If and when Arthur appeals, I will be happy to volunteer my services as an expert witness. I have four advanced degrees in literature (three MAs and a Ph.D.) and have done extensive work on the literary theory of Bakhtin, whose work provides the best possible basis for an accurate understanding of what satire is and how it works.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Meanwhile\u2026Shortly before the verdict came in I recorded this interview with ex-Israeli<strong>philosopher-<wbr \/>musician\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gilad.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gilad Atzmon<\/a><\/strong>, who may be the world\u2019s leading expert on Jewish identity politics. When Arthur Topham was charged with \u201cwillfully promoting hatred against the Jewish people,\u201d hauled into court, and menaced with a possible two-year prison sentence, Gilad flew to Quesnel, British Columbia to appear as an expert witness.

It is his love of justice, not his hatred of anyone, that led him to criticize Zionism and the dark side of Jewish identity politics. Arthur and his wife Shasta, who is Jewish, have behaved with amazing restraint and decorum during their eight-year ordeal, during which their remodeling business was destroyed.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">What was Arthur Topham\u2019s alleged crime?
