Omar – Film Review by Gilad Atzmon





One of the most important Palestinian feature films ever, Omar is, to date, the deepest expose of the diabolical nature of the Israeli occupation and the inhuman situation imposed on Palestinians by the Jewish State. It also throws light on the tragic and depressing Palestinian struggle against a sophisticated, demonic enemy - an on-going battle that so far has led nowhere.


In his latest film, Palestinian director Hany Abu Assad sets Omar (Adam Bakri), a young freedom fighter in an impossible, yet common, Palestinian dilemma, caught in a devastating triangle between his patriotic commitment, romance and the omnipresent Jewish State – a brutal, Orwellian, Big Brother that sees everything, knows everything, sets people against each other and controls everything through a network of collaborators even within the resistance.

Once captured by the IDF and being subject to some horrendous physical and mental torture by Israeli intelligence, Omar is set into a hellish scenario. He eventually manages to buy the Israeli’s trust, he lets them believe that he is willing to cooperate.   At that moment Omar pretty much seals his fate. He is destined to lose everything.


Though we, comfortable in our cinema seats, know that he never compromised his commitment to his people, one by one, the Palestinians around him, led to believe he is a traitor, they turn their backs on him. Losing the love of his life to his friend - clearly a collaborator - he is ostracised by fellow warriors and their families. Omar, a Palestinian patriot, becomes a pawn in an evil Israeli game. As his situation deteriorates and his tragedy unfolds in front of our eyes, he remains aware of it all, and we, who witness this emerging tragedy, also can see no way out. 


Agent Rami (Waleed Zuaiter), the veritable ‘good cop’ is the Israeli intelligence operator who recruits Omar. He appears to be humane, he never uses physical pressure, he also has his own family matters to handle, wife, kid etc’. But all those ‘humane’ symptoms are there to cover a deeply sinister and hideous character. Rami is in fact a cold blood Israeli monster who shatters the lives of others in a mass scale. He systematically makes empathy and human affection into a highly functional instruments of total abuse.

The 50 Most Influential Jews – Not a single humanist on the list

[image error] By Gilad Atzmon


Yesterday The Jerusalem Post published its “list of the world’s 50 most influential Jews,” those who in one way or another have “worked tirelessly for the improvement of humanity and, in doing so, have made their mark on history.”


The truth is that the list does not exactly fit the Post’s description of it. Not a single humanist is listed; instead we find a catalogue of Jewish war criminals, financiers, gambling tycoons, ethnic cleanser advocates, a Holocaust fraudster, a few Rabbis with minimal importance even within the Jewish world and one Ethiopian entertainer.


I guess that for those who are still desperate to find a Jewish humanist, Masada 2000’s S.H.I.T List is the place to find them.


The J Post’s list is headed by US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, “who in his position in the cabinet is vital to shaping President Barack Obama’s policy.” Lew is followed by Janet Yellen, “another American Jew who made history this year when she became the first woman ever appointed chair of the Federal Reserve.” Apparently the 1st and 2nd ‘most influential Jews in the world’ are now taking care of American finance. Let’s hope that these ‘influential Jews’ know what they are doing because the last two influential Jews who ran the Federal Reserve left the world’s economy in ruin.

Paul Eisen in conversation with Gilad Atzmon

A very interesting informal and rather personal exchange between Eisen & Atzmon touching the most sensitive topics. I learned a lot from this exchange and I am sure that the followers of this site will be fascinated.

A Diplomatic Defeat to Israel and the Jewish Lobby

[image error] Is Jewish power falling apart?


Haaretz reported yesterday that  India, China and Turkey called on the international community to throw its support behind the new Palestinian government. Russia followed suit several hours later. European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton also issued a statement calling the formation of the unity government "an important step" the process of Palestinian reconciliation.


Ashton said: "we welcome the appointment of a government of independent personalities and the declaration by President Abbas that this new government is committed to the principle of the two state solution based on the 1967 borders, to the recognition of Israel's legitimate right to exist, to non-violence and to the respect of previous agreements," the statement read. "The EU's engagement with the new Palestinian government will be based on its adherence to these policies and commitments."

Press TV Correspondent Threatened by JDL


Press TV correspondent Joshua Blakeney was interviewed about an unpleasant email he had received from the Jewish Defence League. The JDL was described by the FBI as a "violent extremist organization" in a report entitled "Terrorism 200/2001". Blakeney vowed to continue "soldiering on" in his struggle to expose the pro-Zionist falsehoods of the political and journalistic establishment.

Soral, Dieudonné and Atzmon

Alimuddin Usmani interviews Gilad Atzmon


Alimuddin Usmani: Despite its portrayal as racist and anti-Semitic by some French politicians and the mainstream media your Lyon conference with Alain Soral on May 26th was a huge success. Six hundred peaceful people attended the event.  Tell us something about your impressions of this gathering.


Gilad Atzmon: Most of all, I was overwhelmed by the demography in the room. As I mentioned that evening, I have never witnessed such a diverse crowd. I guess that 30% of the people in the room were immigrants who see Soral and Egalitarian Reconciliation as the path to true Frenchness. So while the Left talks about ‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance,’ in spite of being  predominantly white and totally detached from the lower classes.  In the real world, it is Soral who is able to translate diversity into a popular awareness on both social and political level. 


This leads me to reflect again on the distinction between dwelling and settlement. To dwell is to love your soil, to adore the sky above it and to cherish your culture with patriotic zeal. To settle, on the other hand, is to occupy a space, to consume, to take, but never to give back.  The people whom we met at the conference were clearly dwellers. Many of them are immigrants, yet they are French patriots. The notion of a settler is descriptive of the Jewish wondering attitude. It explains why the Jewish State is an ecological disaster, why its rivers are poisonous, and it also explains why Diaspora Jews are so often attached to the Zionist dream and the ‘promised land’ instead of loving their neighbors wherever they are.  Were the Zionist Jews dwelling in France, Britain or USA, they wouldn’t need the dream of returning to a phantasmic promised land.  Were the Jewish anti Zionists dwellers (as opposed to settlers), they would fight Zion within a universal campaign instead of from Jews-only political cells that are as racially exclusive as the Jewish State.


I was truly inspired by Alain Soral, by his undeniable charisma, but also by his political message and superb analysis.  It is rare to have the capacity to engage in a proper and lengthy intellectual exchange with a large crowd. Soral and I are progressing in parallel modes, we reach the same conclusions through totally different approaches. Very interesting indeed.  


Alimuddin Usmani: On May 27 you performed a jazz concert with Dieudonné at Théâtre de la main d'or. Was he flattered by the comparison you made between him and the Christ? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1uwhe4_gilad-atzmon-et-la-quenelle-de-dieudonne_webcam#from=embediframe


Gilad Atzmon: To start, let me say it was one the most exciting nights in my entire career. The place is a shrine to goodness and humanity. The positive and sincere vibration is something you detect as you enter the building, it is all-encompassing. Dieudonné  himself is a force of nature. I am not surprised that the Jewish ethnic campaigners and their subservient ‘Socialist’ Government are tormented by this man – he is genuine – he is bonded with existence and connected with the people. Dieudonné  possesses all of the Athenian qualities the Jerusalemites lack. He is not just Christ, he embodies the meaning of Christ, by means of laughter he transcends himself far beyond his plight.

Did the Jews Lose Europe?


By Gilad Atzmon


Following the surge of right wing parties in Europe’s Parliamentary election, Forward, the once-progressive Jewish outlet asks, “Have the Jews Lost Europe?”  The tone of this question implies that until just a few days ago, at least some Jews believed that Europe was, in part, a ‘Jewish property.’  Such views were not baseless; Jewish Lobbies have dominated British and French policies by means of aggressive  lobbying (CFI, LFI, CRIF etc’).


Following the European poll, Dave Rich, deputy director of the ultra Right Wing Jewish para-military Community Security Trust, is concerned. He detects a growing resentment of Jewish politics in Europe. His article in the Forward’s openly examines whether Jews have lost their grip on the European continent.  


Rich begins by quoting Israeli veteran concentration camp guard Jeffrey Goldberg.  “At what point,” asks Goldberg,  “do the Jews of America and the Jews of Israel tell the Jews of Europe that it might be time to get out?” Apparently, says Rich, “Goldberg is not the only one to have had this thought. In fact, according to a 2013 opinion poll …more than a quarter of Jews in the E.U. have considered emigrating at some point in the past five years, because in their own countries they do not feel safe as Jews.”


Rich is also upset by growing European opposition toward Jewish blood rituals such as shchita slaughter and Jewish orthodox circumcision, a horrid unhygienic religious ceremony in which a Rabbi sucks the blood from an infant’s wounded penis (Metzitzah B'Peh). Rich is worried that ‘neo Nazis’ within the European parliaments may scrutinize Jewish religious practices and culture.  


Rich may be correct, this kind of barbaric tribal blood ritual should have been banned ages ago. For some reason, our ‘Left’ and ‘Humanists’ failed to examine these morbid practices while at the same time their enthusiasm for human rights led them to ban the veil.
