    Deconstructing anti-Semitism

    A logical investigation

    By Gilad Atzmon*


    14 February 2007

    Gilad Atzmon highlights the absurdity of the Zionist worldview, which defines almost everything and everyone as "anti-Semitic" in order to promote its racist, hate-filled, poisonous self.

    1

    • While in the old days an "anti-Semite" was someone who hates Jews, nowadays it is the other way around: an anti-Semite is someone the Jews hate.
    • Because Jews are theoretically capable of hating anyone, including other Jews, everyone is a potential anti-Semite.
    • Since "anyone" refers to the entire human family, we are entitled to deduce that humanity is, how shall we say it, potentially anti-Semitic.
    • This is indeed very disturbing.

    2

    • Since the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians can never be morally justified, every morally-oriented critical voice of Israel i.e. every moral being, is hated by some Jews. Thus, every moral being is an anti-Semite.
    • Since Israel is a regional ecological disaster as well as a nuclear threat every eco-enthusiast is potentially hated by some Jew or other and ecology is on the verge of becoming anti-Semitic.
    • Since Jazz music is a call for freedom, including freedom for Palestine, some Jazz is indeed hated by some Jews. In other words, Jazz is anti-Semitic.

    3

    • Even Bush and Blair, the most famous Zio-philic goyim [gentiles] of our time, people who sacrifice their political careers just to save the Jewish State, are hated by some anti-Zionist Jews, which is enough to make Bush and Blair into proper anti-Semites.
    • Even the Zionists themselves, those who rob Palestine and cleanse its indigenous inhabitants, are apparently hated by the Torah Jews, the true followers of the Judaic tradition. In other words, Zionism is anti-Semitic.
    • Needless to say, the "Torah Jews" themselves, those who happen to oppose Zionism in the name of the Torah, are hated by the vast majority of secular Jews, by the totality of Marxist Jews and by Zionist Jews in particular. In short, Torah Jews are anti-Semites.

    • If humanity is anti-Semitic, moralists and environmentalists are anti-Semitic, Zionists are anti-Semites, Jews in general are anti-Semites and even Jazz is also anti-Semitic, we are left with no choice but to accept that anti-Semitism is apparently the entirety, the totality, the medium in which everything else takes place.
    • Although it must be admitted that anti-Semitism is beyond time and place, it is not as great as God.
    • While God was there before time, and therefore before the Jews, anti-Semitism is a subsequent, Jewish product.
    • Thus, Jews are greater than anti-Semitism but lesser than God.
    • Be that as it may, some radical atheist Jews hate God, which qualifies God as an anti-Semite.
    • A Talmudic riddle: can God be greater than anti-Semitism and the Jews and yet be an anti-Semite himself?
    • The answer is yes, but only if God is himself a self-hating Jew.
    • Although one self-hating Jew made it into God, not every self-hating Jew is God. I, for instance, just play the saxophone and deconstruct the Jewish identity.



    *Gilad Atzmon is an Israeli-born musician and writer, and a proponent of a secular and democratic one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which the two peoples live in one state as citizens with equal rights and responsibilities.
