Gilad Atzmon - A Hebrew Speaking Palestinian
O.K. I admit I mislead readers with that headline, of course Gilad’s book is not banned, what it should have read was P.S.C. members who read books “we” don’t like should be banned.
Wait a minute, let me put that more clearly; the book should be banned, the people who read it should be banned and probably the P.S.C. should be banned as well.
This is “the word” according to Anthony Cooper.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign members are holding a book reading circle in Brighton. This seemingly innocent and gentle pastime is causing outrage to Anthony Cooper someone whom I know little about except that he appears to be some kind of Gestapo inspired thought police, he certainly spends a lot of time cyber stalking P.S.C. members and what they do in their spare time.
The P.S.C. made a huge error of judgement when they started trying to appease Zionist and so called Anti Zionist bullies, who knows where this McCarthy like hunt for alleged anti Semites (people that Jews don’t like) might end.
So long as its members are happy to join Holocaust deniers to study racist books, the PSC shouldn’t expect reasonable people to take their words seriously.
Evidently “reasonable people” think you should only read books which meet with their approval, no matter that we have laws in the U.K. against racism which would ensure “racist books” were banned. “The Wandering Who” by Gilad Atzmon is endorsed by a long list of humanists headed by no less than John Mearsheimer and Richard Falk. Of course Anthony Cooper and Tony Greenstein have a lot in common in so much as they both like to perpetuate the lie that Gilad Atzmon is a holocaust denier, which he is not.
It would be nice to see the P.S.C. finally join the resistance and become a real solidarity movement, then we really would be able to take them seriously.

It is almost funny to watch the level of paranoia. The outcome is clear, Zionists, AZZ and the PSC EC have managed to exclude themselves from the discussion regarding the fate of the Jewish state and the conflict.
I can tell you that in the last 3 PSC events i attended as a speaker, most members appeared to have read the book, and love it, those who didn’t read the book, bought it at the events.

I agree with what you say, Laura. We must not give in to this well-rehearsed and predicatable pressure.

Amazing – why should what Solidarity activists read in their spare time be any business of Anthony Cooper or Tony Greenstein?
I believe in the One Supreme Being – how did it happen that Zionist and anti Zionists alike see themselves as controllers of the universe?

Laura, discourse is basically a set of boundaries. What is so unique about Jewish power it attempt to censor the the entire discourse…

Well, to them it’s not just spare-time reading. To them Gilad’s book represents a very real threat.
I think that Jews feel that they’re one breath away from Auschwitz – it’s very much part of Jewish identity. So, to them, anything that challenges them or threatens to expose them is just a step towards their destruction. And perhaps they’re not all that wrong. The question is, whose fault is that?
It’s also convenient. After all, if your very existence is threatened, well then pretty well anything is justified.
