Gilad Atzmon, jazz musician, philosopher, Palestinian Solidarity Activist, ex-Israeli (Hebrew speaking Palestinian), will appear in Portland on Tuesday, May 14th 6:30pm- 8:30pm ~ "The 'Progressive'" ~ "The 'Left'" ~ We can take Orwellian out of the book, but NOT out of the 'Progressive Left' ~ OPEN LETTER TO NOAM CHOMSKY & the FAUX PROGRESSIVE "JEWISH LEFT" ET AL

Gilad Atzmon is one of my favorite modern philosophers.  He is a free thinker.  Critically deducting and discerning the earth and our species and what are we doing here, well it's what we got born to do ~ GA: It was my first return to Lebanon after 30 years. I saw the most beautiful country and I met the most beautiful people. It was the closest I’ve been to my birth place for 18 years and this was very moving. But I also saw the conditions in the camps (Palestinian refugees)  and that left me in tears, and I mean it literally. The state in the camps is a total humanitarian crisis, people who live for decades with no hope for or prospect of future.
