    Dear friends, it is with great regret that I must announce a sad tragedy.  
   It seems that Tony Greenstein was performing a cornhold on Roland Rance, when Roland had a sudden bout of violent flatulence.  
   Alas, both comrades were blown to smithereens and are now in the great Gulag of the Sky.

Atzmon extends his criticism of Israel to Zionism and Judaism,<ref name="gilchrist222"/> including through philosophical texts on [[Jewish identity]] discussed by the likes of [[Noam Chomsky]].<ref name=Lewis/>  Atzmon says the military experience of “my people destroying other people left a big scar” and led to his condemnation of “Jewishness” as "very much a supremacist, racist tendency".<ref name="gilchrist222"/> 
He later expounded "In the UK bigotry and racism is becoming a Jews-only territory."<ref>palestinethinktank.com/2009/03/07/hatred-has-turned-him-into-a-jew-deconstructing-nick-cohen/</ref> ⏎
Atzmon has asked “How is it that people who have suffered so much and for so long can inflict so much pain on the other?” and questions ‘How can Zionists, who are motivated by a genuine desire to return, be so blind when it comes to the very similar Palestinian desire?”<ref name="CryFreedom"/>
