Gideon Levy is an award winning Israeli journalist who brings to light the injustices faced by the Palestinian people. Dutch journalist Bram Vermeulen spoke with Gideon Levy a few weeks before the ceasefire. They discuss the destruction of Gaza, recognition of Palestine by European countries, and the ways in which the genocide is denied through daily life in Tel Aviv - where people in the streets can hear the bombs but choose to ignore them.

Transcript

I'm Israeli like any other one and I

carry all the responsibility like any

other Israeli. There is no Palestinian

state and unfortunately I think there

will never be one. Israel in it is in

its worst condition ever go.

Actually, all the Israelis we spoke to

this week um are 100% behind the actions

of Israel inside Gaza. And they are even

saying that the images coming out of

Gaza are fake news.

That's a typical product of a very

efficient brainwash system

that the Israelis are unfortunately

exposed to. They choose it.

The media chooses not to tell Israelis

what's going on in Gaza. And the

Israelis are very happy about it. They

don't want to know. And instead, we are

still all of us on the 7th of October

with all the atrocities and crimes which

were horrible and the hostages which is

also a horrible scene. But what about

2.3 million people who are dying in

starvation, who are killed in dozens

every day systematically.

What about making Gaza an unlivable

place on a systematic basis? Every day.

Every day. Another neighborhood, another

village, another quarter. Yeah.

So, is that proof of that um the

citizens of this country are in complete

denial

or or does everyone know what is going

on?

Israel is in denial for many years

because they deny also the occupation.

For them, the occupation is a normal

phenomena. The fact that 5 million

people have no rights for them, for most

of the Israelis, it's normality.

not to speak about it that it is

legitimate.

And now the 7th of October also gave

them much more power to deny because all

of a sudden we are the victims. They are

comparing it to the Holocaust. They say

it's the second catastrophe after the

Holocaust as if it's comparable at all.

Right. But are you saying that Israel

has actually always been like that or

the 7th of October has radicalized?

Israel has both both are true. Israel

always lived in denial. By the way, ever

since it was born, ever since the first

lie about a people without a land which

arrives to a land without a people. This

was the first denial of Zionism. But it

lives in a denial. After the 7th of

October, we came out of the closet. Now

the deny is much deeper and also the

legitimacy to commit crimes is much

bigger because look what they have done

to us. So now we have the right to do

whatever we want.

Uh big countries like France, the UK,

Canada, Australia are now recognizing

the Palestinian state. Do you feel that

this is going to force the Israeli

government to change their course?

Even not for a second. It is a hollow

lip service. I've been yesterday to the

West Bank on the day of the declaration.

What do you think changed there? There

is no Palestinian state and

unfortunately I think there will never

be one because the only state which

counts for this is Israel and Israel

will never recognize a real viable

Palestinian state.

And those recognitions in the UN and the

initiative of France and others very

impressive but it is a hollow lip

service to show your public opinions

that you are doing something for Gaza.

It will not stop the war. It will not

promote a Palestinian state. We are

farer than ever from a Palestinian

state.

So who is this recognition for?

For their own public opinions, for their

own consciousness, for their own moral

thinking. Here we do something. There is

a genocide and here we do something. We

just don't sit and do nothing. We are

doing something. Nothing more than this.

Can you show on the map what is actually

left of the Palestinian state as it was

envisioned?

First of all, the Palestinian state was

the entire land

until 48. There was the the plan of of

dividing the land and the Palestinians

said no. You have to remember this.

Israel said yes. Yes. You can see it

maybe in my book. And what is left, what

is totally left is 25 around 25% of the

original Palestine. And now Israel is

not ready even over the 25. We want them

to compromise not over the whole land.

We want them to compromise over the 25%.

Even this we are not ready.

And there will be never a Palestinian

state here because in these 25% which

are left, namely the West Bank and Gaza.

But in the West Bank, there are 700,000

settlers. Who is going to evacuate them?

They are part of them very violent

people. It will be impossible that they

will live under Palestinian authority.

And if they are not evacuated, you don't

have a Palestinian state. We have to

change the discourse. We have to realize

that the Palestinian state is a train

that left the station and not continue

to talk about it while knowing that it

will never happen.

What should countries of Europe, let's

just talk about that do or what can they

do at this stage? What would be more

effective?

Just ask yourself what did you do

especially your country but others what

did you do visav the first apartite

state namely South Africa it was working

so well

after my visits in South Africa they all

say that the real changing the game

changer was when the commercial

community the business community came to

the prime minister and to the government

and said we cannot take it anymore this

boycott kills us we cannot take it

anymore.

So economic sanctions, that's

any kind of things which will make

Israelis accountable for the crimes. It

is impossible that we will continue to

commit a genocide and life in Tel Aviv

will be the same like it was before.

This is not normal. The fact that

restaurants and cafes are here so

overpacked is not normal. When one hour

drive from here people are massacred.

So we have to start to pay for it and to

be punished for it. And maybe this will

make the Israelis think about it.

The Netherlands is a big investor in in

Israel.

So what should the government do?

Exactly what he did with South Africa.

Exactly the same. If you want really to

influence, if you want just to pay lip

service, recognize Palestine, condemn

Israel, you might even call the

ambassador back to Amsterdam.

This will not affect Israel. What if

they don't do anything? What will be the

consequence of of the reputation

of the European Union?

I don't think it's about with all due

respect, the reputation of Europe

doesn't interest me. What will be is

that Gaza will be totally ethnic

cleansed. There will be no Palestinians

living in Gaza. I don't know where will

they send them. Part of them will be

killed. Part of them will be expelled.

And there will be this

bonanza that they talk about, the

Riviera that Donald Trump talks about,

which will never happen. There will be

this Riviera in Gaza and people will

make money out of Gaza and 2.3 million

people will starve somewhere else.

Yeah. You have been a very outspoken

critic to this government. You write

this in columns in in your book also.

You you actually wrote that the seven of

October attack was the result of the

arrogance of Israel.

Yeah.

What happens if you write these things?

I mean socially where you live, your

friends, your family.

For sure. It was the hardest two years

in my life. I I write those things for

many years, but I was never so lonely.

you become more alien al alienated

because by the end of the day those

young people they see in the streets who

come from Gaza they all committed crimes

there all of them committed crimes there

it's not very pleasant to be in a place

where you know that you are surrounded

by parents and friends and cousins and I

don't know what who who committed those

crimes on a daily basis

I told an Israeli colleague of ours that

I was going to interview you and he said

why is the international press always

going to Gideon Levy because he's such a

minority voice actually in Israel

I used to appear very often on Israeli

TV I participate in a panel twice three

times a week in prime time ever since

the war started I was twice on Israeli

TV I'm on all the outlets in the world

except of Israeli TV nothing

you feel the isolation.

Can Israel come back from this from

everything that we're seeing now?

The truth is that I would love to say

that yes, that tomorrow will be a new

day and we'll have a better government

and everything will solve. I don't see

how we are getting out of this. I don't

see how it's in many ways irreversible.

the damages to the society, the damages

to Israel's democracy, the democracy for

the Jews, the damages for Israel's image

in the world, the damage for so many

fields is irreversible. Even if

Netanyahu will go and he will go

apparently one day,

all the alternative candidates, they all

support the war, they all support the

genocide, they all support the ethnic

cleansing, they all support the aparta,

they all support the occupation, even

not one of them was in even in favor of

the recognition of Europe in the

Palestinian state. None of the

opposition leaders, no one was in favor

of this step, which is just a symbolic

step. Yeah. So, do you really think that

Israel will be saved by a different

alternative government?

I have my doubts.

Has the government of Prime Minister

Netanyahu actually made Israel safer

with all of this?

You must be joking. I guess Israel in

its is in its worst condition ever.

Israelis are afraid to go abroad either

because they are afraid or because they

are ashamed. It's very unpleasant and

maybe dangerous to be an Israeli abroad

today. It's very dangerous to be a Jew

in Israel. It's the most dangerous place

for Jews in the world today. No doubt

about it. Most of the Jews who were were

killed in the last two years were here

obviously and will continue to be here.

Sirens are still from time to time

sending us to the shelter in the middle

of the night. What do you mean safer?

Well, if that's true, why is he still so

popular in the polls then?

Because when you are brainwashed, you

are not rational.

Because you are still motivated by by

this urge to punish Gaza for the 7th of

October as if the 7th of October is the

only crime here.

Who's accountable in Israel?

All the Israelis.

All the Israelis, including yourself.

But sure, I'm part of it for them. All

the Israelis. When I go abroad and I go

quite often now, if there will be

demonstrations against my lecture or something, I will

totally understand it. If people wil not want to meet me, I'll totally

understand it. I'm part of Israel. Sure.

I never left. I never thought about leaving. I'm Israeli like any other one

and I carry all the responsibility like

any other Israeli. And we all carry a

very very deep and long responsibility

because it didn't start on the 7th of

October. Our crimes

If countries were serious about a Palestinian state, they would stop trading with Israel. Trading with Israel gives it legitimacy, a legitimacy it does not deserve. Shame on my country Canada .

Bodies of Palestinian prisoners sent by Israel unrecognisable: Gaza hospital director

Mohammed Zaqout, director of hospitals in Gaza’s Health Ministry, has spoken to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic about the “clear signs of torture” found on the bodies of Palestinians that were returned to the Gaza Strip this week.

“One body shows signs of hanging with a rope still wrapped around the neck, blindfolds around the eyes and bound hands. That martyr was placed as is and sent to us,” Zaqout said from Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Zaqout added that many of the bodies are unrecognisable, and only six killed Palestinian prisoners transferred from Israel have been identified so far.

After hearing comments on Gaza by Mr. Gabor Maté and Stephen Kapos, Holocaust survivors and Mr. Toshiyuki Mimaki, Hiroshima survivor, the only conclusion possible: Israel has managed to transform Gaza into a morphing of Auschwitz and Hiroshima combined. Both hells at the same time. 24/7 since October 7, 2023 with increasing savagery.

The death toll today is closer to 500 to 700 thousand. The Lancet report based on April 2024 numbers estimated (low according to the publication) the death toll at around 180 thousand.

September 2025: we are most likely nearing 1 million deaths.

That’s what our politicians finance with our money.

This is what all who support Israel are responsible for.

2 Israel and all supporters of the illegal occupation are obligated to pay reparations (US, UK, Germany...)

The legal situation is clear and should be handled as such. - Anything else is illegal.

I used to teach a course on moral issues in fiction. One novel concerned a child growing up in a small town in Nazi Germany and her mother struggling to support the family off the proceeds of a small grocery store while her husband was fighting in the army he’d been drafted into. Almost all (not all) of the Jewish students claimed the father could have resisted the draft (without repercussions for his family). Almost all (not all) claimed the mother the child should have known about what was going on in the death camps—and done something to stop the slaughter.

I wonder how those students, now grown, would respond to Levy’s comments.

According to Major Jeffrey Prather and other experts the IDF allowed Oct 7th to take place just so they could use that as there reason to annihilate Gaza and kill thousands with genocide so they can take the land and turn it eventually into a French Riviera POSCH area. The Zionists leaders don’t care about the Palestinians at all the average Israeli might be ok with most Palestinians other than Hamas

How often have I said that it did not start on the 7th of October. An easy and convenient excuse for doing more of the same but on a much larger scale.

Please go the way of no longer trading with this Pariah state as the world once did with South Africa. Nothing short of this will ever work.

Please prime minister Mark Carney .... My Canadian Prime Minister.

In regard to Palestine, It is critical that we meticulously document every event, atrocity, statement, tweet, action, violation, double standard, lie, news coverage/headline/report, any statements influencers/celebs (like Jared Kushner/Dr Phil/Van Jones/Ben Shapiro/Patrick Bet-David/Jordan Peterson/Donald Trump jr/Peter Thiel/Alex Karp/Stramer statements they’ve made/tweets) and war crime on a dedicated website in regards to Palestine, show everything happening in Gaza and the West Bank by the IDF. Something like a time capsule/archive/database site/online museum like a Youtube/TikTok/Wikileaks/Wiki/AP Archive all combined where we show as much proof as possible (in as many ways digestible to people. We need an alternative to social media and mainstream news (both which is heavily censored and will continue to be). Not everyone gets information the same way (still many rely on msm/news headlines/social media). We need a platform that can’t be censored and where we can show all the truth unfiltered. People need to see the atrocities. Tracking every IDF power tripping/committing war crimes clips, every Israeli/American politician statement/quote/tweet/action (ex. John Fetterman/Brian Mast/as many as we can find/Why Trump pardoned Aviem Sella and Pollard/every AIPAC politician).

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

ALL OF IT. From America/Middle East/UK/Austrlia/Anywhere in the world Zio's have an infleunce.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Before and after October. (I've been looking at 2014/2008/2022/pre-1948 Gaza and barely any resources that show lots of details/context/events/atrocities documented)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

We can't afford to underestimate how much people don't know, are unaware or understand about these issues and there’s so much context we might be missing to see, better to organize all of it– we need to preserve a comprehensive record of as much proof as possible. We can’t afford Iraq/Afghanistan war like ignorance anymore, we have to spread as much awareness as we can. Please save everything you find, encourage others to as well. Social media will be censored soon and I have no faith in mainstream media at this point. This needs to be a mindset/BDS like movement. They will double down on the censorship/genocide denial and we have to fight back and at least keep track of history at it's happening.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Don't underestimate how unaware people are especially Americans. At the end of the day America has the most power to change the situation. Not everyone's algo is the same, all main social media outlets are owned by the same group as is mainstream media. We will see a push of censorship/"anti-israel laws"/genocide denial/the same talking points repeated (hostages/kamas/radical islam). We need to keep spreading awareness and keep waking people up. Lets keep track of as much context/events/history as it's happening. We can't let any moment be forgotten.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Check my channel I've highlighted 3 platforms: WaterMelonCrimes, TikTokGenocide and Gaza23 (add a dotcom to any). We need more platforms like this, please encourage it! Imagine if students/activisits/organizations/academics/journalists/the people all collabed on sometihng like this for Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya? showing the past from Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya.. the journalists/news channels/companies that profited from those wars. We need to show patterns/past behaviour and wake as many people up, we can't afford Iraq/Afghanistan war like ignorance no more especially from Americans. Once they wake up in mass we might see true change!

7:38 - The EU will and is, like the US, prove over and over again that they do care about human rights only if it is going about their political interests. And in short, that the so-called West has taken the human rights for themselves, and that they are not for the rest of the World.

If only the new arrivals had done as they promised the people. That they would add to their lives, invest capital, establish businesses with the locals, manufacturing, and mechanise agriculture, and improve the quality of life for all. Together. That was the inducement. That was the pitch. That was the possibility. If only.
