Gilad Atzmon's criticisms of Zionism, Jewish identity, and Judaism, as well as his controversial views on The Holocaust and Jewish history have led to allegations of antisemitism from both Zionists and anti-Zionists. A profile in The Guardian in 2009 stated: "It is Atzmon's blunt anti-Zionism rather than his music that has given him an international profile, particularly in the Arab world, where his essays are widely read."[4] en.wikipedia.org

Gilad Atzmon has defined himself variously as a "secular Jew",[3] a "proud self-hating Jew",[9][51] an "ex-Jew"[52] and "a Hebrew-speaking Palestinian." In articles he has compared Israeli actions to that of the Nazis and has described Israel's policy toward the Palestinians as genocide. In 2004 the Board of Deputies of British Jews criticized Atzmon for saying, "I'm not going to say whether it is right or not to burn down a synagogue, I can see that it is a rational act."[55] Aaronovitch also criticized Atzmon for circulating an essay by Paul Eisen defending Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel and supporting many aspects of Zündel's Holocaust denial theories. In 2007 the Swedish Committee Against Anti-Semitism criticized the Swedish Social Democratic Party for inviting Atzmon to speak, saying he had worked to "legitimize the hatred of Jews.” Atzmon's political writings have been published in CounterPunch,[34] Al-Arab online,[35] Uruknet,[36] Middle East Online,[37] The Palestine Telegraph,[38] Aljazeera Magazine[39] and Aljazeerah.info.[40] He was a co-founder of and former contributor to anti-Zionist blog Palestine Think Tank.[4][41] en.wikipedia.org
