Gilad Atzmon
In the light of the growing discussion initiated by Israeli politicians and Zionist enthusiasts regarding the eruption of new anti-Semitism I am here to announce as loudly as I can: there is no anti-Semitism any more. In the devastating reality created by the Jewish state, anti-Semitism has been

Palestinians pleased but wary of Israel's motives for pullout
"You can't reject it, and you can't accept its results," he wrote. "Relatively speaking, it is a step forward, but what I fear most is that it will be accompanied by 10 steps backward, where the Israelis will get rid of the Gaza nightmare in order to swallow the West Bank and abort the Palestinian dream."...

1001 Lies About Gilad Atzmon
For more than ten years I have been writing about Israel, Zionism and Jewish identity. I am engaged in a process of deconstruction and critique of different Jewish texts, ideas, politics and practice. My intent is aiming towards some deeper realisation of what Zionism is.
