Gideon Levy



Gideon Levy (Hebrew: גדעון לוי‎; born 1953) is an Israeli journalist and editor for the Haaretz newspaper, and is an outspoken and controversial opponent of Israel's policies in the occupied Palestinian territories. Levy's weekly column in Haaretz, "The Twilight Zone", deals with the politically and emotionally charged subject of the hardships of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, and their conflicts with the Israeli military and Jewish settlers. He has been called everything from a "propagandist for the Hamas" to "this heroic journalist". He has won awards for defending human rights, and has been vilified as a possible security risk by a former cabinet minister.

In addition to his work at Haaretz, Levy has published a book, hosted a television show, and edited or written documentaries and other programs.

Political views

"My modest mission is to prevent a situation in which many Israelis will be able to say, 'We didn't know'," said Levy in an interview. He often criticizes what he describes as Israeli society's "moral blindness" to the effects of its acts of war and occupation in Gaza and the West Bank. He has referred to the construction of settlements on private Palestinian land as "the most criminal enterprise in Israel's history".

He opposed the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, and the popular view that civilian casualties in that war were both inevitable and acceptable. He said in 2007 that the plight of Palestinians in the Gaza strip, which was under a strict blockade by Israel, made him ashamed to be an Israeli.

Levy supports unilateral withdrawal from occupied Palestinian territories without demanding concessions. "Israel is not being asked 'to give' anything to the Palestinians; it is only being asked to return - to return their stolen land and restore their trampled self-respect, along with their fundamental human rights and humanity."

Levy wrote that the Gaza War was a complete failure for Israel, and that none of the objectives of the war was achieved. "The conclusion is that Israel is a violent and dangerous country, devoid of all restraints and blatantly ignoring the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, while not giving a hoot about international law," he wrote in an editorial.

Nope, its not a crime to hate. Anyone can hate anybody or anything they want, and they can express it. There are lots of anti-Semites in this country. For every race and ethnic group there are those that hate them.
