowns my book and myself as the ultimate exponents of “a relatively new form of antisemitism injected into the anti-Zionist discourse” . The piece admits a Jewish political dedication to book burning and the author behind this piece is somehow desperate to silence me and my work. The Hasabra writer is also convinced that it is down to Jews to decide what Brits should read who should be featured in their media outlets.
Needless to say that any of my critics have yet to point at a single drop of antisemitsm, racism or an incitement of any kind of hatred in my entire work. I am indeed an opponent of Jewish politics and highly critical of Jewish power. However, I am clearly delighted to learn that Hasbara as well as a few Sabbath Goyim are devastated by my work. It seems the Hasbara man didn't find many followers in the BBC or in Manchester City Council. But he certainly regards Ali Abunimah and an ally.

Report: Israeli apostate blamed for UK anti-Semitism
An investigation into Judeophobia in Britain concludes that Jewish renegade and jazz saxophonist Gilad Atzmon is responsible for injecting a “relatively new form of antisemitism into anti-Zionist discourse” in the UK.
According to Antisemitic Discourse in Britain in 2011, published by the Community Security Trust, which monitors anti-Semitism in the UK, the apostate Israeli’s rancorous views are contributing to a climate of mistrust and hostility.
Thankfully, explicit anti-Semitism in British public life is rare, says the report. Nevertheless, anti-Semitic themes alleging Jewish conspiracy and power still exist within mainstream discourse about Israel and Zionism. This, claims the CST, is partly due to the nefarious writings of Atzmon, whose recent book The Wandering Who? A Study of Jewish Identity Politics is cited as an example of anti-Semitic discourse.
Atzmon, born in Tel Aviv and trained at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem, describes himself as a “proud self-hating Jew.” Now based in London, Atzmon has released over a dozen jazz albums. Atzmon is also a prolific opponent of Israel, Jews and Judaism. His conspiratorial articles have been published by a number of dubious media outlets, including Counterpunch, Al-Arab online, the Palestine Telegraph and Aljazeera.info.
The Wandering Who? was released in September 2011 by left-wing publisher Zero Books. It is packed with anti-Semitic rhetoric and is barely distinguishable from the worst Nazi propaganda (one of the chapter headings is “Swindler’s List”). The book is a litany of hatred and lies that blames Jewish bankers for two world wars and “one communist revolution.” Jews are also responsible, says Atzmon, for persuading the UK to attack Iraq in order to “erase one of the last pockets of Arab resistance to Zionism.” Jews, he asserts, have no origin in Palestine “whatsoever” and Israeli children who visit Auschwitz return home to “mimic SS barbarity.” And perhaps most shockingly, Atzmon states that one day people “may be bold enough” to argue that “Hitler was right after all.” This is just a small sample of the book’s outrageous claims.
A few months ago I tried to have all copies of The Wandering Who? removed from libraries in Manchester, which is home to Britain’s second-largest and fastest-growing Jewish community. But because the book “has not incurred penalties under the law,” the city council says “it should not be excluded from libraries on any moral, political, religious or racist ground alone to satisfy any sectional interest.” Apparently, Manchester city council believe that the book is a legitimate expression of “human experience and activity.” I will, of course, try again to have all copies removed from the city’s libraries on the grounds that such blatant anti-semitism does not serve the public interest and may actually incite hatred or violence against the Jewish community.

Press TV: US isolated by vote against Palestinian bid at UN
Political commentator Gilad Atzmon believes that the United States isolated itself from the rest of the world by voting against Palestine at the UN General Assembly.
“In spite of American relentless efforts to pressure other nations to oppose the Palestinian bid, they failed completely. America is actually paying a heavy price for Jewish lobby intervening with its politics and I think it’s a wake-up call for America,” he told Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Saturday.
The UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to recognize Palestine as a non-member observer state on Thursday.
However, it was a diplomatic defeat for the U.S. and Israel which voted against the upgrade. In all, 138 countries voted in favor, 9 voted against and 41 others abstained.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, branded the move "counter-productive", and the State Department warned the status change could lead to a reduction of U.S. economic support for the Palestinians.
"Today's unfortunate and counter-productive resolution places further obstacles in the path to peace. That is why the United States voted against it," Rice said.
Fresh off the vote against Palestinian statehood bid, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta reiterated Thursday that the U.S. ties to Israel were “stronger than any time in history” and that Washington remained committed to Israel.

The End of Jewish Power
By Gilad AtzmonIsrael suffered a humiliating defeat at The UN yesterday. The nations of the world stood up and said NO to the Jewish state - NO to Israeli occupation, NO to Israeli human rights abuse, NO to Jewish racism. In effect, they stood up and confessed to serious Zio-fatigue.
Despite Jewish success in constantly reminding Europeans of their tormented past, Europe yesterday delivered itself of its guilt and Israel’s European allies such as Germany, France, Britain and Italy also delivered a clear messages to Israel – they are right out of patience. This is a very good news indeed.
But interestingly, this united opposition to Israel is not in response the Israeli strength. On the contrary, it is actually a reaction to Israeli weakness. In the last few months we have seen the complete and final eradication of the famed Israeli power of deterrence. For months, Israel gave the impression that it was ready and willing to attack Iran nuclear facilities, only to have to admit, even to itself, that it lacked both the means and guts to do so. Israel then launched a lethal attack on the people of Gaza. It called up 75.000 IDF reservists, only to find out that it didn’t have the stomach to face Palestinian resistance.

The Jewish 'Progressive' View Of The Israeli/Palestinian Conflict
The following video is a pretty impressive educational video produced by JVP (Jewish Voice for Peace)
I believe that the intentions behind this video are sincere.
It clearly points at Israel being Judeo-centric. Yet, it also focuses on Jewish victimhood - 'one group of refugees was seeking a shelter' (Jews) on the expense of another group (Palestinians). Our progressive JVPs probably forgot the embarrassing fact that Zionism predates the Shoa and even Nazism..
The video claims to seek peace, yet, it is not clear from the video how it can be achieved as long as Israel remains 'The Jewish State.' It also doesn't addresss the Palestinian Right of Return.
I guess that what we see here is an exemplary case of AZZ (Anti Zionist Zionist) operation-Soros for beginners. JVP wants Israel to remain The Jewish State, but it also wants it to improve a bit on equality.

Stop The Press: Stevie Wonder Is Not Blind After All!
According to reporting from the Daily Caller, fearing he will look as though he's taking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, singing/songwriting legend Stevie Wonder, has withdrawn from his starring role in a Dec. 6 Los Angeles benefit for the murderous IDF.
The truth, really, then, is that Wonder is taking sides. He is clearly against Israeli militarism. He sides with Justice i.e. Palestine
If the report proves accurate, it may as well mean that Jewish Power is falling apart.
It is about time...
