演講 Gilad Atzmon; The Wandering Who and Where? (8th November, 2011)

Gilad Atzmon discusses his new book on Jewish identity politics and its significance to the Palestine-Israel conflict. "A transformative story told with unflinching integrity that all (especially Jews) who care about real peace, as well as their own identity, should not only read, but reflect upon and discuss widely." Professor Richard Falk “Gilad Atzmon decided to open Pandora’s Box, and ignite a debate that has been frustratingly dormant for too long. His experiences are most authentic, views are hard-hitting, and, at times, provocative. It must be read and discussed.” Ramzy Baroud, Palestine Chronicle ================================= 簡要說明當天演講的情況。嚴格說起來不算場學術演講。演講者是英國籍的猶太人，主業是Saxophone手，副業是研究以巴衝突。他來之前，學校的猶太社團表示將會到現場抗議，反對演講者激進言論。(學校的報紙將其新聞放在頭版) 在會場外，可以看到猶太裔學生發放傳單與拿海報，抵制演講者。 演講者表示他不是種族主義者，他主要是反對世俗性的猶太復國主義（Zionism），並不反對猶太信仰與猶太人。他指出英國與美國保守派人士大多數受到猶太遊說團體的支持與影響該國外交政策。從他的演講中，我感受到他認為猶太復國主義對世界帶來威脅。 (猶太社團反對演講者的傳單) （校園報紙，頭版（左）報導猶太社團學生將發起抵制活動） （最後演講結束，表演Saxophone）
