Gilad Atzmon on censorship, witch hunts, 9/11 truth movement…and more

Listen HERE.

Note: Check out Gilad Atzmon’s brief review of Laurent Guyenot’s brand-new book From Yahweh to Zion.

Musician-philospher Gilad Atzmon joins us to discuss his recent articles, including “On TheCurrent International Zionist Smear Campaign” which begins:

“Together with veteran Pink Floyd star Roger Waters and many other artists and thinkers worldwide, I am being subjected to an international smear campaign, orchestrated and promoted by various Zionist institutions that attempt to silence every form of legitimate dissent of Zionism and Israeli politics.

“Local councils, clubs and festivals that promote my music or my thoughts around the world are being subjected to a barrage of emails sent in a clear and malicious attempt to slander me. In these emails I am called an ‘anti-Semite’, ‘bigot’, ‘racist’, ‘Holocaust denier’, and so on.

“Obviously, there is no truth in any of this.  As a writer I have indeed criticised Israel and other manifestations of Jewish political exceptionalism, I critically analysed Zionism, Jewish politics, ideology and identity politics in general. I do believe that all states, ideologies and politics must be subject to criticism, but I have never criticized Jews (or anyone else for that matter) as people, as a race or as a biological entity. In fact, my work is deeply anti-racist and focuses only on the political and the cultural.”

We also discuss Gilad’s article “Kosherising the 9/11 Truth Movement: Shoving Israel under the carpet.”
