Wil-Mar Center censors a peace & justice leader.*
Gather this Thursday, May 10, 6 pm, sidewalk in front of Wil-Mar Center, 953 Jenifer St., Madison WI – Gilad Atzmon event follows at nearby location
Gilad Atzmon’s great grandmother died in the Nazi holocaust.
But the Wil-Mar Center, citing lies about Atzmon’s views on the holocaust in which his great grandmother died, refuses to let him speak. Atzmon’s talk in Madison this Thursday, scheduled for the Wil-Mar Center, was abruptly cancelled less than one week before the event. Wil-Mar Center Executive Director Gary Kallas emailed the organizers stating that Atzmon was censored because he “advocates for a particular type of discrimination visa vie documented views of denying the 20th century Holocaust.”
In fact, Atzmon does not deny any facts about any of the many 20th century holocausts. But he insists that events in the past must be treated in an open scholarly manner as opposed to religion. Atzmon opposes all forms of history laws. He probably prefers to remember his grandmother as a victim of the larger holocaust, World War II—which killed 60 million innocent people—rather than giving her special status because she, unlike more than 50 million other innocent victims of that horrific war, happened to be Jewish.
Atzmon, the celebrated Israeli-born jazz musician and philosopher, left Israel because he was unwilling to participate in the ongoing holocaust of Palestinians. He is aligned with the best Jewish ethics whose slogan is: “Never again—for anybody!”
Please come to Madison this Thursday, May 10, to honor Gilad Atzmon. We will meet between 6 and 6:30 pm at the corner of Jenifer and Brearly Streets, in front of the Wil-Mar Center. Then at 6:30 we will go to a nearby location to hear Gilad’s talk and live music. (Someone will remain in front of the Wil-Mar til 7 pm to guide latecomers to the new location.) Complimentary hand-made natural-organic gourmet exotic delicacies will be served.

Hi Gary,
I think your information is incorrect. None of the organizers of this event have seen any indication that Gilad Atzmon advocates for any kind of discrimination. Otherwise we would not have invited him. Since you are accusing him of very bad things, can you please document them?

Hello Gary,
We just spoke with Gilad. He says the ADL and Wikipedia entries are false. Here is his detailed explanation:
http://www.gilad.co.uk/a-statement-by-gilad-atzmon/
He does not deny the holocaust. He operates music schools in Germany and Austria, which have strict laws against holocaust denial, and he would be charged and imprisoned if he denied the holocaust.
Gilad has been repeatedly honored for his human rights work. He is #5 on this list of peace and justice leaders who exemplify the values of Dr. Martin Luther King:
He has also earned many honors for his work for Palestinian civil rights.
He is at (***)***-**** and will be happy to speak with you during the next few hours, or at any convenient time.
Gilad’s email is: ***
Hi ***,
This is not a discussion I seek to engage in. We do not seek nor is it our role to arbitrate disputes between Wikipedia and Gilad and reserve our right to cancel this meeting.
Sincerely,
Gary

Gilards great grandmother died in a German labour camp of Typhus, or some other disease, or possible starvation due to allied bombing of supply routes.
Tried to share on fedbook and of course it was blocked. Time to start a new platform….
