Write, Act, Write

Ron Press is a poet (see the link below). His poem starts: “It is not genetic and not all Jews are affected.” Says Gilad Atzmon (see the second link): “Israel is a racially orientated democracy.” Atzmon is a musician and also the author of a novel called “A Guide to the Perplexed”. This title is borrowed from a work of the immortal Jewish philosopher, Moshe ben Maimon, called Maimonides, or by some “Rambam”, who was born 1135 in Moorish Spain. Gilad Atzmon was born in Israel and served in the Israeli military, but now lives in London. The Palestinians are going to free themselves, but who will save the Jews? Their noble heritage is not represented by colonial Israel. As before, it is to be found all over the world, but hardly in that colony, and least of all in the killer Israeli military forces. Gilad Atzmon seems to know why. Probably that is why he is in London, and not in his native Israel. Join the Palestine Solidarity Campaign at http://www.palestinecampaign.org/ . The visit of Jacob Zuma to Clive Derby-Lewis and Janus Walus, the jailed murderers of the late Chris Hani, is a mystery wrapped in an enigma (see the link below). At least it must be clear by now that we don’t know the whole story about the assassination plot and the killing. So why do some people, such as the Scorpions/NPA, not want that story to be investigated? Another poet is Jeremy Cronin, writing prose this time (see the linked article below), but giving us a poetic word: “metonymy”. We live and learn.
