      It seems to have layers.. he says to give equal rights but didn’t say give back the land. He’s saying Israel does not want a 2 state solution, neither does Palestine.

      ​@@sustainableliving6319 the 2 state solution was the beginning for the 2 sides to come to the table I'm sure they began challenging thought and cultural differences they had already but made a formal statement about their differences that's clever even if 1 side was reluctant the other side was resourceful they might have not accepted it but gradually they were faced with it and familiarity must have taken affect being they had to challenge each other's positions and of course one was more resourceful and the other had needs they had to negotiate but most importantly compete with another for their own people that's when the offers come and other's play along taking sides one then doesn't feel alone or disadvantaged but is loved and find compassion they might not see it thinking something terrible has befallen them and feel urgency to make friends also with people they wouldn't have ran to without it they begin raising themselves up seeing it's about their lives and salvation from their own ways it is that God works in mysterious ways factor they made choices and decisions long before they rattled the people it was a sacrifice as Jesus had been sacrificed for the sins of people that not everyone was told what the purpose is because if they do they wouldn't use their free will long enough to realize they rather do God's will. 😟 some people don't know God because God will come like a thief in the night like Santa Claus but you will have to ask yourself what does this mean? Have mercy.

They all want to die for Jihad but after October everyone in Israel realize what needs to be done and now the whole world will see what happens when we want to attack, until now, many in Israel believed that the people in Gaza are good and it's just the terror organization who does the terrible things to Us but we've seen the videos we've seen civilians take action we've seen the parades and we've seen Hamas declaring that they don't have all the kidnapped which means that civilians got in and two kids do you realize how bad it is? There are no innocent people on the other side and there is no different if Hamas is a government or not we should treat them now is a small country who attacks us and hurts our civilians and we have every right to hurt them back

      I disagree.
      Levy, the eloquent Anti-Israel self hating Jew, ignores human rights abuse unless it can be linked to Israel.
      If an Arab Muslim in Gaza spoke so eloquently about the human rights abuses by Hamas at this Oxford Union forum…he’d afterwards, have his tongue cut out for speaking against Hamas. This would be followed by his legs being amputated without anesthesia for traveling/walking to Oxford.
      By Levy admitting that he’s more interested in human rights abuses when Israel commits them than when Hamas does, Levy is implying that he doesn’t really see human rights as universal.
      My guess is that you implicitly agree that human rights only apply to Hamas.

It's such a backhanded compliment to first say he's great but then say he's deficient in religion. Can't you give him the praise he's due without the "you'd be better if you were Muslim" bit?

    Notice how Likudnik Israel's most zealous defenders never actually rebut criticisms of its far-right government (see below). They merely resort to name calling in a desperate effort to smear anyone who dares to criticise policies/actions of the right-wing government of Israel. But then, everyone should feel sympathy for anyone assigned the hopeless task of defending the policies of a borderline fascist government (unless, perhaps, they are extremely well paid, or are clearly psychopathic).

      The Arab national cause formed during the first half of the 20th century. Fascism was the Fresh New Thing back then. Anti-Semitism was baked in, from the beginning. Made a lot of friends for the Arabs, down to today. They aren't giving it up. A Jew can never be an equal citizen of in an Arab country. Funny how the supporters of "Palestine" have no problem with Jewish expulsion, Jewish exclusion.

    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 Jewish 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.....

      The conduct of three British military units in Afghanistan came under serious question tonight after the Ministry of Defence released unprecedented details of incidents in which troops attacked Afghan civilians.
      The disclosure, in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act made by the Guardian, revealed that of the casualties caused by British forces, two-thirds involved troops from the three units, triggering calls for an inquiry into their behaviour.
      Releasing information about 21 incidents, the MoD revealed that the Coldstream Guards shot four civilians in Kabul over a period of three weeks; the Royal Marine commandos killed or wounded civilians eight times in six months; and the third unit, the Rifles, were involved in three incidents last year.
      Among the casualties were children, and on one occasion a man with mental health problems.
      Details of the attacks not released at the time, but among thousands of incidents mentioned by WikiLeaks.

      -Racist attacks against Muslim & minorities in UK- on the rise.
      -Politicians & media fuel hostility & prejudice against minorities (European report finds)
      -"Muslims, migrants, asylum-seekers & Gypsies-regularly presented in a negative light in the media," (European Commission Against Racism & Intolerance).
      -"Political debate in UK includes racist & xenophobic discourse."
      -The report says racist attacks against ethnic minorities tripled from 31,000 in '03 to 38,000.
      BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
      More than 13,000 race or discrimination cases - successfully prosecuted in the UK ('07-'08) against 8,800 for previous years.
      "More efforts needed to prevent violence from occurring" says the report.
      Asylum-seekers vulnerable to hasty decisions rejecting their claims, unnecessary detention & intense public hostility.
      "Proposals to consolidate immigration legislation foreshadow restrictive policies & hostility towards migrant workers appears to be increasing."
      BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
      -Ethnic minorities take the full brunt of racism in UK
      -Estimates of 87,000 ethnic minorities - victim of racially motivated crimes
      -Ethnic minorities have the worst unemployment & housing crises in the UK
      -70% of ethnic minorities live in the 88 most deprived areas, compared to 40% of the general population.
      -Stigmatized Muslims
      -ECRI- Muslims take the brunt of anti-terror measures in UK, including stop & search powers
      -Anti-terror provisions cause concern
      BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
      Many British Muslims, estimated at two million, have complained of maltreatment by police for no apparent reason other than being Muslim.
      "Research has shown that Muslims feel stigmatized and alienated by these measures," says the report.
      "Young Muslims who have been regularly stopped and searched feel increasingly marginalized."
      The controversial stop and search powers have been under repeated criticism from human rights groups in and outside Britain.
      BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
      A 2009 report by the independent reviewer of anti-terrorism legislation, Lord Carlile of Berriew, estimated that between 8,000 and 10,000 stops per month were taking place but none had resulted in convictions.
      In January, the European Court for Human Rights has dismissed the random police stop and search measures as a serious breach of human rights, asking London to suspended them.
