1. Gilad Atzmon: We Are All Palestinians
Our solidarity with Palestine should start, right here at home. We could begin by exposing our local MP who is more than likely to be a CFOI, LFI or Lib Dem Friends of Israel member. It’s about time the British public grasped that we have far too many ‘Friends of Israel’ in our government but nowhere nearly enough friends of Britain.
We live in unique times. Yesterday’s ideologies and political institutions are crumbling. We are living in a post-ideological and post-political age. Thanks to the internet and the social networks, each one of us is an independent broadcasting outlet. Each one of us is capable of disseminating information at the speed of light - wider and faster than any institutional media corporation. People are now free to choose who they follow and what they believe. In sum, this technology offers us a unique opportunity to democratise the realm of thoughts, ideas and action. It’s a window of opportunity and we’d better make the most of it.
2. Important video-Palestine in Israeli School Books: Nurit Peled-Elhanan (must watch)
http://www.gilad.co.uk/
Alternate Focus interviews Nurit Peled-Elhanan, author of the forthcoming book Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education. Nurit Peled-Elhanan argues that the textbooks used in the school system are laced with a pro-Israel ideology, and that they play a part in priming Israeli children for military service. She analyzes the presentation of images, maps, layouts and use of language in History, Geography and Civic Studies textbooks, and reveals how the books might be seen to marginalize Palestinians, legitimize Israeli military action and reinforce Jewish-Israeli territorial identity.

4. Gilad Atzmon: The BOD is in a Constant Tantrum
Last week the Zionist Board of Deputies of British Jews (BOD) was desperate to expel me from a Marxist music festival. They obviously failed. This week the BOD attempts to control the Palestinian Delegation’s web site. The JC reports today that the BOD has “clashed with the Foreign Office over the content of articles on the website of the Palestinian Mission in Britain.”
BOD’s President Vivian Wineman said that the Board was "pretty angry" that the Foreign Office had refused to take action over the mission's promotion of work by Israeli-born ‘antisemite’ Gilad Atzmon. The BOD seems to have a problem, neither the Art Council nor the Foreign Office seem to be convinced that I am indeed an ‘antisemite’....
It seems as if the BOD insists to control the content of the UK Palestinian Delegation’s site. The website publishes news and information about the Palestinian Authority's UK envoy Manuel Hassassian, as well as "academic links". The site contains the Goldstone Report, material on supporting boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel, and links to articles written by myself including one which accuses Israel of organ trafficking and harvesting.
