"Sanctions On Israel Are The Only Hope": Israel's Most Distinguished Journalist Gideon Levy 

I saw plenty of victimization of Russians in eastern Ukraine from 2014 onward. I'll bet the Russians saw it too

Russia just leveled a children's hospital with a x-22 missile have anything to say about this. Or are only interested in what happens in Israel.

The video had a bleak ending, but thank you, Owen. _South Africa 🇿🇦 stands with Palestine. BDS brought down South African Apartheid and it will also bring Apartheid Israel to it's knees. Long live Palestine 🇵🇸 and may it be free for people of all religions._

🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸🖤🇵🇸🤍🇵🇸💚🇵🇸

😞

Sadly it is.. it is time of truth is seen as lies while lie is perceived as truth...

To be honest comes down to dehumanising and racism, if they were white like the Ukrainians they would of stopped this already

Definitely dehumanization is foundation to all of this as is evident in the unilateral compassion shown and overall moral relativism. I think it also comes from ignorance, whether unintentional or part of the “emotional firewall” and other narratives inherent in this particular dynamic.

Too many angry people in an increasingly overpopulated world and ever increasing inequities regarding wealth.

they've ruined their own hearts. they became heartless

The moment they forcibly displaced people in 1948, they were already heartless. Israel didn't become tainted or evil, it always was an unjust project that robbed and killed many people.

💯

So correct sir

Not brilliant...just his usual Israel bashing...nothing new.

After my first visit to Palestine, I thought the people there are, maybe, the most patient people in the world. A few days of checkpoints and harassment and I was ready to flip out.

We can't even begin to imagine The Hard, Heartless Oppression of almost 80yrs!

That is not strictly speaking profound at all. Look th eword up in the dictionary. I think we understand it is being BOLD to say so, or illuminating.

semantics...@@chueewowee

@@tomanderson7129 I would have been flipping out at being at checkpoints and harassed, too.

What a load of nonsense. Before Israel there were no countries in the Middle East..you simply had European mandates and Ottoman Empires. I assume Iraq, Iran, Afgahnistan are all enemies of the USA because of Israel?? Give me a break

Great sentence

Exaclty

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍

Yeah get it BUT we've always made enemies everywhere reason the West has taken the piss!

Levy.

There are many like him still..

@@mkadi70 that's for sure.

@@mkadi70 true although still a minority, better than nothing tho...

Of course you have. Do you also respect the existence of the State of Israel?

If you're comfortable could explain how you were able to break out of the typical Israeli mindset. I know there are obviously Israelis who want peace and respect Palestinians but it seems to be the minority.

FREE ISRAEL too ONE STATE for all

"IsraHell", sums it up nicely. Star of David, is now the sign of "genocide in progress"

@@stephenchappell7512 and all Palestinians back to their land

💯

😢we're all deepen with our hearts bleeding for innocents heartbroken 💔

What exactly did USA do? Other than expressing disgust to the attack on Oct 7th and support for Israel in a restraint manner.

​@@CatalinTomescucan't say every, but most wars escalate because US intervenes, russia-ukraine war ( wasn't a proxy war at all), Israel- Palestine( just aided Israel ofc) , destroyed Iraq, wars on Haiti, Somalia, Vietnam, just to name a few...😂

Both Israel and USA have been founded on dehumanisation by Europeans, of original inhabitants of many many years. Naturally such criminals against humanity will support and encourage their partners in crime

Israel was founding on this behavior, that is why everyone is silent. It is the way.

You are on the right side of history. ❤ You have that in your heart.

You are not alone! ❤

Thank you for standing with humanity

Sometimes doing what is right turns you into a stranger in your own community. Don’t lose hope…it will pay off one day.

This clown? 😂🤣😆

@@Toby-wr6gz Are you a citizen of the world, and wish to contribute a small share to force Israel into a negotiated peace process? *Are you American, or European? Do you wish to bring the boys back home, from the multitude of military bases around the world, just like so many of your fellow citizens?* Just remember this: - You are not going to achieve it by voting in elections. - You are not going to achieve it by posting on social media. - You are not going to achieve it by debating on any plattform, real or virtual. - You are not going to achieve it by making use your "freedom of speech" in any way. - You are not going to achieve it by protesting in any possible way which will politically make a difference. *Here is what you can do, easily:* 1) Read Smedley-Butler/War is a Racket, a very short book (should be possible in a few hours) 2) realize that after around a 100 years, NOTHING has changed 3) start unravelling the connections between big business and Washington DC, by boycotting "big brands". *Boycott:* Much simpler than trying to remember the long loooong lists of what *not* to buy, and for whatever specific reasons, is to try and limit what one actually *does* buy: buy no-name brands, buy local foods (farmers markets), buy locally produced or handmade items, otherwise buy fair trade wherever possible. It is not a perfect strategy, but don't get sidelined by the whiners/finger pointers who will invariably ALWAYS show up like clockwork, trying to ridicule or nag with their dumb "...duh but your using a smartphone, but your using oil toooo"-gotcha style distractions. It is not MEANT to be "perfect"... *Methodology:* JDI and make it a _longterm lifestyle,_ not just a short-term knee-jerk "trend," because of some or other upsetting event in the news. Just boycott ALL corporations, as far as personally convenient and possible, and always remember that even if only 75% of all the people on the planet only get it right about 75% of the time, on roughly 75% of everything they buy, it will finally make a massive difference for all the causes _you_ also value. Want to bring the boys home? Do you wish to limit military actions to becoming multinational, following the principles of international law only, and independent of any corporate "interests." Do you wish to contribute to end western imperialist actions and meddling all over the world? You wish to contribute a small share to forcing Israel into a negotiated peace process? Do you wish to give small companies a better chance in the dog-eat-dog capitalist world in your country? *Join BDS, because the international cross-border politically influencial rich and powerfull only REALLY start caring when their pockets start hurting.* 👍👋

You're the clown troll.@@Toby-wr6gz

Not from owen Jones.... He dismissed Oct 7th where mutilated bodies were shown from Hamas

@@matthewsteedman3871 soldiers, yes, the civilians were killed by IDF

Absolutely 👍

don't forget the Iraqis either. criminal justice proceedings and *reparations* are the only conceivable means of restoring the faith of the world, which we've betrayed

Also the EU.

We arabs don't want retaliation from anyone. We are only asking for justice to our palestinians brothers and sisters.

@@adeltawfeek4847I understand but I think the country I live in (US) needs to be held accountable for their criminal actions. Israel especially needs to be held accountable. That would be justice.

Then stop voting Democrat.

@@Tom-kt8lu and you think Trump would be better?

​@@Tom-kt8lu lol trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem. How did that help exactly...

​@@FR33_PALESTIN33i do not understand you

We need more Gideon Levy's and less Eylon Levy's.

@@CelticKnightagreed, the other one has a mouth full of dung.

FYI there has been multiple people like him throughout Israel history, they got assassinated. By right wing Israeli extremism’s

If we had more Gideon levy we wouldn't talk about genocide, cuz we would have been dead

@@carmelhadar3495nice hypothetical genocide you’ve got there, any thoughts on the real and ongoing one Israel is perpetrating in Gaza?

By hiding behind children?

​@@Stafford674yep, and Israeli weapons killed their own and burned many babies.

@@williampatton7476no, that’s Israel they used a 14 year old as a meat shield

@@Stafford674I agree, and that’s why Israel are the villians

Very true

Very well said. It does feel like a big moment in history. I've a feeling things are going to change massively after this. Israel and Netanyahu are not going to come out of this well at all. It could well be a tipping point in this 75 year war.

remarkable how swiftly world opinion has shifted against israel and usa, against the inhumanity of netanyahu and the insanity of the biden administration.

​@@stephendoherty981why call it a war tho? The war will start if US continues this way

💯

That's for sure . I had doubts before but I see USA clearly now.

The Americans who are supporting Israel and supporting their leaders doing the same are damning the USA for Hundreds of years into the future. The whole world sees what is happening and sees the USA as complicit.

Americans can never see America the same again....I think we are all is shock...

Yes 💯 😢

It is not just Israel that is being condemned by the world so is the USA for aiding and abetting this genocide. The only thing the normal populations of the world can do is boycott USA and Israeli goods.

... Or the UK and others that enable Israel.

Incorrect , he is hated in Israel.

And Israel is now hated by the world. Israel has the same status as Russia now.@@lestrem11

More than 100 comments. Quite a sad existence, my friend. Hope you'll get better ​@@lestrem11

Of course he is hated in Israel...they hate the voice of truth empathy and informing the World of this genocide. OF course Israel hates him, he Is a thorn in their side.

And yet, the Palestinians have held on to their humanity through all of it

I agree

👍

Malcolm X visited Gaza’s Khan Younis refugee camp in 1964. He stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Free 🇵🇸

Great statement by a great man

Yep, since 1947

This is what I keep coming back to. The surprise that people feel, yet this ENTIRE time, since its founding, Israel has been an ethnostate with apartheid that began with a massive massacre and ethnic cleansing. None of this should be surprising. The only surprising part is how small the anti-occupation subset of the population has become. Otherwise, it's all predictable.

Exactly. It’s exhaustively documented in all arenas.

Ever since the gruesome Nakba!

🎯🎯🎯

Which countries are in danger apart from Israel? Perhaps just the reputation of the USA and its Western allies, who are accomplices in this present genocide.

All the best, fellow human❤

but he will never get it and we know why.

Nobel peace prize is a joke when Obomber and Kissinger got one, it's a slap in the face if you get one.

Do they go to Paradise?

If Palestine had had more people like him, the State of Israel wouldn’t have happened.

You have to use your heart if you're human 😢😢

​@@Ilyaz3207 while yes it is heartless, using your brain too you will realize its stupid. Free palestine.

I've had always been on Israel's side, but I'm disappointed to see how barbaric the IDF and Benjamin's government are. I had no idea!!

Israeli society has always been like this. This is the attitude that birthed their “nation”.

Calls out israels hiding as a "victim", and israhell igoring plight of others.

😂🤣😆

such an insensitive unintelligent response...@@Toby-wr6gz

I absolutely adore Owen and his work!!

Gideon Levy said : 25 years ago I asked Ehud Barak who was a candidate for Prime Minister : "If you would have been born a palestinian, what would you have become ?" Ehud Barak replied :" I would have joined a terror organization".

Mitnick the conscientious objector? If there were more like him, Israel wouldn't exist ....

If you received suitcases with money, like him, you would write that your grandmother was the Queen of Sheba

@@zambrota55proof?

Levy is a true monster. What does he expect Israel to do? Sit back and let Hamas continue launching more genocidal attacks? which even he admits was horrible. He is a true monster!

@@MichaelPetek Amalek is not the Palestinian people in this situation.

They got away with that lie to get rid of Corbyn and smash the left. Laid the groundwork for the support of Israeli genocide we see now. Sad

Palestine etc. Arabs are Semites. Israeli are Semites.?Israeli rightwing hates Arab aSemites. Israel rightwing are anti (Arab)’Semitic!!

Ooh...So well said...! Just take out the ol' "You're an anti- Semite" whenever you're cornered with the truth, Israelis...!

@@verapawlak5260 I am anti Russia but don't dislike Russians (except those hurting Ukrainians) I am anti Israel but not anti Israeli (except those supporting the disgusting treatment and murder of Palestinians both in Gaza antd the West Bank), I am anti The UK Government and the US Government for supporting Israel but not the people unless they support Israel or Russia too. How is any of that remotely racist as those crying that any criticism of Israel is anti-semitic would have others believe.
