Dear Debanjan Banerjee Please Retract your Support of Gilad Atzmon

Submitted by BB King (United States), Mar 31, 2012 at 18:36

Why do you reference an Anti-Semite like Gilad Atzmon to make your point? He crosses the line from criticism of Israel to demonization of the Jewish people. Even pro-Palestinian activists agree and that is why they have denounced and distanced themselves from him.

Read their letter condemning him here:

The letter was signed by rabid anti-Zionists like Joseph Massad.

I believe Mr. Banerjee that you too should retract your support of Gilad Atzmon.
