Gilad Atzmon (Template:Lang-he, born June 9, 1963) is a jazz musician, author and critic of Jewish Identity who was born in Israel and currently lives in London.

He was born a secular Israeli Jew in Tel Aviv, and trained at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem. His service as a paramedic in the Israeli military during the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon made him realize "I was part of a colonial state, the result of plundering and ethnic cleansing." In 1994, Atzmon emigrated from Israel to London, where he studied philosophy.

Music

Atzmon first became interested in British jazz he discovered in a British record shop in Jerusalem. He initially was inspired by the work of Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes and regarded London as “the Mecca of Jazz.”

Instruments and style

While Atzmon's main instrument is the alto saxophone, he also plays soprano, tenor and baritone saxophones and clarinet, sol, zurna and flute. Atzmon's jazz style has been described as bebop/hard bop, with forays into free jazz and swing, and seemingly inspired by John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Atzmon sometimes plays the alto and soprano sax simultaneously.

Atzmon's works have also explored the music of the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe.

Atzmon has fused his roles as a political artist and musician by creating the character Artie Fishel, on the album Artie Fishel & the Promised Band. With traditional klezmer music, dialogue, and jokes, the album features Atzmon on saxophone, John Turville on keys and electronics, Yaron Stavi on bass, and Asaf Sirkis on drums. Other artists include vocalist Guillermo Rozenthuler, Koby Israelite on vocals and accordion, and Ovidiu Fratila on violin.

Gary Keenan, of CanPalNet, a Palestinian support group, describes the album as "…much more than great music and cutting humour (reminiscent at times of the Marx Brothers and BBC Radio's “Goon Show.”) Ingeniously, by employing jazz as a metaphor, Gilad delivers a completely original and scathing indictment of Zionism and its creation, Israel."

Collaborations and groups

Atzmon is a member of the veteran punk rock band The Blockheads, having joined when Ian Dury was still performing with them. He has also recorded and performed with Shane McGowan, Robbie Williams, Sinéad O'Connor, Robert Wyatt and Paul McCartney.

Atzmon has collaborated, recorded and performed with musicians from all around the world, including the Palestinian singer, Reem Kelani, Tunisian singer and oud player Dhafer Youssef, violinist Marcel Mamaliga, accordion player Romano Viazzani, bassist Yaron Stavi, violinist and trumpet-violin player, Dumitru Ovidiu Fratila, and Guillermo Rozenthuler on vocals.

Atzmon founded the Orient House Ensemble band in London, and has toured all over the world with them. in the 1990s and is currently touring with them. The band includes Asaf Sirkis on Drums, Yaron Stavi on Bass and Frank Harrison on keyboard. It has produced five albums in eight years.

Atzmon is on the creative panel of the Global Music Foundation, a non-profit organization formed in December 2004 which runs residential educational and performance workshops and events in different countries around the world., and also offers personal workshops to students.

Reviews

Atzmon and his ensemble have received favorable reviews from Hi-Fi World, Financial Times, The Scotsman, The Guardian, Birmingham Post, The Sunday Times and The Independent. Reviews of his 2007 album “Refuge” included:

Manchester Evening News: The individuality of the music is extraordinary. No one is more willing to serve his music with raw political passion, and that curious cantor-like tone on clarinet is immediately arresting, like Artie Shaw writhing in his death throes.

EjazzNews: "For sheer improvisational fireworks, quirky humour and genre-defying invention, one will be hard-pressed to find a bandleader as unique as Gilad Atzmon." ("EjazzNews," September 2008)

BBC: "...the OHE is finding its voice in an increasingly subtle blend of East and West, that’s brutal and beautiful."

In November 2008 Chris Searle launched his book Forward Groove: Jazz and the Real World from Louis Armstrong to Gilad Atzmon at the London Jazz Festival. It "chronicles the development of jazz and its great exponents" alongside social developments and political protest movements. The reviewer noted that “the torch continues to be carried by contemporary musicians such as Israeli-born alto saxman Gilad Atzmon who dreams of a free and united Palestine.”

In February 2009 The Guardian music critic John Fordham reviewed Atzmon's newest album "In loving memory of America" which Atzmon describes as "a memory of America I had cherished in my mind for many years". It includes five standards and six originals "inspired by the sumptuous harmonies and impassioned sax-playing of (Charlie) Parker's late-40s recordings with classical strings.

Awards

Atzmon was the recipient of the HMV Top Dog Award at the Birmingham International Jazz Festival in 1996–1998. Gilad Atzmon's Exile was BBC jazz album of the year in 2003.

Novels

Atzmon is also a novelist whose books have been published in 22 languages. His first novel A Guide to the Perplexed, published in 2001, takes place in a near future where Israel has ceased to exist. Atzmon “excoriates the commercialization of the Holocaust" and “argues that the Holocaust is invoked as a kind of reflexive propaganda designed to shield the Zionist state from responsibility for any transgression against Palestinians.” His book has been described as a “vividly written satire, infused with a ribald sense of humor and an unsparing critique of the incendiary political cauldron of the Mideast.” The original Hebrew version was a candidate for Israel's 2003 Geffen Award for science fiction.

His second novel was My One and Only Love published in 2005. The book is a psychological and political commentary which explores the "personal conflict between being true to one’s heart and being loyal to 'The Jews.'" The book makes fun of leading Zionist historical figures, incidents and propaganda techniques. It "illustrates many ironies of Jewish existence, in particular the opportunistic use of Jewish suffering to promote the State of Israel."

Politics

Atzmon's harsh criticisms of Zionism, the state of Israel and its supporters, and of some other anti-Zionists, as well as Jewish identity, issues have led to allegations of antisemitism, which Atzmon contests. Atzmon has said in reply: "I am an artist. I look into myself and try to tell you things about the world. We push envelopes because we look into ourselves."

Publications in which Atzmon's political writings have appeared include CounterPunch, Al Jazeera, Uruknet, Middle East On Line, Dissident Voice and Atlantic Free Press. Many of his published papers are available on his personal website.

He is a co-founder of and contributor to the web site Palestine Think Tank, established in May 2008. It publishes articles and offers videos promoting the belief that "Zionism is wrong. Zionism is racism. For Zionism to happen, it means the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of the land of Palestine." Other contributors include Khalid Amayreh and Carlos Latuff.

Views

Atzmon is an anti-Zionist who critiques Jewish identity issues and supports the Palestinian Right of Return as well as the establishment of a single state in Israel/Palestine. He is a signatory to the "Palestinians are the Priority Petition" which states “full and unconditional support of the Palestinian people is a condition sine qua non for activists to adopt.”

In his 2003 CounterPunch piece "Collective Self-Deception: The Most Common Mistakes of Israelis" Atzmon details ten beliefs which he considers "grave, indeed fatal, mistakes." He differentiates Jews who have rejected these nationalist beliefs and "Israelis" who blindly accept "one of the most radically chauvinist worldviews" which he believes "turns the Israelis into an impossible candidate for any form of peaceful negotiation." He therefore proposes a gradual scheme of bans and boycotts. He recommends that states who "ban anti-Semitism, neo-Nazi propaganda and any other form of racist activity" should consider "adding Zionist activity to their list of prohibited activities."

In a 2004 article in The Guardian called “Free Jazz”, Atzmon wrote about the co-optation of jazz as a revolutionary movement, commenting: “Jazz is a world view, an innovative form of resistance. For me, to play jazz is to fight the BBS (Bush, Blair and Sharon) world order, to aim towards liberation while knowing you may never get there, to fight the new American colonialism. To say what I believe in, to campaign for the liberation of my Palestinian and Iraqi brothers.” However, he also has written about a resurgence of British jazz lead by groups like the F-IRE Collective.

In 2005 at a book reading in Germany Atzmon read from his novel My one and only love about his experiences as an Israeli, noting "one is locked up, if one does not agree with the official opinions." He said the "well-known historiography" of World War II and The Holocaust were a "counterfeit" or "falsification" that was "initiated by Americans and Zionists.” He said there was "no forensic proof" that the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust was the number 6,000,000, causing several audience members to walk out. Iranian PressTv reported that in 2008 an attorney for "Holocaust revisionist scholar" Ernst Zundel’s Holocaust Denial trial in Germany, herself was jailed for three and a half years for Holocaust denial, in part for quoting an article where Atzmon made similar comments on World War II and the Holocaust.

In August 2006, Atzmon wrote that critics of Israel should stop equating Israel's acts to those of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler because Israel's actions are worse. "To regard Hitler as the ultimate evil is nothing but surrendering to the Zio-centric discourse. To regard Hitler as the wickedest man and the Third Reich as the embodiment of evilness is to let Israel off the hook…" Citing Israel's summer 2006 bombing of Lebanon and 2006 Israel-Gaza conflict, Atzmon continued: "The Israelis demolish for the sake of demolishing. It is about time we internalize the fact that Israel and Zionism are the ultimate Evil with no comparison." He further stated that in a comparison of ruthlessness between Nazi Germany and Israel, "…it is the Israelis who win the championship of ruthlessness and the reasons are obvious. Nazi Germany was a tyranny, Israel is a democracy led by a centre-left national unity government."

Atzmon has accused "Israel, the Jewish state" of following the call of Moses in Deuteronomy 6:10 "to plunder, rob and steal," specifically from the "indigenous Palestinians of their land, cities, villages, fields, orchards and wells" for "over a century." Writing about the Jewish revolutionary Marxists of the "Bund" (the General Jewish Labor Union), he writes: "Bundists believe that instead of robbing Palestinians we should all get together and rob whoever is considered to be the rich, the wealthy and the strong in the name of working class revolution." Stating "Robbery and plunder doesn’t live in peace with a deep understanding of the notion of human equality" and citing his own youthful vengeance towards "wealthy goyim," Atzom further asserts: "The Jewish nationalist would rob Palestine in the name of the right of self-determination, the Jewish progressive is there to rob the ruling class and even international capital in the name of world working class revolution."

In October 2008, Atzmon wrote an article entitled "Credit Crunch or rather Zio Punch?" intended to "disentangle the horrifying tribal plot that accidentally led towards the destruction of the American Empire and Western financial hegemony." He details various "Jewish tribal political operations" and concludes: "You may wonder at this stage whether I regard the credit crunch as a Zionist plot. In fact it is the opposite. It is actually a Zionist accident. The patient didn’t make it to the end. This Zionist accident is a glimpse into Political Zionism’s sinister agenda. This Zionist accident provides us with an opportunity to see that as far as misery is concerned, we are together with the Palestinians, the Iraqis and the Afghans. We share one enemy." He also writes: "It would be devastating to see innocent Jews being implicated collectively by the crimes committed by a very few tribal nationalist enthusiasts."

In January 2009 at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Tayyip Erdoğan, Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey, in criticizing Israel's recent attacks on Gaza, quoted Atzmon. Erdogan said: "Gilad Atzmon: 'Israel's barbarity is way beyond cruelty.' He's Jewish." A week earlier Atzmon had said in an interview with an Iranian journalist: “What we see in Gaza is holocaust denial in its making. The Jewish state exercises hardcore barbarism. Yet, the world keeps silent.” In a satirical piece Atzmon also had presented British Prime Minister Gordon Brown with a list of “essential defensive weapons” to give Gazans “a fair chance to defend themselves from Israeli barbarism.”

On January 23, 2009, in an interview with the Gisborn Herald, Atzmon referred to himself as a "proud self-hating Jew" and wrote,"'Im anti-Jewish, not anti-Jews." In the same article, he stated "Jewish ideology and Nazi ideology were very similar." In reference to Jews, he stated "these were the people who were meant to be the guards of humanity? No. They definitely maintained evil." Atzmon said he considers the concept of Judeo-Christian values "A joke. It's obviously a political campaign to try to unite the power of America to fight the Jewish enemies" He also maintained that "I think Jewish ideology is driving our planet into a catastrophe and we must stop."And that "Bush behaved Jewishly (ideologically) - he is a supremacist, he was a tribalist, but he is not a Jew as far as I'm aware."

In March 2009 Atzmon issued an "important" statement on "Israeli brutality and contemporary Jewish identity" in light of "an Israeli genocidal campaign against the Palestinian civilian population in Gaza." In it he said "The more ruthless the Israelis are, the more frightened they become," holding the Israeli projects "on the Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and Iranian the aggression which he finds in himself."

Allegations of antisemitism and responses

In May 2005 the Board of Deputies of British Jews issued a dossier alleging widespread antisemitism at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, including this quote from a talk delivered by Atzmon: "I'm not going to say whether it is right or not to burn down a synagogue, I can see that it is a rational act." Atzmon responded in a letter to The Observer that he did not "justify any form of violence against Jews, Jewish interests or any innocent people." He explained the context of his comment as "debating the question of rationality of anti-semitism. I claimed that since Israel presents itself as the 'state of the Jewish people', and bearing in mind the atrocities committed by the Jewish state against the Palestinians, any form of anti-Jewish activity may be seen as political retaliation. This does not make it right." Atzmon alleges that in 2006 the Board of Deputies exerted "enormous political pressure" to try to cancel his "London debut at the prestigious Pizza On The Park jazz club."

In June 2005 David Aaronovitch in a The Times opinion piece criticized the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) for inviting Atzmon to speak at their "Marxism 2005" annual event. He described Atzmon’s controversial statement accusing American Jews of trying to control the world "by proxy" and his support for Israel Shamir, whom Aaronovitch labeled a "Swedish fascist." He also questioned Atzmon's support for the Jewish director of Britain’s Deir Yassin Remembered, Paul Eisen, who questioned the existence of Nazi gas chambers and championed the perspective of Ernest Zundel, author of "The Hitler we Loved and Why". In defense of the invitation the SWP argued: “The SWP does not believe that Gilad Atzmon is a Holocaust denier or racist. However, while defending Gilad’s right to play and speak on public platforms, that in no way means we endorse all of Gilad’s views. We think that some of the formulations on his website might encourage his readers to feel that he is blurring the distinction between anti-Semitism and anti Zionism. In fact we have publicly challenged and argued against those of his ideas we disagree with.”

In a June 2005 email Roland Rance of Jews Against Zionism accused Atzmon of antisemitism, in part because allegedly he "spends much of his time denouncing anti-Zionist Jews who do not, like him, dissociate entirely from their Jewish background." Tony Greenstein said there was “no room in the Palestinian movement for anti-Semites.” Rance wrote in a leftist publication that Atzmon "by eliding the important distinction between Israel and Jews, is actually aiding the propaganda effort of the state he purports to oppose." Atzmon has responded by describing his critics as being "crypto Zionist" and as "searching for essentiality," so that for them the "Holocaust is the new Jewish religion."

In November 2006, academic David Hirsh, in an op-ed on The Guardian's Comment is Free website, listed some Atzmon quotes he characterized as antisemitic and accused Atzmon of "trying to lead an anti-semitic purge of the anti-Zionist movement and one that will ditch the formal anti-racism onto which some anti-Zionists still cling." Atzmon, who was allowed to respond on the website, wrote that Hirsh's accusations were unproven or taken out of context. He continued: "Hirsh needs anti-semitism. The reason is simple, while Zionism, being an oppressive and expansionist ideology, is impossible to defend, anti-semitism is a racial crime and therefore easy to attack."

The Swedish Committee Against Anti-Semitism (SCAA) has criticized the Swedish Social Democratic Party for inviting Atzmon to speak at a seminar on Iraq, the Palestinian territories and Afghanistan, which was held in Stockholm on March 18th, 2007. SCAA chairman Jesper Svartvik said Atzmon has worked to "legitimize the hatred of Jews" and urged the party to distance itself from the decision. However, Ulf Carmesund, international secretary of the Christian Social Democrats, rejected those allegations, saying: "Gilad Atzmon is himself a Jew, and when the Swedish Committee Against Anti-Semitism starts calling Jews anti-Semites there is a risk that they undermine the term anti-Semite and do the fight against anti-Semitism a disservice."

Atzmon has explained his writing thus: "I write about things that I find while looking into myself. This is indeed very dangerous for people who try to promote some collective dogmatic and ethnic tribalism."

Atzmon answers the various accusations against him at the “1001 Lies About Gilad Atzmon” page on his web site. There he responds to accusations of antisemitism by questioning the existence of antisemitism itself, writing: "Because Anti-Semite is an empty signifier, no one actually can be an Anti-Semite and this includes me of course. In short, you are either a racist which I am not or have an ideological disagreement with Zionism, which I have." In an article entitled "Think Tribal, Speak Universal" Atzmon wrote: "Surely, the most effective way to confront a thinker is through open intellectual debate. But somehow, this is precisely what those who oppose me refuse to do. Instead, they employ various tactics aimed at silencing me."

Oren Ben-Dor, who also grew up in Israel and now teaches at the School of Law, University of Southampton, UK, commented on a 2008 petition condemning what they labelled “the constant attempts to silence Gilad Atzmon.” In Ben-Dor's opinion: "All those who try to smother Gilad's endeavours, to distort his voice through vulgar associations and conventional clichés, and to utilize uncritically accepted conventional havens for thoughtlessness, do not really do justice to the intellectual game as far as Palestine is concerned."
