    Israel Lobby is in a State of Panic says Gilad Atzmon

    Jun 07, 2013

    The recent London Declaration on Antisemitism shows that Israel and its

    Lobby are in a state of panic, renowned anti-Zionist activist and former

    Israeli Gilad Atzmon has said.

    Writing on his blog, Mr Atzmonwho served in the Israeli army before

    defecting from the Zionist Supremacist statesaid that the London

    Statement is a clear attempt to stop discussion on issues to do with Jewish

    past, the Holocaust, the Jewish State and its Jewish nature.

    The declaration doesnt leave much room for doubt, Israel and its Lobby

    are in a state of panic. The London Statement is a clear attempt to stop

    discussion on issues to do with Jewish past, the Holocaust, the Jewish State

    and its Jewish nature.

    Interestingly enough, the declaration provides us with an insight into

    Zionist projection. Far from being a universal statement, the declaration is

    primarily concerned with anti-Jewish discrimination. The declaration is a

    brutal and crude attempt to interfere with freedom of expression that is

    still regarded by some as a precious human value.

    The declaration is full with logical flaws. Here is one example. Though

    Israel defines itself as the Jewish State, the declaration calls to stop thosewho target the State of Israel as a Jewish collectivity (1). I guess that the

    meaning of it is simple. Israel is happy to define itself as a Jewish State but

    it doesnt like to be defined as such by others.

    The declaration calls national governments, parliaments, international

    institutions to affirm democratic and human values, build societies based

    on respect and citizenship and combat any manifestations of antisemitism

    and discrimination. I would expect the Israeli Government to follow this

    call and to make sure that Israel, once and for all, becomes a state of its

    citizens and succumb to principles of human values and true democracy,

    because at the moment Israel is still a Jewish State and its legal system

    discriminates non-Jews.

    The declaration is an attempt to seal Jewish past Governments must

    challenge any foreign leader, politician or public figure who denies,

    denigrates or trivialises the Holocaust. It is obviously clear that some Jews

    dont like it when gentiles look into their past. But the question is why? Is

    there something secretive in Jewish past? The declaration also fails to

    define exactly what denial, denigration or trivialization may entail.

    I guess that the desperate appeal to law and international community is

    taking place now because Israel and its supporters grasp that the tide has

    changed. -resentment towards Israel and its lobbies cannot be contained

    anymore.

    I guess that Israel and its Lobby better learn to self-reflect rather than

    attempting to silence criticism, he concluded.
