Gilad Atzons own commentary on the Berkeley event: Sit down for this one, folks:

" They are pointing their finger at themselves saying, “we are Zionists, we are a racist rightwingers, we are loud, proud and as you can see we are openly promoting our tribal interests.”

(Well, actually the people protesting were progressive activists in the peace and justice movement embarrassed by the presence of hate speech in our community.)

"I told my audience in Berkeley that the bunch of noisy people"

(it was a silent protest)

"whom they met in the entrance were crucial for the understanding of Zionism and its violence. The people out there were exactly the same people as the Israelis, they were motivated by the same supremacist ideas. They were using exactly the same intimidating tactics."

(A silent protest is an intimidation technique? Quick, someone tell Dr. King! )

"They just lacked the means to put us all behind barbed wire, to starve us or to spread white phosphorus over our heads. The picketers in Berkeley were waving the Israeli flag and carried placards, they were foreign to the calm evening scene as much as their settler brothers are foreign to the hills of Judea and Samaria. "

(There was only one "foreigner" on the scene. The rest of us were community activists)

"They basically brought Israeli ugliness to an innocent Californian street. Funnily enough from a light PA system "

(it was a radio. An old radio. Is this man clueless or what?)

"they brought along they played some horrible Israeli folk music, they probably didn’t realise that I could recognise my saxophone and clarinet on most of these badly played and horribly arranged songs. "

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he complaining about the music and taking credit for it simutaneously?)

"The night was a great success."

(This certainly shows how utterly divorced from reality this man is. There were fewer people attending his concert than protesting it outside. That counts as a great success?)

In response to the negative publicity the Fellowship is receiving regarding this event, they have decided to tell people they are only renting space for the "performance"- of course, the promotional literature sent out for this event, via Craigs list, yahoo events, email , etc, proves that to be a lie. BFUU's social justice committtee is listed as a sponsor much of what has been sent out.

It's a shame that this UU church can't tell the difference between reasoned opinion and hate speech. If I had more of a stomach, I'd go inside and listen to this creep spew his mediocre music and then blast him for his racism in front of his clueless UU fans. Instead, I'll stand outside with the loyal opposition. Much better for my digestion too.
