Keynote Gideon Levy: The nature of democracy and human rights in Israel. 

My knowledge of the existence of Gideon Levy dates back to the 70s when I was still in high school. We obtained information about him at the time from certain specialist magazines and we could not even benefit from a photo of him to personalize him in the flesh. His articles were widely read and appreciated, and I myself keep graffiti in my memory several articles of him which helped me form a value judgment on the Israeli politics of the time. We were so impressed by his thinking and his courage, because he was the only Israeli capable of denouncing certain racist or criminal acts either by his government or by his fellow citizens. For this he enjoys an exceptional aura and unparalleled respect in both Moroccan intellectual and student circles. But since I had become a print journalist like him, I had begun to harbor certain doubts about his intellectual health; asking me a bunch of questions about its contradictory facets; because how is it possible for a talented journalist; who is at the same time a writer, to accept colonization? to live under the protection of an apartheid regime? to support the daily massacre of Palestinians? to never deny the lie maintained around the expulsion of the Jews from Palestine that another jewich writer has denied with supporting evidence ? And not to leave Palestine to save his reputation as required by professional ethics and the ethics of belonging to the family of writers ? I must admit that the analyzes of the historian Sclomo Sand are of impeccable clarity and that this intellectual is much more sincere; whose presentations are credible and scientific. Sclomo Sand does not go out of his way to tell the truth and from then on we understand why he is purposely put on the back burner; because his remarks disturb Zionists who do not like to hear the truth about the occupation. Sclomo Sand says he searched all the libraries for a single book on the expulsion of the Jews from Palestine two thousand years ago but found nothing. In contrast to this thesis, Gideon Levy's thesis is not clear at all.....

Gideon Levy is one of the few heroes left in the world, a real inspiration.

Gideon deserves the noble peace prize. He is an extraordinary human being.

So inspiring. I wish he were read more widely in Israel. But it is here in the US, where we need people to demand an end to the financial support of Israel's crimes. More people need to hear Levy's message. We need to ask our friends and neighbors to take the time to watch this video.

Peace on Earth. No more zionism worldwide.

Thank you so much for your BRAVE statements. We must all do our part to implement your suggestions. "It's time to punish Israel." 🙏🙏🙏🙏

MUST WATCH VIDEO

Levy is the best Israeli journalist and has way more integrity than any mainstream journalist in the west, and is absolutely correct on everything he said.

Deep respect for this man from an American Jew.

Oy Vey 😱 Darn you Gideon for articulating the truth so accurately.

Gideon Levy - one of the few humanitarian journalists in the world by all appearances. Good moral journalists are rare !

Amnesty International is calling on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to consider the crime of apartheid in its current investigation in the OPT and calls on all states to exercise universal jurisdiction to bring perpetrators of apartheid crimes to justice.

Gideon is 1 in millions

This hits differently now.

🙏🌿 bravo

To anyone that does not believe what Mr. Levy is saying, I say get your nose out of the bible and listen to or read what Norman Finkelstein, Miko Peled and Noam Chomsky say. They are all Jewish and say exactly the same thing. People that know and are un-afraid to tell the truth.

Very good lecture. Thank you!

Netanyahu and his cabinet of lunatics must go.

People should be listening to this today to educate themselves beyond reflexive responses like Nikki Haley, US presidential candidate for 2024, shrilling "Finish them" (referring to Hamas) in response to the attack on Oct 7.

I Appreciate his knowledge of Israel/Palestine, but comparing it to Ukraine doesn't work. Compare Russia /Ukraine to US/ Afganistan/ Iraq/ Syria...to start

These people lap it up bc they hate Israel.
