Gideon Levy, a columnist at Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, told Al Jazeera that he hopes that “Israelis will start to look upon themselves and not to blame the whole world for what’s going on”.
“The notion right now in Israel, as usual, is that the whole world is against us, the whole world is anti-Semitic and let’s get together, we the victims of the world. I don’t know how long it will last because there must be cracks,” he told Al Jazeera.
“Israelis should start to ask themselves, ‘Where is my responsibility’? Is it really only the world’s blame? Or maybe there were crimes of war in Gaza. Maybe our leaders should be brought to justice.”
These conversations are not yet being had, Levy said. Israeli society, he added, is living in total denial. “And the Israeli media, which is the biggest collaborator with the occupation, is the main reason why the discourse in Israel is still a blame game against the world,” he said.
The miraculous rebirth of the sovereign state of Israel as described as Ezekiel 36 and 37 after centuries of exile we ain’t going nowhere
Stop effing about. Give Palestine its due and leave it in peace.
My personal opinion: Palestine was INVENTED to destroy Israel. Look at the map and see the land of the Arab world; it is FIVE HUNDRED TIMES THE SIZE OF ISRAEL.
Ethiopia always siding with European colonials 😂
The jews are coming for us all
How long did bibi think he can go on with this ridiculous “war” without any repercussions. A huge stain on israel.
Israeli are going to move to Ukraine
Are you crazy Israel responsible for war in Gaza no Hamas is responsible for the war in Gaza.
You can recognize Palestine all you want it doesn’t matter because they are not going to have a state next to Israel. Not up to the war it’s Israelis business not the worlds
You can’t tell Israel anything, who are you to tell Israel anything.
Both Israel and the United States blame the entire world for their failings. This state of total denial/delusion can lead to nuclear conflict. They both behave as bullies and terrorists.
Only idiots like you are for a two state solutionn they have been trying that for years it doesn’t work you are just for Hamas and pretend a solution but you just want to regroup and destroy Israel.
Isreal’s existence is illegal.
Respect this gentleman
White supremacy 🤔 aka Jewish supremacy in the middle east 🤔 a multi billion dollar tax free business 🤔
Mr. Levy is an honest man who had the courage to speak out against apartheid, racism, violence, and hate towards Palestinian people.
Respect!
most war in history was ‘Army-against -Army’ not like Gaza, Israel – that is ‘Israelie’s-Army’ against ‘Refugees-Camps’ and probably against some Militants that Israel was training many years ago!!! the Israelie’s PM talked about ‘Ethnic-Cleansing’ few times he also talked about turning ‘Gaza to Dubai’ he mentioned it few times – I believe the Israelie’s leadership was tremendously manipulated by certains radical Right-Wing / Raphael-Security and more…that didn’t care of getting rids of all Civilians in Gaza and Rafiach and more other regions – that is a Genocide and the World watching it…humangus mistakes on Israelies leadership’s hands it’s also ruined a good Jews names that got nothing to do with it!!! so sad… Israelies leadership brought themselves way, way lower then any Gazan-simple-person
The One Video Israel Doesn’t Want You To See… you tube
Anti-semite is a laughing matter now, they have ruined it for themselves. Now no one will take there words seriously
So encouraging to hear Israeli’s such as Gideon Levy.
Israelis Jews using the slogan ” Anti Semitic” as a licence to colonize , invade & mass killing other country civilians.🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭
Free IsraHell from Bibi the Butcher and the ZioNazis.
Must be nice to self-reflect and be allowed to express it unlike in the majority of Muslim countries.
You would think that Mr Levy requires a special way of explaining, but the truth is his simple FACTUAL explanation is how we all have been understanding for decades. It’s always the “backwards” far right in that land that’s always playing the victim game, “my way or the high way, if not you’re anti-sem, shame on you”. They have the most backwards people and lying spokespersons Ive ever seen in my life.
As an American, the problem is the multitude of republican evangelicals who support Israel because of some misguided fairy tale whereby Jesus Christ will return to a Jewish state of Israel.
” too lafe is better than never ” it was said by interviwed in respect to The Israel Government regonizing an Self- Determinating Palestine Free state.
Gideon Levy is like an abused wife. He is blaming the victim.
Campuses in Australia too thanks. No more israhell. The lies are out, the rubbish is done with. Palestine will be established, recognised and rebuilt.
Best thing for jews after Holocaust was to simply migrate from cursed continent and live with Arabs in harmony and not what they did back then and which they continue to do today! When this illegal apartheid collapses jews will not be left with any place to flee or to seek refuge as they posed as refugees to grab Palestine!
Israel hasn’t followed international law in 76 yrs, since the day ot was created.
Israelis can no longer view this. Democracy?
Thank you sir, you are wanderful,you represent real Jewish soul who understands situations.
Netanyahu ‘will-not-be-arrested’ / thanks to USA – but, it wil be some changes in the ‘Region’ and surrounding areas – and some years of solving it
Mr. Levy stands resolute against war, advocating for peace and justice. God bless!
Expecting Israelis to take responsibilty for something? Has that ever happened?
Gideon is a shining light for Israel to follow
Israel iliberation is connected to Palestinian liberation.
Until all are free none are free.
Thank you Mr. Levy for choosing humanity over a colonial project
Shalom, Salam and Peace
If by now you don’t see israel as evil, it’s because you are too
The Israeli media sound just like the British media. Our newspapers have been telling us from day one everybody is picking on Israel. Everybody is trying to destroy Israel.
❤❤❤❤ Palestine 🇵🇸
Canaanites can’t live with them lets live without em…
Gideon Levy is a wonderful friend to humanity. I hope more people in Israel, and people in the US as well, will listen to him.
Palestinians believe that it is them vs the evil corrupted world. Not a good year for israel
I hate it how some reporters always cut in mid sentence instead of letting the person finish what theyre saying
Zionist are all fake people, they have all changed their name. Every Israeli prime minister has a fake name to make them sound Middle Eastern. Benjamin Netanyahu real name is Benjamin Mileikowsky, who’s father’s name was Benzion Mileikowsky, born in Warsaw Poland, Golda Meir real name is Golda Mabovitch, David Ben Gurion real name is David Grün, Shimon Peres real name was Szymon Perski, etc etc… they are Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews whose parents converted to Judaism and then claimed their ancestors were from the Middle Easten!
Stop this injustice, we are in the 21 century. Shame on you.
Le nouveau bouclier de protection israélien sera écologique, peu onéreux et ne fera aucune victime palestinienne.
Il suffit de papier , d’un peu de salive, pour la confection des projectiles.
De paille pour le lancement des projectiles.
D’un systeme de visée “à l’œil ”
Comme ça, bibi et ses amis , pourront guerroyer tranquillement, sans gêner personne.René.
Did the Palestine either ash their own people wheter they commit human crime when they attack israel? The blame game must stop. Both must work together for peace.
You cannot deny Aljazeera has the best journalistic talent as an organisation
Always worth listening to Gideon Levy. He talks sense
Isrealis know what their soldiers are doing in Gaza. They support it.
Such a noble man. Thank you for siding for the rights of Palestinians to be free and lead their future in their hands
Isr was, is, and will remain an isolate state because that’s how they defined themselves from the day one – Jews vs Gentiles whether you live in Europe, Middle East or Ukraine.
If you put the first brick crooked, the house will be built crooked and it will fall.
Can we get better looking hosts? If we’re going to have to suffer through listening to a woman present the news and conduct interviews at least let us have an attractive looking one.
Gideon is a true Mensch 🙏
The world stands with Palestine ❤
Israel has lost all credibility
This channel needs to self reflect on how as Journalists they are not suppose to spread propaganda
Al Zazeera, Democracy Now and France 24 are very good Channels! On the other hand, Israeli, US, UK and EU chanells are full of zios propaganda!
I love this man!! Truly, I wish I could hug him! What can’t he be the leader??!!
Israeli government now go down grade no body care about Israel, no honesty, cheating the god.
Israelis they don’t know how to behave bad mouth
SOUTH AFRICA IS NOMINATED FOR THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
Al Jazeera. media fake new 😂😂😂😂😂
Netanyahu is using Israeli army to avenge his brother’s death. This is his personal problem.
When most of the world doesn’t approve of your action, maybe it’s you Israel. The U.S., and the U.K. are just enablers for your sick behavior.
The Israeli governments, actions are creating more terrorists.
WHAT A WEAK ISRAEL BIBI WITH SO MUCH MIGHT. UNABLE TO RELEASE ITS HOSTAGES EVEN AFTER 222 DAYS?ISRAELS SECURITY GOALS ARE HELD HOSTAGE BY BIBIS SAFETY NEEDS !
Dankeschön Herr Levy!
Sie sind ein guter Mensch!🕊✌️🫶
being following Mr. Levy for sometime now, a man of principles, thank you.
“Israel will not willingly make peace, but will be forced to make peace.”
Gideon should compare Israel to the Titanic. Apparently invincible thanks to the backing of the Western world but when World order is resumed then the ice berg has surfaced…
people only asked for this evil war to end = and look at the treatment they got- just for asking the basics
He admirado a este periodista ,pero me ha decepcionado,no es un guerra es un genocidio y una oimpieza étnica.
Sweden also in 2014 but ye
Palestine was always there; it is rerecognition.
GIDEON LEVY: The Chosen of The G-D of Abraham. He Stands for the Downtrodden at the risk of his own life.
💚May the road rise up to meet you.
💚May the wind be always at your back.
💚May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
💚May God hold you in the palm of his hands
At this dreadful time, the world needs her heroes. What gifts we have in people like Gideon Levy; people who speak up in the face of lethal power.
Gideon is risking a lot he has had to have body guards before
Israehell is a genocidal society…it has forfeited its right to exist. It is NOT a jewish state….it is a Zionist aberration
You are nothing without America so get ready to swim 🏊♀️
listen to this brave journalist. stand up for peace!
Israeli Zionist supremacy is the greatest threat to humanity today
Few people walk the walk of their faith and are truth tellers. Gideon Levy is one of them.
I think that, due to israeli actions in Palestina, the world is becoming more and more against jewish.
Israeli self reflection is not a virtue they embrace, self entitlement is.
I am a 66-year-old woman who grew up in Germany. We were taught about the Holocaust and to always remember it in school. I was staunchly pro-Israel and I condemned any criticism of Israeli politics as antisemitism, that was just the default position to take. The actions by the Israeli government and by the IDF during the Gaza war, the callous disregard for human life, and for Palestinian freedom that has come to light during the siege of Gaza have turned me away from any sympathy for Israel I had regained in the last years. I am glad that there are voices like Mr. Levy’s in Israel still advocating for a level-headed view on Israeli politics and for basic human decency (which a lot of Israeli citizens seem to have lost in the past decades).
NO TERROR STATE will be allowed!
Mr. Gideon Levy, I am a Filipino, NOT Jew. I heard thy statement concerning the conflict of Israeli-Palestinian, and my comment is very simple. The Bible said, heaven and earth shall pass away but God’s word will still be there.
Two state solution is NO solution at all because it is a SIN SIN SIN against the WILL WILL WILL of the LORD GOD of Israel even the LORD JESUS CHRIST himself my Saviour the God that created heaven and earth.
Mr. Levy, thou are UNBIBLICAL. READ THE BIBLE.
He is self hatred Jew, and he punished already,he very sick,god punching him,he is the only judge.
Israel’s voice of conscience
Israel is out of control!
Big Never Again Shoutout 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿to South Africa 🇿🇦.
Israeli dit not behave itself. Israel had a lot of credit, and a log of crimes went under the rug
New rules:
1. Bank robbers will investigate the bank robberies and prosecute bank robbers.
2. Zionists will investigate genocide and pass judgement.
3. Nazis will hold their own Nuremberg trials.
What a great man! My deepest respect
Mr Gideon Levy you are spot on absolutely 100% … this approach in no way in my view detracts from Hamas being appalling … we are on the so called side of the majority of peaceful people on both and all sides so badly let down by deluded leaders . It’s not black or white … the deluded leaders have no right to destroy innocent lives. Mr Levy says it all so eloquently.
Until the US changes course towards Israel nothing will change
When a society turns away from Truth, they won’t last as a collective for long.
Gabor Mate, Ilan Pape, Norman Finkelstein, Gideon Levy all intelligent jewish men and all condemning the zionist stupidity in Israel. Many jewish intellectuals have had to leave Israel due to being targetted. Yet Israel government criticise other countries are “not democratic”. You can’t believe the hypocrisy and arrogance of them. As Gideon says, they are in complete denial
Al Jazeera is a pro-terrorist news org. 🤮
The Antisemitic card is played
