Gilad (Atzmon) Needs Additional Support

Summary:
Gilad Atzmon is under fire, and so is free speech. Dear friends In March I was sued for libel by the chairman of the Campaign Against Anti Semitism (CAA), Gideon Falter, for suggesting that ‘Antisemitism is a business plan.’ As CAA has explained its objective, the lawsuit was intended both to silence me and to wreck my career.   Campaign Against Anti Semitism’s web site states that renowned media lawyer Mark Lewis  “devised a strategy for bringing libel actions which he and Campaign Against Antisemitism have begun to use to force antisemites into either apologising in court, or paying substantial damages.”  And as CAA boasts in its promotional video, “We ensure antisemites face criminal, professional and reputational consequences.”    And of course, the libel suit didn’t manage

Dear friends

In March I was sued for libel by the chairman of the Campaign Against Anti Semitism (CAA), Gideon Falter, for suggesting that ‘Antisemitism is a business plan.’ As CAA has explained its objective, the lawsuit was intended both to silence me and to wreck my career.   Campaign Against Anti Semitism’s web site states that renowned media lawyer Mark Lewis  “devised a strategy for bringing libel actions which he and Campaign Against Antisemitism have begun to use to force antisemites into either apologising in court, or paying substantial damages.”  And as CAA boasts in its promotional video, “We ensure antisemites face criminal, professional and reputational consequences.”   

And of course, the libel suit didn’t manage to silence me. I am at least as prolific and focused as I was before the lawsuit. I am still performing and giving talks around the world, I still publish my writings on a daily basis. In fact, Mark Lewis, the man who ‘devised the strategy’ intended to silence me, is now defending himself in the disciplinary tribunal for solicitors (https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/media-lawyer-mark-lewis-to-face-sdt-over-social-media-comments/5067741.article)  for sending “offensive and profane communications.”  Instead of managing to obliterate my career, Mark Lewis has left his law firm (Seddons) and is moving to Israel.
