GILAD ATZMON: LONDON RIOTS AND THE BIG PICTURE

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

By Gilad Atzmon It is astonishing to find that the British press that is so quick to tell us about the 'true' nature and motivations behind each mass protest in the Arab world, is somehow intellectually lame in its attempt to grasp their own huge scale riots at home. Until now, I ...

GILAD ATZMON: THE LANDLORD WANNABE PROTEST

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

By Gilad Atzmon It is almost amusing to find out that some of the most clichéd Marxists around are so taken by the current Israeli popular protest, which they foolishly interpret as a manifestation of the 'Israeli revolutionary spirit'. They are convinced that now that the Israeli 'working class' are rising, peace will necessarily ...

INSIDE WHAT JOB?

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

Charles H. Ferguson's Inside Job might be a fine documentary on the current financial crisis but as jazz musician and writer Gilad Atzmon says, the film seems to overlook the fact that as America was implementing ‘the Wolfowitz doctrine’ and fighting a Zionist war, a cabal of corrupted bankers pocketed billions, creating ...

LIBERATING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Monday, January 31st, 2011

With each passing day, American foreign policy is beginning to look like Israel's.

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Jewish racism knows no boundaries. Though many people of many ethnic origins live between the river and the sea, the Jewish State is not exactly a multi- cultural society. The Israeli legal system is racist to the bone; it is a true mirror of Jewish supremacy and Talmudic tribalism. In ...

ISRAELI BUTCHERY AT SEA

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

By Gilad Atzmon MONDAY, MAY 31, 2010 AT 11:58 AM - As I write this piece the scale of the Israeli lethal slaughter at sea is yet to be clear. However we already know that at around 4 am Gaza time, hundreds of IDF commandos stormed the Free Gaza international humanitarian ...

THE BOOMERANG EFFECT

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

In London schools today, children are taught about the Holocaust, how bad the Nazis were. But, asks jazz musician and writer Gilad Atzmon, is anyone teaching about the immorality of Empire? Or Israeli aggression in Gaza? Atzmon is confident the real lesson is being learnt - that genocide, by whichever ...

A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF GAZA IN CARTOONS

Monday, January 25th, 2010

One bloody incident in Rafah in 1956 left 111 Palestinians dead, shot by Israeli soldiers. Seemingly a footnote to a long history of killings, that day in Rafah also reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war. In his new graphic novel, Footnotes In Gaza, Joe ...

AVATAR, A HUMANIST CALL FROM MT. HOLLYWOOD
