Dear friends,
I just got this email from Gilad. I ask you to do what I just did myself: pre-order his book. That is the best way to make sure that the Zionist will fail in their attempt to prevent its publication. This is really the least we can do (its only 10 bucks!)
Many thanks,
The Saker

Hello everybody,
My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics”, is scheduled for release in six weeks time and it seems that the usual suspects — Zionists and their collaborators within the marginal ‘left’ — are already in a state of panic. In the last few days, my publishing house, my editors and I have been subjected to immense and intense pressure that included harassment, intimidation, and even anonymous threats, as the demands mounted on my publisher to pull the book.
Leading the harassment campaign were the openly pro-war Zionist Islamophobes from “Harry’s Place”, who wrote “more now than ever, strong opposition to Atzmon and his politics is needed.”
Within minutes of the “Harry’s Place” post, Andy Newman joined in with their futile attempt at an intimidation campaign, writing on Socialist Unity “I am concerned to learn that the anti-Semite, Gilad Atzmon, is writing a book on Jews for the Zero Press.”(Andy Newman is the “Socialist” who for years appeared to spend much of his energy engaged mainly in gate-keeping anti-Israeli discourse within the British ‘left’.)
Predictably enough, staunch Iraq war advocate and Israeli Hasbara author David Aaronovitch was also very quick to join in the campaign on the notorious Jewish Chronicle’s pages.
The question must be asked: why are these people so afraid of Gilad Atzmon? Why are they afraid of Atzmon’s writing and ideas? Why are they so desperate to stop the book, even going so far as to attempt to intimidate the author, the editor and the publishing company?
Be assured that I have collected all the relevant information about the individuals who have attempted to launch an intimidation campaign against me and my publisher, and I will publish it all in due time — but the most important factor to observe here is — how is it that the openly Islamophobic “Harry’s Place” and pro-war David Aaronovitch are caught together with the armchair ‘progressive’ “Socialist Unity”, united in the same cause of trying to stop my work from being published ?
I believe that my new book provides the answers. I disclose the horrifying continuum between Zionists and so called Jewish ‘anti’ Zionists. I also explore the deep Islamophabia within the left. Without referring to ethnicity or race, I unveil some fundamental issues at the core of Jewish Identity politics.
I can assure you that none of my detractors have read my book yet, but they know what to expect. They know what I am capable of. And indeed, I promise to provide. The book is short but I believe it says it all, and it has already been endorsed and supported by some of the most important thinkers and academics within the anti Zionist movement.
Dear friends, I have a big war ahead of me, and I predict that I may need your support from time to time.
Surprisingly perhaps, I would like to end this post by quoting from the racist “Harry’s Place” mission statement — stamped boldly on their webpage is the terse aphorism, “Liberty, if it means anything, is the right to tell people what they don’t want to hear.”
I actually go along with the “Harry’s place” mantra — and I hope that my detractors will be brave enough to deal with my text. At least for them reflection is long overdue.

Done. I may not agree with what Atzmon says but I sure as hell defend his right to say it.
I spend quite a bit of time on Socialist Unity and I don’t think it’s fair to lump Andy Newman in with Harry’s Place. There are constant articles supporting the Palestinian cause on SUN. Newman used to be a member of the Respect party and supports Goerge Galloway. He’s also posted articles analysing Iran and pointing out that Ahmadinejad quite possibly did win the election. He’s excellent on Islamophobia.
Given that the Zionists constantly try to smear those leftists who support Palestine as soft on anti semitism Newman no doubt feels he has to have a zero tolerance policy to Atzmon. I can’t blame him for this.
“I also explore the deep Islamophabia within the left. Without referring to ethnicity or race,”
Oh please! The left far from being anti-Islamic is pro Islamic with the Respect party even fielding Babar Ahmad as a local MP, one of the most prominent global internet terrorist recruiters and financiers who ran Azzam publications and was Basayeav and Khattabs personal webmaster in London
Perhaps that exposure got too much for the British establishment and issued his arrest warrant.
In fact it was George Galloway in 97/98 that blocked a parliamentary resolution that would have made it illegal to finance and support foreign terrorist groups in Britain.
Pre-order placed with Amazon.
