The Naked Congressman Cover-Up

Is Washington Deaf As Well as Criminal?
19 August 2012 | The morons who rule the american sheeple are not only dumb and blind, they are deaf as well. The ears of the american “superpower” only work when the Israeli prime minister, the crazed Netanyahu, speaks. Then Washington hears everything and rushes to comply.

Fascist Jews in France to stop!

Alison Weir: How the "Special Relationship" was created
1 July 2012 | While many people are led to believe that US support for Israel is driven by the American establishment and U.S. national interests, the facts don’t support this theory. The reality is that for decades U.S. experts opposed Israel and its founding movement. They were simply outmaneuvered and eventually replaced.

A strategy of liberation requires emancipation
21 May 2012 | While Gilad Atzmon’s book "The Wandering Who?" is the subject of virulent attacks from what Atzmon calls "anti-Zionist Zionists", this article published by Nahida Izzat in 2010 appears more relevant than ever - Silvia Cattori

Postcolonial Theory, Whiteness & Palestine
18 May 2012 | Gilad Atzmon argues that Palestinian activists – indeed, everyone who strives for liberation, equality and justice – must ditch the circular, sterile post-colonial discourse that permeates leftist thinking and "deconstruct Jewish texts and Jewish cultural discourse with the same vigour that Edward Said deconstructed the European canon, whether it was Charles Dickens or Lord Balfour”.

Solidarity and Realpolitik: My Response to Jeff Halper
5 May 2012 | Some years ago, I was on a panel with three men, Jeff Halper among them, at a Sabeel conference in Pennsylvania. Each panelist was asked to give their vision for a solution to the ’Palestine/Israel conflict’. Because I was sitting at the end of the table, I was the last to speak.

Mazin Qumsiyeh on Gilad Atzmon’s book "The Wandering Who?"
3 May 2012 | About nine years ago, I entertained the notion of writing a book on “group identities” so that I can understand these concepts that cause a lot of the ills of society. Both World War I and World War II emanated from interpretations of nationalism (a group identity) and the conflict in Palestine mostly emanates from another group identity called Zionism. The horrors of the Crusaders came from the group identity of Christendom. There is an issue now with the notions of (Political) “Islamism" ala Osama Bin Laden. I am still exploring and reading on this issue from different authors and thus was intrigued to read the book by Gilad Atzmon (*) that addresses this concept within Jewish communities.

Paul Eisen in conversation with Gilad Atzmon
2 May 2012 | When I met Paul Eisen back in 2001, he was the most respected Palestinian solidarity activist in Britain. At the time Eisen was the UK director of Deir Yassin Remembered (DYR) – an organization which memorialises the seminal massacre of the Palestinian villagers of Deir Yassin.

The open society and its enemies
25 April 2012 | Silvia Cattori’s interview with novelist Jacob Cohen (*) discussing his book « Le printemps des sayanim » (The Sayanim Spring) prompted a staggering reaction by the national board of the Union juive française pour la paix (UJFP) who denounces Jacob Cohen’s comments "for displaying a guilty indulgence towards Atzmon" (**) and declares it “has decided to suspend him from the UJFP until the next general assembly, where his case will be examined and a statutory decision will be taken as to whether or not to exclude him”. Gilad Atzmon, who has also been inculpated by the UJFP, responds to its declaration, the import of which takes us back to the time of the Inquisition. - Silvia Cattori

Activists who talk like zionists continue to betray Palestine
23 April 2012 | Introduction by Gilad Atzmon: five weeks after the publication of the unfortunate call to disavow me, support keeps flooding in. The following is Greg Felton’s deconstruction of the statement (largely associated with Ali Abunimah). Greg is one of my favorite writers, his books: The Host and The Parasite and Exploding Middle East Myths: 15 Years of Fighting Zionist Propaganda are both must read.

Ali Abunimah on History & Culture
5 April 2012 | In the clip below I elaborate on Ali Abunimah’s attitude towards history and culture. I contend that since Israel defines itself as the Jewish State and its tanks are decorated with Jewish symbols, we are entitled to ask ourselves who are the Jews and what is Judaism and Jewishness?

The Holy Cow of the Palestinian Cause: Gilad Atzmon versus the Palestinian Establishment
3 April 2012 | The campaign against Gilad Atzmon is totally not only unjustifiable but also unacceptable . The great plight of Palestinians is not only the usurping of Palestine but unfortunately the usurping of the Palestinian cause itself that turned the plight of some people into a resourceful means for others among them so called leaders and so called militants and employees and activists and politicians and intellectuals and academicians and you name it.

Open letter by Ali Abunimah has come as a shock to many people
31 March 2012 | The recent open letter Granting No Quarter: A Call for the Disavowal of the Racism and Antisemitism of Gilad Atzmon, apparently written by Ali Abunimah, has come as a shock to many people, including yours truly. Not only have the Zionists colonized Palestine and subjected them to a permanent campaign of genocide, but as anyone who has been paying attention knows, they have colonized the Western democracies, turning them into obedient puppets. Now it appears that they have also colonized the Palestine Solidarity movement.

Permission to examine “Jewishness”
18 March 2012 | I played a concert with saxophonist/author Gilad Atzmon in Geneva, New York last night, a benefit for the Deir Yassin Remembered scholarship fund. This morning we happened to meet before breakfast in the hallway of our motel. He said, “I have to show you something. You won’t believe this.” We entered his room, he opened his lap-top, and set his browser on a link to a sort of a treatise, a declaration, prepared by Ali Abunimah and signed by various activists, entitled “Palestinian Writers, Activists, Disavow Racism and Anti-Semitism of Gilad Atzmon”. What has Gilad Atzmon done to inspire this very extreme action? He has examined, and written about, the issue of “Jewishness”, about HIS “Jewishness”, and about mine.

The Washington Report is convinced that Atzmon’s interview tonight by Prof. Norton Mezvinsky couldn’t come at a better time.

Obama, AIPAC And The Rest of United States
7 March 2012 | Yesterday at AIPAC annual conference, the American president had to go out of his way to appease his Jewish crowd. He used every trick in the book, he even peppered his talk with some Yiddish sporadic words and he did it all just to justify his decision not to launch a World War as yet.
