Israeli Journalist Gideon Levy: Israel Will Not Stop Wars & Occupation Until U.S. Pulls Support

Inside Israel, "there is no room for any question marks or doubts about this war," says journalist Gideon Levy, a columnist for Haaretz and a member of the newspaper's editorial board. He says war fever has taken over the country, with polls showing 93% support for the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, Lebanon and beyond - at least among the Jewish public. "Israel is doing as much as it can," he says. "As long as the American support is so massive, so blind and so automatic, this will go on."
Levy also criticizes Israel's military censorship system that strictly limits publishing information about war damage and other material deemed to be counter to national security. He says much of it is driven by self-censorship by a press that sees itself as "an agency of the government and of the military establishment, and this is very worrying."

I must be hard being sane in an insane society
We are coming a close second
and live in an insane country
It is it definitely is
It is.
Very… having to tolerate the weakest / foolish links… they could do better. Ignorance is a choice.
They have been attacking. So much blood shed. 😢 I am so sick to my soul!!!!
You will continue being sick
Welcome to Jewish and American Zionism, John warned us from Patmos, Nostradamus saw this time, We are the Great Whore of the world
Welcome to the world.
I watched Evil Dead last night. Every day feels like evil dead these days with all the scares and none of the laughs.
Innocent blood
Sickening. The US should not be supporting this. It's beyond comprehension.
This in'e the interview with Benji with 6 fingers lol.
It’s all really sickening, I am extremely pissed at United States and Israel.
Chk out majority Report video of Iranian military leader.
Hear what real military experience sounds like. 👍
Me or my future children will never support this country. The people and land are amazing. The Epstein class has ruined it
And they are pissed at you and Iran. 😅
YA SO WHAT? YOU AIN'T GONNA DO NOTHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@GeraldYniguez You sound like the blockheads that got us into this jam.
The are sick society
30% voted for Trump! More than 80% are AGAINST ALL OF THIS!
@littlewings911 NO WE'RE NOT LIEING LIBERAL OR IS IT KIA????????????????
it's a cult, not a normal state
The Germans had the right idea
Euthanasia!
Thank you Democracy Now for your independent coverage of the real impact of the War.
Mr. Levy is a brave man to report this information!
Agreed, I think the West needs to stop supporting Bibi Netanyahu and his empire building Crusade, killing everyone Bibi dislikes or hates and steal all their lands. See how tough Bibi and the IDF actually is, if there wasn't a billion dollars (US) by US TAXPAYERS, which is being spent every day in bombing Iran. Bibi is all talk and no trousers if TRump just stopped being his sycophantic patsie. If Bibi want to kill every Muslim on earth, then leave him to his own devices,, don't join in the genocide. US service people coming home in body bags for a war Bibi wants, this war is not America's, but the US will suffer decades of terrorist reprisals due to being Bibis pawn.
Hello@misskitty6586, how are you doing? I hope you’re having a great day and happy new year 🎉
Not brave at all. The level of dissent in Israel is equal to or more vociferous than the US. Commentators and reports speak out very openly and candidly against their government with no repercussions. One of the many reasons they have aligned with western cultures well.
@KIA64-h8z allowing a token opposition is the key to such a military state, and US is also a militaristic nation
@b@burgermind802ry silly comment. “Token opposition” is obviously ridiculous with respect to Israel and the US and there is no correlation between opposition and beings militaristic state.
The planet cannot afford to have a nation that believes it is superior of everyone because of an untestable god
Hence, Iran has to be conquered.
@elizabethbathory6144isreal is doing the very thing they claim iran would do. the pot calling the kettle black!
@elizabethbathory6144hence why Israel and USA needs to stop causing world wars
They USE God as their own twisted unrelenting self-aggrandizement and justification for their OWN will.
Wanna hear the kicker? Jews, Muslims and "Christians" all worship the SAME GOD. All Abrahamic religions. So much for claiming "god is good".
We will pull support ! No supporting genocide!
I don't know what reality you're living in, but it's DEFINITELY way too late for that!
Not as long as you have idiot Trump kissing Netanyahus butt.
I’m writing from Canada and so relieved and happy to see that Gideon Levy is well. I have faith in all that he says and admire his courage to stand up for what is right.
Thank you f your comment ❤.
Thank you very very much Mr. GIDEON LEVY
*DITTO* & yet, Canadian msm never allow him to speak or be heard...
Netanyahu has destroyed Israel by way of hatred towards the world. What you sew so shall you reap. I’ve had a major 180 degree turn away from Israel after the genocide in Gaza.
Thank you very much for your comment
Same, before Gaza i was blind. Now my eyes are open, they are a terrorist state.
The problem is not only Netanyahu, its the whole society.
Me too, I can’t believe I was so blind to this blood thirsty state.
You're not alone.
I just tells me there's a lot of sick people over there if you want to know the truth
from persecuted to sadistic persecutors. so very broken.
The jews have been killing Palestinians for over 100 years.
Do you really believe they lying just since yesterday?
@bobbolumina
Huh?
It makes you wonder if there wasn't something not covered in history courses explaining what exactly motivated the Holocaust. If this is typical for them, you can't help but wonder if they had it coming 🤔
@ponygirlusa
AH knew what the Rothschild's were up to.
In Gaza there is no war, only the systematic massacre and dispossession of the civilian population.
Exactly 😫
Yes and no.
Hamas’ Qassam brigades and a couple other groups are still there, still armed and capable of continuing the fight. But while Isr is not abiding by the ceasefire agreement, is continuing to bomb and attack Palestinians, they are abiding by it.
@mischevious It may be a semantic thing, but wars typically have battles. This is more of a genocide. And not even one IDF per day was killed, something like 1.5 every two days.
@isaiah5217Hammas launched over 10000 rockets into Israel the first week. You couldn't twist it into a pretzel and believe Hammas(Iran) is innocent.
@isaiah5217
Point taken but it can be both a war and a genocide. For me it’s a simple matter of acknowledgment of and respect for Palestinian fighters who have stood their ground and continued to fight. Who even now continue to make the complete takeover of Gaza impossible.
They don’t have to win an impossible war against their enemies to win. What they have to do is stay alive and continue to stand their ground on their own land.
Wake up Americans.
Iran is also fighting to free USA from Zionist Israel.
Iran can’t ever ever trust the US or Israel.
OK!
Thank you we need all the help getting these zionists out there message is that of a demon there’s no place for Zionism in the world
@theMaryAnneRNOBODY can
He is one of the few sane voices in Israel. He hasn’t lost his humanity.
If we stop funding them they wont start any sht. We are the ones giving them the money to keep this crap going!!!
US government funding the evil Israel wars not the American population. The USA government steals the American public's money and uses the money to support evil Israel government and their evil wars and terrorism
We are enabling Israel to commit atrocities💔
All the tax money aid US sends to Israel. The politicians here in the US get a kick back via AIPAC and others and do Israels bidding. Politicians will never stop unless we Make them
This is what happens when you trust your government and believe that politicians are _ever_ in it to do "the right thing" at a federal level.
Great point. Trump regime holds $$ hostage over Zelensky but gives Is a blank ck.
Criminality seems to be a feature with all Dictators. Their only intention is stealing 🇨🇦
Humanity is hard to find. Thank you for your steadfastness Gideon Levy.❤
the great man not just a truth infested journalist in this lying and lying world
Silly me. I assumed "Never Again" meant never again for any human being on Earth. Mandy Patinkin is correct when he says that Netanyahu is endangering Jewish people all over the world.
I sadly agree...😔
Also Zelensky who is sending to death the Slavic Gentiles of Ukraine
Clearly they don't view anyone but jews as human.
That's why they don't consider it a genocide and can't understand why anyone would object to it.
Kemana saja kamu selama ini. Kok baru tau 🙄
@catalincarceanu7991They are all the same.
Horrifying. I can only listen, read and think about this in small doses. Unfortunately innocent civilians, who are victims of despots and their cruel underlings have no such luxury, they duck, cry, and try get enough to eat and sleep as terror rains down.
All of this death and war just to keep Netanyahu and Trump out of prison.
Dominance. Power. and Control
.....and the Epstein files.
these two men are behaving like the domestic violence "Family Annihilator" types. Instead of facing accountability and punishment for their crimes, they will kill everyone.
Bibi Netanyahu is dead and Donald Trump is on his way out. Hopefully, Melania might decide to put him into a nursing home just in case he lingers.😅😅
If they people want it let them do it.
Gideon, you are a light in the dark!
When you don't listen to our I justices, people get killed. We are allowing predators to think if we want to do things alone, we can be harassed. That is the main problem in the USA and around the world. These extremely annoying people think if we want to be alone they can bother us and take advantage of us. Who thinks like that and feel they have a right to breathe after all the damages that they cause. They need to do something with themselves.
Good Jew
How is he still alive? Surprising
@Slllllll101
Yes, imagine what they did Yishak Rabin.
If you attack somebody home you should be ready if your home catches fire too
Yeah the reason no one’s talk about objectives is because they are all illegal and ridiculous.
Welcome to Christian Jewish Zionism, God warned us how many times? How many prophets will they kill, Jesus will be executed upon arrival!
An Israeli journalist willing to call out Netanyahu is a brave person.
What can be said about this information that we hear from this kind man from Israel about what is happening there… except simply to say that we must never forget what the USA has done for this project, which could never have been realized without it.
USA government politicians, billionaires, trillionaires, and trillion-dollar companies that are involved in this have blood on their hands up to above the elbows.
We must never forget how much suffering they have caused to the Palestinian people, and currently the suffering is affecting the entire Middle East and even African countries.
How can this be processed by the mind of a rational and reasonable person without that person remaining morally stable and emotionally torn into pieces?
Thanks to Gideon Levy for his selfless reporting and for putting himself and his family in a very uncomfortable and difficult position.
Well done America for your selfless support of injustice and the killing of civilians, the plundering and conquering of territories… blocking resolutions and placing vetoes on the cessation of war conflicts.
If this is the spreading of democracy and democracy itself - giving human rights and freedoms - I gladly accept that this democracy never sees the light of day, and I would gladly choose to live in the Middle Eastern states in the time before the creation of Israel, when Muslims, Jews, Christians, and others lived in prosperity, mutual respect, support, and coexistence that was normal for an ordinary person seeking a worthy and dignified life.
To live in a country that looks like a large concentration camp and say that it is the only Middle Eastern democracy… is like saying that a butcher will perform the most complicated surgical operation on your body.
P E A C E !
Netanyahu brags about "doing". They can't do anything without the taxes of Americans.
Americans could have had free health care if they didn't share our taxes with Israel.
And what's funny is ISREAL have free health care with American tax payers
exactly, he’s a parasite. Let Israel fight their own war
@kheranihk2022 And free higher education
They control everything they need through AIPAC. So just say goodbye to your so-called taxes. Idiot.
About time that revenue stream was severed.
This man, Gideon Levy, is an international hero. It takes a lot of courage to go against the grain and stand for what is right.
Israel is not a democracy. America. Is losing. Its democracy
May God bless this man for standing with truth
Please God keep this man and his family safe
Continue to cover him,with your never-ending grace and mercy which he so richly deserves
As he exposes the truth
AMEN
true voice!!!
Norman Finkelstein said," Problem is not just netanyahu, the whole Israeli Society is damaged to a point where "rot" exists at its core, characterized by an "obnoxious" and "narcissistic" nature.
I agree.
@마하-x9x
Agree 💯
Agree
Quoting Finkelstein demonstrates a combination of ridiculous anti western bias and ignorance. He makes Howard Zinn look reasonable and balanced.
@KIA64-h8z"The West won the world
not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion...but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do."
Samuel P. Huntington
This is the first time I've heard criticism inside Israel. Thank you sir. I hope you and your family stay safe
This all is happening with the blessings of US. This is shameful
Gideon Levy & Prof. Finkelstein men of utmost integrity, despite the horrific status quo..
Respectfully this ONLY HAS TRUMP MAGA BLESSING 26% NOT REST OF USA 74% .Thanks much.
Most non Americans (and far too many Americans) are clueless that it's been the U.S. fundamentalist, literalist, apocalyptic, evangelical, bible-thumping fanatical Christian groups (aka the white Christian Nationalists) who are highly conservative and largely Republican, who have demanded that the USA remains enmeshed and continues to support modern Israel with weapons and military interventions.
And material support
@WWZenaDoTrue Christians will not support this unholy war! Trump's foolish and unnecessary war!
93%. Keep refusing them at airports and other countries
Good, keep them in Israel.
It tears my heart - heartbreaking 😢
not 2 years of another War Gideon. A GENOCIDE ,
Gideon Levy is a credit to humanity. He is one of very few remaining liberal and realistic person in Israel. They are very few and far between.
You want this war Israel? Then fight it yourself!!!

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. The abused have become the abusers
That’s a better way to put it than I did! Thx
You are correct but it’s not the holocaust it was the Romans.
It would be comforting to think that, but Zionism predates Nazism (both Austrian, incidentally) and they were conducting themselves like this in the late 19th century, and were already well under way with their terrorism of Palestinians when the Brownshirts emerged. In reality, Nazism was fighting Zionism for ethnosupremacist dominance, one would have to conclude?
Do you believe they started lying yesterday?
So many people dont believe they were ever abused now.
Gédéon Lévy,... a voice in the wilderness !!! Let us hope for a collective awakening around this man of conscience and peace!
A giant of a man. How he must be hated in Israel.
He's being coy and basically just saying: "slow down! not so obvious!!". Eretz Israel has been the agenda since day one in 1948 and he certainly knows it. Liberal and revisionists zionists are two sides of the same coin. Don't forget that Mussolini (buddies w/ Netanyahu's father's mentor Zev Jabotinsky) was head of the top Marxist newspaper in Italy before (very quickly) re-inventing himself as fascist. His main "a ha" moment was realizing in the aftermath of WW1 that the masses are not willing to die for class struggle, bit they damn well ~will~ die for _"their" country._ The rest fell into place, and quite rapidly.
@treefrog1956Not Israel but Netanjahu
@sunrise1712 95% of Israelis support Netanyahu in his terrorist attack on Iran.
@treefrog1956 Collective insanity.
Thanks for this very interesting video. I learned a lot. Thanks for the lovely man explaining the situation very well.
We need more like Gideon Levy
Please no. Don't create giddiness. True motives are camouflaged.
@jamilabagash149 wtf are you going on about...??????? 😂 Gideon is an amazing man.....
I was more impressed by him until I found out he's a misogynist and a transphobe who spreads misinformation. I do appreciate his fight with Israel and support of Palestinians
Gideon is a lone star in a sick pit of EVIL
One crazy person is enough, thank you
Sadly its a sense of entitlement and feeling of superiority over other humans that they actually believe. Even to the point of bomb shelter not accessible to everyone. Shocking.
Given that what you state is a core part of judaic beliefs, it's hardly surprising.
Most of the Israelis are quite secular and not religously motivated - so Judaism does not matter. - and Jews and Israelis are not the same. Younger New York Jews are critical of the state of Israel - But you must look at the Zionists that were active in Palestine. WHO came from 1880, 1890 on when the Osman Empire still ruled (and had ensured peaceful co-existence for approx. 400 years). Highly ideological Zionists from Central Euroe. Often well educated even wealthy individuals. Opressive laws had been lifted in the more developed European countries thanks to the enlightenment, Jewish citizens did well there was jealousy of the rest of the population. Some Jews were done with it a and did not want to put up with (covert, informal) discrimination anymore. Most European Jews wanted to be fully integrated / accepted citzens, but some thought they needed their own colonial state (founded with the help of other powerful states).
And as part of the bourgousie those Zionists had on average the same prejudices as the middle and upper middle class of their time - minus anti Jewish sentiment of course. So those Zionist liked colonialism and driving out the lowly natives and the not lily white people with darker skin to seize control over land - that was totally O.K. It was not O.K. when _they_ were discriminated against. But a lot of Zionist had no problem to discriminate against Arabs. And Palestine was not the only future homeland that was discussed. A colony in Africa or Asia or Latin America would also have been O.K. And as this was to be a settler state, the locals had to be driven out or killed (this logical conclusion was not overtly announced even in 1880 that was too much for general sensitivities).
So Zionists with a land grabbing agenda and fierce convictions about their rights (entitlement) came to Palestine under the Osman empire. With the dream of a Zionist Supremacist state and they did not think anything was wrong with that. But under the Osman rule they were too few and the rulers would not have tolerated trouble makers anyway.
The other group that came as early and in higher numbers were Jews from Eastern Europe. In Poland and Russia and what is Ukraine today (who controlled what territory changed often, it is a "border" region. And the population moved around a lot, was exposed to different languages and cultures. But in the last decades before and until end of WW1 Ukraine was part of the Russian empire. Russia, Poland had a tradition of having progroms and to not let Jews settle with the general polation. Ghetto was a Polish term and it existed long before the Germans occupied. Then it became a terrible place to leave, and they could not even leave during day.
It was especially bad in what is now West Ukraine (then belonging to Russia, but there was some Polish influence for historical reasons - which did not help regarding contempt towards Jews).
Anyway even as late as 1900 they had progroms in the Russian empire and the czar could not or would not stop that. Huge territory, underdevelopped, somewhat local events but affecting a lot of people. - comparable to extended mob attacks and lynchings.
So the people that fled to Palestine then, usually were traumatized, pissed off, often poor, often undereducated but with an appreciation for education being open to them. Likely with little empathy for the suffering of other people too busy with survival and their own trauma. The Zionists bought up land from absent feudal land owners ignored the traditional grazing and water rights of the locals. The wealthy (European) Zionists controlled the funds and the land, and if a poor Jew from Russia want some help to get started and access to the land (as a lease) he or she better be aligned with the Zionist agenda. And their children grew up in that system of beliefs.
Late 1920s the first violent clashes. Between Arabs and Jews. Both population groups had grown a lot, the Jewish much much more. I think they had reached 30 % of the population, so massive, massive immigration. Arabs also could read the Balfour Declaration, observed behavior (the Zionists settlements were often not very neighbourly. Driving out old tenants, locals. Only leasing to Jews (aligned Jews). Later leading Zionists objected that non-Jews were even employed as farm hands. That worked because they had a large influx of Eastern European / Russian Jews that made up the lower working class.
Then have a look at the guerialla / terrorist groups that were at large since the 1930. There were Arab revolts, a General strike, and the Brits needed to concentrate on WW2 so they did not allow anymore migration to Palestine during WW2, so to not antagonize the Arabs / Palestinians even more.
People migrated a lot in the region, what is Jordan, Syria, Egypt now .... that was normal and the Osmans had secured the peace for several centuries.
The people that came until the end of WW2 were dyed in the wool Zionists and convinced they were entitled and also that "They" would get them if they did not lash out before.
The most vicious guerilla leaders / leaders of terror groups became later the leaders of Israel, compare the names of Zionist terror acts, you will stumble upon a few names.
Netanjahu grew up in the U.S. His father was a fierce Zionist .....
Fast forward 70 years (or more if you go back to 1880, 1890 this is when it really started). You have an entitled society, generational trauma, they are coming for us so let's get them first attitude, delusion, brainwashing (People that were children at the end of WW2) now have grand grandchildren - if they are still alive they are well into their 80s). JEWS are not entitled. Zionists and Israelis are (or way too many of them). And another thing. the people that saw the injustice often left. Because of the Holocaust they often could benefit from generous immigration laws, certainly in Europe. Starting with Germany, which is a large and wealthy nation.
Or the U.K. - it also has a large Jewish community since WW2 (or they came shortly before that).
So it was a self selection and self radicalization and brainwashing. The small language group plays a role, before the internet (when the Israeli "identity" and mindset was long settled) Isreal was a closed-off ecosystem. When it came to certain informations, politics and views on human rights (of Palestinians). Israely could live in a bubble while travelling a lot internationally. But the offical narrative was never challenged.
And they exerted enough influence on the owners of large media outlet, that this mindset was internationally validated.
@versioncity1 Also consider how the new state of Israel got other Jews to leave their homes and businesses in North Africa and Arab states behind (underhanded tactics, false flag events). These people and tactics shaped the mindset of the new nation. They realized how valuable coercion, false flag, decapitation, and good control over media is. And then they detected the usefulness of refering to being victims of the Holocaust. Most people living in Israel in the 1950s and 1960s had not suffered directly from it nor had they lost family members.
At the end of WW:
Jews either returned to to their home country in Europe or reappered from underground (if they were from Europe and had survived) and many even returned to Germany. The Allied forces made sure they were safe and their property rights were restored. Or there was the chance to get some money even if it had not yet been paid out when Israel was founded. So why would a Dutch, French, German Jew migrate to a newly founded nation, with (rightfully) hostile neighbours - if they wanted "pioneer" life, maybe more war, and uncertainty they could have that in Europe (but still under much better and much more predictable conditions). I do not think surviving Jews felt unsafe in daily life after the Nazis were beaten, not even in Germany. Not the psychological effect but what they consciously knew.
(I know people whose grandparents survived, and the mother was tiny when the war ended) they returned to Berlin also hoping for a restoration of some of their property. Did not work out, it was in the Soviet controlled area, and the Soviets were not keen on private property rights.
But I guess they got something from the provisory state and later the new Federal Republic.
If people could not stomach to stay where people had betrayed them (at least some, think France, Netherlands, ... ) they might have considered to emigrate - but then why not try for Canada, the U.S. or another European country, ....
So Israel had to MAKE Jews come. The religious crowd would come no questions asked, but especially the highly educated, secular, wealthy and young Jews from Europe and the U.S. had better plans. And the European Jews that had been taken in by the U.K. when the Nazi persecution started, were also not eager to come. Sure there was post war rationing and the recovery was more sluggish than on the continent. But things got better and at least they knew life, customs and LANGUAGE.
So for the state of Israel in desperate needs of new settlers coming quickly (to outnumber the Arabs in the land and to staff the military) - underhanded tactics towards the Arab / North African Jews it was. To make them come and become the very much needed new settlers. The (Easter)n European Jews were at the top of the hierarchy (I think they still are, the ruling class of Israel is of Eastern european descent. Netanjahu's family was from Poland and he had a fitting name, before he changed it).
The Arab Jews were less than - but they were needed.
Jews from North Africa, Syria, Iraq .... were more religious (Next Year In Jerusalem, praying for the return was part of the religious customs) and Israel also used coercion (paying hooligans vandalizing Jewish businesses - no harm to life or body. Property damage and scaring them about the alleged new hostility by their Arab neighbours. Or bombing synagogues - usually the false flag event was meant not to harm humans especially not Jews, but to scare Jews and to forment tensions between the main population and the Jews. Also colluding with a dictatorial monarch, if that was an option, so they would repress Jews to motivate them also to leave (not sure either Morocco or Algier, look it up). Money, military and diplomatic backup of the U.S. of course. One such monarchy was finacially compensated for the favour.
The U.S. wanted a little colonial European settler state / outpost. with more valuable white people and even if they were Jews they were still closer than people with browner skin. So the new state of Israel could be leveraged to promote U.S. and U.K. interests, it was a landing strip in case there would be problems with oil (or war looming).
So that outside mindset also did not promote the gently, fairly minded progressive people into leadership.
Israel presented a partially progressive face - to the world for PR reasons and also for their own citizens (the people with rights), to have a certain, modern narrative. That would also attract highly educated people once the state was better established.
Later (after the first Nabka, so they did not see that or participate) the traumatized survivors of the Holocaust arrived (they were long seen as an embarrassement to Jews, Zionism). only later the Holocaust Industry (as Norman Finkelstein, also Jew calls it) developped, and the Holocaust card was strategically exploited.
Until the late 1950s / into the 1960s the Holocaustwas not much talked about. Zionists did not want Jews to be seen as victims.
The new lore was: were terribly persecuted, but in the end they rose like Pheoenix out of the ashes.
Not granting Palestinians anything relevant kept tensions high. A society where "we are out to get us, let's close the ranks" is brainwashed into generations ... that is very helpful for _certain_ parties and politicians.
And takeing the property of driven out Palestinians was lucrative. Early days Zionists had made a good cut when they were among the leaders (of the militias) or become part of the early political and administrative elites. They had of course access to stolen and attractive property. These people continued to be in charge, so they could keep the spoils of war.
@franziskani A deceptive text. Some truth, many half-truths and lies.There was no "tradition of pogroms" in Poland..The word ghetto (originally often spelled ghèto) comes from the Venetian dialect.
Only the human Gideon Lavy very articulate, wise, brave and courageous also a truthful human.May God bless him for thousands of years to live in this beautiful Earth! Amy also !
Protect Gideon! The one sane voice in Tel Aviv 💜🕊️
This is so beyond comprehension! WHY is this still happening 😢👿
Because they are backed by Trump and his administration. And nothing according to Trump can stop him except his morals!! So do you see where this is going?
USA USA USA. THE ANSWER
@stuartgreenwood9589😢
The U.S. government
I don’t see any big protests in America. Largely a docile population. There was a national one the other day but I went to an Iran war protest last week and in a city of 850,000 where I live there were a few hundred people at best. No more protests for Gaza since Trump, at the behest of Iz and their lobbies here, have arrested people not only on universities but anywhere to silence them and suppress our constitutional rights to free speech and to gather.
It's not a war. It's a genocide. Full stop.
Good that you point that out! It's not a "war", it's a genocide. Indeed!
Well done, Gideon Levy, do not ever stop
!!!!
I was looking the butcher Netanyahu EARS he needs to be careful on a windy days , it will fly into the mediterranean sea forever,
Israelis soldier? No isreali mercenaries. Any so-called isreali soldiers or anyone with an isreali passport entering the EU should be arrested and investigated for crimes against humanity.
So, the real culprits are those who support Israel from USA!!!
This is horrific. Thank you for your work.
Im disgusted with these warmongers.
Well said Mr Gideon !!!
Netanyahu is the greatest warmonger of the 21st century; the US has helped him for decades.
It needs to end. ENOUGH.
The US give him standing ovations. Seems like isreal has US by its balls.
Nobody is insane to support so blindly. There is more to it than just friendly relationship between israel and usa.
The US and Israel are welded at the hip.
The USA government when controlled by republicants is worse.
The first video of Netenyahoo at 0:42 is AI. look at the left hand and the length of his fingers. It's OBVIOUS AI slop.
What the world is seeing in Gaza, Ukraine, Lebanon, Iran, will be happening in your backyard... unless the rest of the world stops them. The rest of the world must immediately boycott, shun, call for general strikes... there are more of us than them!😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
ABSOLUTELY!
The Ukraine war is because of an American Coup and proxy war with Russia and the US involvement with the Nazi party and military in Ukraine.
Ukrainians were given the green light by Americans and they believed the Americans. Russia only wants NATO not to move east and if the world doesn't think Russia should make such a demand then Russia should be able to keep its missiles in Cuba.
Madness...madness...madness...a marvelous journalist Levy.
I am from a Jewish line, although don't practice. I am deeply dismayed at what has happened in Israel. Not a dime to these monsters from my taxes.
But... you don't have a say in that. You cannot just stop paying taxes, let alone decide how your tax dollars are spent. So... although understandable, your remark is nothing more than moral statement. You don't agree with that criminal policy, Ok. But then what?!
Amy Goodman
True Global Patriot !
Saint
truly, she is a saint
But democracy is what has caused this predicament.
Thank you.
Every Middle East country should be paying close attention to this. DO NOT TRUST AMERICA!
Or Israel!
America was hijacked by isreal decades ago. Isreal is so evil, and Americans keep begging our gov to stand up to isreal and refuse. But every time we have a brave person do that in congress or senate or house, they get kicked out by republican and Democrat. If the voters here would get smart and understand, we can stop this by voting for other political parties. The facts are that we have 24 other political parties to choose from that have more of a probability to not serve Isreal yet. 🤔
@jilliantatum769Unfortunately we're not voting our way out of this. They're selections, not elections. They don't give us choice, simply the illusion of it.
What the Empire is doing is not new.
Its only new to us because the Genocide in Gaza was the deed that opened the eyes of the world, and the Epstein files was the missing link that showed us how the Deep State and AIPAC controls the wars and all governments.
That's what is scary. Anyone with a functional brain knows this because now it is out in the open for everyone to see. They haven't even tried to conceal it. Every time someone like Trump, Satanyahu, or Kegsbreth opens their pie-holes we already know that they are lying. We know too much now, and I for one wish that I didn't.
Funny that the people who complained about the "deep state " were actually 100% rapidly supporting it. Trump IS the Deep State, projection is the Republican way, as is lying, and we've all been duped for centuries.
😂FINALLY. The truth is coming out and it's delicious.
The murderers reveal THEMSELVES. And they keep receipts. 😂
Amazing and revealing interview. Thank you Amy and yuan.
Thank you so much for your moral clarity, Gideon Levy!
Thank You Gideon Levy!
Thank you for this reporting!
You are a gutsy lady Amy. Godspeed to you!
Yes the genocide is supported and sanctioned by the USA. We as European citizens know who the real terrorists are, it’s not Iran, it’s Israel and its warmongering proxy the USA. Save Palestine, stop the genocide in Gaza, support Iran in this illegal and unprovoked war against Iran, and finally bring war criminals Netanyahu and DT. This should be the priority of the international community, our European leaders need to stop the hypocrisy and grow a moral spine and bring the war criminals to justice!
Thank you f your comment
I'm sure you know that the US isn't here only country supporting the g3n0c1de. Virtually all western countries support IsrealHell. The west wants to keep their control of the region which means propping up Israel as the neighbourhood bully
good thing in Europe people are weaking up= they should dismantle the alliance with the USA find the way to make their economy grow separate from the alliance=
Supported also by European states like Great Britain, Hungary, Germany, Czechia and Italy until recently as even their conservatives shifted but her government kept exporting for a long while weapons. Germany and Britain sent a lot of weapons during the genocide. Countries that spoke out against were Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Slovenia. European citizens are different than the governments, but too many governments were complicit, not just the USA.
@Bazza5000 Its a whole circle of elites and the governments they control through media manipulation bribery and rigging of global financial systems oil and particular industries in which they have heavily invested into in particular the military industrial complex and fossil fuels that have advantageous profit margins when violence and unrest occurs in the Middle East region. Naturally it has serious ramifications for the rest of the global economy but they don't care about that only about increasing their own profit margins for a larger return on investment. This political doctrine has been especially powerful since the end of WW2 when the USA emerged as the sole effective global hegemonic power and chose to establish its empire on oil and military aggression across the globe.
Breaking the cycle of violence will require attacking the systemic roots of this system recognizing that American influence is weakening as the roots of its economic empire are basically killing our civilization in multiple compounding ways while domestically leading to ballooning oversized debts, of which the billionaire class collects large interest payment returns funded entirely by American tax dollars and foreign wars as the Neoliberal establishment schemes to cut government services and the social safety net wherever possible to protect their overstretched petrochemical military industrial complex for as long as they can. Their violent escalation is in many respects a last mad rush to take as much as they can before this ship fully sinks so they can invest into their new techno feudal mass surveillance scheme to place themselves as the new nobility positioned to use autonomous weapons and terror to repress the discontent masses having taken 20th century dystopian fictions warnings as inspiration.
Organize and attack their foreign wars, their efforts to lock in fossil fuel investments and the energy expensive data centers which are cornerstone to their new AI surveillance Police state scheme, backing autonomous weapons and targeted assassinations of political enemies while locking in a new market they control for their fossil fuels to counter against the rise of green energy.
Its all connected and only attacking them at all angles and raising awareness about this to catalyze more organized grass roots resistance will be able to finally put an end to their long reign of violence, propaganda, weaponized terror and gaslighting.
How can Gideon Levy report the truth and not be arrested or killed like all others who dare to report the truth that is critical of the Nations leaders
Sadly neither Trump or Netanyahu care about International Law
Macabre Madness
they do not care about international law they think they are above any law not just international law= who is going to stop them??
Nor can they accept they are bald, maybe that’s the source of their anger.
I am amazed that El Haaratz has not kicked him out.Stay strong Mr.Levy,your voice is needed!!!
...Or killed him. That seems to be the Israeli way.
May journalists survive this barbarism.
Mr Levi we thank you from Ireland
The Malignant Narcissist Club is in charge. Netanyahu and Drumpf are birds of a feather.
Much appreciation and respect to Mr. Levy 🙏🏻
Thank you Gideon, brave man who puts honesty and truth first. 👍🫡🙏🍉🕊️🇦🇺
Its a damn shame people having no homes, no food, no drinking water, no hospital,no humanity, no compassion. This is not what God wants from us
Stay safe Gideon.💞
Same wishes and respect from Hungary!
@latralla4577 I am joining in... 🇩🇪
With OUR money!!
Money they borrowed with the American taxpayer getting the bill for decades
hero
I am sick!😢
Me too
Thanks Gideon. You are a special human being.
I am amazed he is alive and allowed to give his thoughts. Full respect to him, everyone needs to see and hear this
I had no idea it was that bad in the West Bank. Just goes to show how much of the press is being controlled. Many thanks to Gideon Levy for his honest reporting. We need more brave journalists like him.
Israel is an apartheid state and it has committed genocide.
@futakiearsI agree. 😢
IDF terrorize the Occupied West Bank in the name of protecting Israeli settlers , which they put there to occupy the territory in the first place.
@futakiears has committed and is still committing genocide ;_;
Israeli invaders, not settlers. You cannot settle a land where people are already living. You can only invade it illegally.
Thank you for reporting this truth
Gideon Levy, a renowned journalist, a respected and honorable figure for his consistency, his intellectual honesty, his human dignity, and his love for true Judaism. Thank you so much for giving voice to such honest and upright people, examples of ethics and morality for the new generations.
Gaza not was a war, is a genocide ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Applause to Gideon for his courage and persistence in bringing out the truths in the dark world of lies concocted by the Israeli regime. Please keep reporting!
dankje voor deze vlog
Cum am ajuns sa permitem asa ceva ?! Nu mai avem pic de omenie. Nici nu am cuvinte sa-mi exprim revolta. Fiecare om pe planeta Pamant este direct raspunzator. Noi punem toti criminalii in functii, noi ii mentinem acolo si noi alimentam armatele lor. Eu sunt din Romania si caut informatii pentru ca si-n Romania cenzura este la tot pasul. Nu avem surse reale de informare, doar propaganda guvernamentala. Este incredibil !... Va multumesc dle Levy si Democracy Now , multumesc !
.
Thank you Democracy Now!, I am so gratefully reliant on your excellent journalism every single morning at 8:00 AM Eastern time!
And how many non jews were allowed into the bomb shelter?????????????? NONE
Gideon Levy has great moral courage
And this just about sums it up!
Gideon is so brave. I hope he stays safe.
United States of Israel!
And Gaza? No shelters? Genocide!
My favourite Israeli journalist.
Amira Hass is amazing too but she’s not as well-known in English media.
Gidion Levi , a hero , always ❤
