20. Aw, come on! - I only consider Atzmon to be an anti-Semite due to him endorsing the anti-Semitic

views of other people, not from what he's expressed himself. I've already posted my view on that subject and there's been no reason to change it.

17. I went to Gilad Atzmon's website to see what he's been up to lately.

Apparently he's cowritten a new book with Enzo Apicella, a comic called" A to Zion - The definitive Israeli Lexicon". He's also been on Press TV and he's expressed some glee over the Anne Frank's Diary affair. That's not anti-Semitic, but I've never actually seen Gilad Atzmon make anti-Semitic statements either.

The reason that I believe Gilad Atzmon is an anti-Semite is his open endorsement of other anti-Semites and his support for their anti-Semitic statements. I didn't have to search too hard to find evidence of his support for anti-Semites; apparently Gilad Atzmon has been an expert witness in the defence of Arthur Topham, who's been convicted of promoting hatred against Jews through his website, RadicalPress.com.

Arthur Topham's website promotes anti-Semitism and I completely agree with the court decision to convict. Gilad Atzmon is actually defending the promotion of anti-Semitism, which is where I draw the line.

Gilad Atzmon is an anti-Semite.

BTW, this OP is about Falk and I haven't made up my mind yet...

Are you running out of ammunition? I see that you brought up Atzmon in another thread too.
