Gilad Atzmon
I saw a performance by Gilad Atzmon a few days ago, and he really has something interesting to say. A disaffected, anti-Zionist, ex-Israeli, he speaks not only for Palestinian rights, but for a reasonable assumption that no one is ‘chosen’ and all people should have equal rights. As an ex-Israeli citizen, he critiques Israeli policy and Zionist culture in a way that is quite shocking by standards in the US, not that he doesn’t get some serious heat for his stance.
Gilad is a popular Saxophone player and Jazz Artist in the UK, and his music is most enjoyable. You can sample his work on Amazon and iTunes. He’s also written a couple of novels that I can’t say much about because I haven’t read them. However, he has a great website, which I highly recommend. It is linked in on the sidebar.
