Gideon Levy on the Occupation

[santyclos]

You are a wise man Mr. Levy keep it up

[DanKelso]

Do a google search for Gideon Levy and you will see this guys articles are on

Neo Nazi sites, Holocaust denying sites, Islamo Fascist sites.

Assad has killed 2700 Syrians so far and not a word by Levy.

This guy hasn't met an Islamic terrorist he hasn't liked. 

[Zatzzo]

end the occupation, and you will have peace. it's as simple as that.

[rachelgolem]

Laughing when Libyans kill each other is NOT Anti-Semitism.

[Yitzhakhazak]

You guys want a piece of Israel. Good! Stop your childish babbling and a squabbling

come and get it. As to Gideon...baaaaaah!

[elmachucho]

This it a much respect man in europa honest than more an ather Jews, for os the jews people it a terrorist like alquaida We dont love zionist.

[Oldone11]

I have never read such lies and false innuendos.

There is a Jewish family living down the road from me and they work 48 to 60 hours every week and they are hard workers.

Before the Palestinians, wasn't that Israeli land? Didn't they get back what they once had?

I think both sides should sit down and have to stay there until they work something out, too many times the leaders rattle the war sabers and then go somewhere safe

[bookguitarguy]

@Oldone11 Your questions show a real lack of understanding. You ask, "Didn't THEY get back" their land, but who is "they"? Israelis today bear little resemblance to ancient Hebrews. Some are Semitic (though European Jews are not!), & the culture is quite different-some "Jews" are even Atheists! More importantly, American/Eastern European/other Jews who displaced Palestinians WERE BORN ELSEWHERE (unlike Palestinians), & Canaanites preceded Jews 3000 yrs ago! Care to return US to Native Americans?

[upsilone19]

Israel has the right to keep a jewish majority. Arabs already own 20& of eath's Land. Muslims own 33% of it. Jews only own Israel, and don't want to loose it ever again. What is the problem with that? It's not being racist, it's being conservative.

Jews are not a race. They accept Africans, Asians, Americans, Indians... Jews are simply a people. They are a people that want to conserve the little they have left. Expansion is Israel's way of deepening it's roots and conserving it's country.

[upsilone19]

The USS Liberty was an order by the US, not Israel. Israel attacked it after the US asked it to.

Sharon never said such quote that undermines the US and the world. If he did, post a link to prove it.

[Deadfield2]

i wouldn't take anything justonemorename says seriously. with curious idiots like him (or her?) you don't know what they'll pick up and decide to believe in. but i think he knows just how risible his words are.

[upsilone19]

proove it kiddo

[upsilone19]

you don't have facts. You are inventing pure anti-semite thoughts and brainwash yourself to hate Israel. Israel has no reason to attack the US. Israel has no reason to attack Spain and it never attacked the UK. On the contrary, it helps them fight terror and trains their soldiers.

[upsilone19]

CIA hospital? oh I see, because the CIA has it's own hospital now does it? In Dubai? and in Pakistan? hahaha!

I have the impression I'm talking to a 12 year old kid who seems to believe everything he sees on cartoons each day.

and if Al Quaida didn't exist, who is it that the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Pakistan, India, Israel, the US and all those other countries tracking?

There has been a mountain full of proof of their existence, so don't start entering denial.

[upsilone19]

are you aware that there has been a warrant for Bin Laden ever since he was accused of the 9/11 attacks? are you aware it totals 50$ million?

no? go back to sleep

[Fukkutah]

Well if people like Mr. Levy were in charge in Israel, I think that, currently war criminal status, would'nt have arrived. Israel would perhaps be trusted and even maybe peace would be within reach. Unfortunately, Mr. Levy and his like-minded people in Israel are a micro minority and are able to move nothing toward the direction they would like. The Aigor Lieberman types and ilk are going to drag Israel and the rest of the ME with it to catastrophe.

[upsilone19]

Occupation can't be ended.

Ending occupation is like asking Afghanistan to dismantle Al-Quaida.

settlers are religious fanatics, that can not be reached by the Israeli government and that continue expanding without control.

They have also mingled with the economy as well. almost 50% of Israel's production is at least partly made there. Therefore, there is no way of boycotting the territories without boycotting the whole state.

All we can do is try to teach them about the palestinian problem

[vukixe]

honestly most majority of peoples who i know don't like israel from canada switzerland china chili... there is only jewish to love themself you use the alaucaust as a gun to do more crime than the nazism do what do you really want? the world begin to hate you iam from china and and many think like me even they know nothing they said jewish are dangerous we thaught that hitler was a monster but perhap's hee was right when you look at what the jewish do in the world...open your eyes

[tuberic76]

So I assume you are also strongly opposed to the occupation of Tibet which is a territory that is like 50 times larger than the whole of Israel?

[omritheprice]

you are a fucking idiot mate...

Jews only want a country to live in where they can be human beings... maybe China can give us a little territory? O - they murdered a million people in Tibet.Comapred to the 8,000 palestinians who died in the lad 50 years that is not much... i guess.Asshole

[vukixe]

israel created since60 years.

it's short in the history of humanity.israel kill the reel population of this country and deport them exactly like hitler do witth them.israel can't built futur with crime againt humanity but they create many young hitler

hitler wasn't arabic so why they revanche against arabic?

i can say that there is not lot of people who like israel.when they look at there action they think (not as before)"poor jewish"but i begin to understand why hitler want to kill them

[maradona23]

we need more people like him....

[100057361]

I'm not sure I'm speaking with an adult. "The territories were FREED by israel, not occupied". That, quite apart from being the statement of a moron, has nothing to do with what I was talking about. On the issue of civilians being militants, read nazi literature and you will discover, not only that you're a nazi moron, but also that that's nazi doctrine. Nobody outside the propaganda apparatuses of Israel and the US concurr on Israel's definition of a terrorist, i.e. "whoever we want to kill"

[rapartist43]

Yeah, that is exactly what the terrorists think when they shoot rockets and kill children, mothers, men, whatever... You sreiously dare to call me moron? Face the facts, Mr nazi-lover. "Whoever we want to kill". Very funny. Are you a muslim? Or are you a communist? Maybe... you are the nazi?

[rapartist43]

However, that was no answer to the questions I raised. You decided to insult me instead. This truly does not serve your purpose,^^

[100057361]

Your questions are meaningless for the reasons I mentioned. To consider a whole population as terrorist is not only the standard pretext for mass murder - a very weak pretext, in fact, but it convinces people like you, with no interest in the facts outside propaganda (if you read independent sources and I'm wrong, let me know)-, but also a highly implausible claim. You can find when reading about nearly every genocide in history that the murderers say the victims are terrorists (or synonyms)

[100057361]

Violence in South Africa, in the Balkans and now in South-East Turkey are very clear examples. Now, youre an absolute hypocrite. 1)You blame Hamas for exactly the same generalizations of which youre guilty: you talk about it as if it was Arabs vs. Jews, a football match, making no distinction between the people and their leaders, etc.: the nazi way of thinking. 2)You say I call you names instead of addressing the issues...

[100057361]

But youve already called me Mr. Nazi-lover, wannabe-Jew, anti-Semitic Roman Catholicand you've systematically departed from facts. Are you aware of a single true fact, other than that of your fanaticism, of which I'm sure you're certain?

[justicenow09]

zionist collaberated with the nazis ....im about to read several books on the topic written by jews ....explain ....

[petersz98]

@100057361

Israel is the Fourth Reich!

[wdgann111]

Gideon levy is the biggest traitor known to mankind. He should go live in Gaza

[l2cb]

He represents the Jewish Tradition of Morality. You represent zionist degredation to nazism.

[rapartist43]

Too true! Just like Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky.

[sleeperisawakened]

The israelis are unlikely to ever return the land (or the occupied territories)to the palestinians for even though the main drive behind the founding of Israel was political zionism (meaning not religious) the majority of israelis (and possibly the majority of jews) think that God gave them that land. They don't care that there were only approx 2000 jews in the region in 1690 (DellaPergola,2001,p.5.) because God gave it to them!

[wdgann111]

find reference to 'palestinians' prior to 1967 d'head. You will see there is no such thing as a Palestinian.  Arafat was an Egyptian

[l2cb]

You are wrong. But I will agree with you for the sake of the argument. what difference does it make if the land the zionists stole belonged to syrians, egyptians, palestinians or arabs. the point is, the land must be returned.

[wdgann111]

No you are wrong, international law clearly states that if a country conquers land out of self defence, they can keep it

egypt, jordan etc dont even want it back

[100057361]

Yeah, international law CLEARLY states that... IT WISPERS IT TO YOUR EAR. To start with, there exists no such figure as conquer of land by self defence. That's a ridiculous idea. And you sure know about the famous preambular paragraph of SC Resolution 242, "emphasizing""the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war". 'Lebensraum' doctrine is not International law. This is all an insult to Judaism. I hope eventually our fellow Israelis will kick their murderous leaders out of Israel.

[rapartist43]

Conquering land through self-defense is ridiculous? What kind of bullshit argument is that? Didn't the Americans conquer Europe out of self-defense? And what did they do? they returned the land. When? When there was PEACE. Did the arabs want peace after the Oslo Agreement? Do they actually want land?

[100057361]

rapartist43, your example is an excellent example for MY POINT. How can you "conquer land" from an outside occupying force? You can only conquer it from the civilians who inhabit it by law. And at what point has anybody said Europe had become US territory? The US didn't conquer Europe from the Europeans. That's laughable. Guess who was conquering land, according to them, out of self defense? Yeah, the Nazis.

[rapartist43]

You don't understand. The territories were FREED by israel, not occupied. And yes, the US DID conquer Europe from Europeans - and that is how Europe was FREED from the Nazis. Interesting to see you turn the whole story around. Now that is laughable!

[100057361]

You haven't understood my comment because you're a wild brute: self defense is a category of international law, but it doesn't back acquisition of territory by force, period. Your kind of opinions, when combined (which they always are) with such a lack of interest in investigating the truth of the matter, are an ignominy for humankind. AT LEAST LOOK 'CONQUER' UP IN A DECENT DICTIONARY, INSTEAD OF IN THE ISRAELI NEWSPEAK DICTIONARY! Every word you say is a completely outrageous lie

[rapartist43]

According to international law, Israel freed Gaza and the so-called Westbank from foreign occupiers, namely Egypt and Jordan, in 1967. It is the arabswho, in fact, occupy a lot of Jewish territory until this very day. Keeping in mind that the arabs expelled their Jews in 1948, I am speaking of 800.000, makes me wonder if we shouldn't have kicked them out. It would only be fair.^^

[100057361]

I wish what you people have to say in the name of your country was heard by the European public: the EU would be forced to turn its back to Israel. But it's carefully hidden by your demagogic diplomats-propagandists. All the european Jews I know, including myself, are deeply embarrassed by the criminal ideology and actions of Israel. It originated with great potential, and look at what it has become.

[rapartist43]

You are not Jewish. You are a spanish catholic who happens to be , surpirse, surprise: antisemitic. All Jews that I know - and I am European also^^ - SUPPORT Israel. If you were to be Jewish, I would be ashamed of being Jewish myself.

[mmayermcknight]

@wdgann111 Are you dyslexic or something. International law states the exact opposite and considers the occupation illegal. What planet are you from?

[rapartist43]

to the Jews, I agree. Time to reconquer good ol' Damesk! And what about Gaza anyway? Or Samaria and JUDEA, for G-d's sake? The whole of Galilee...

[redhawk19691]

Its a shame his opinion is only shared by a minority in Israel (over 80% of Israelis agree with the holocaust in Gaza).

[Chips95]

Levy is a self hater who wish he werent jewish

[redhawk19691]

So what you're saying is that anyone who wants peace with the Arabs is not Jewish?

[delpiero47]

one of the first traitors who will be put against the wall.

[CaptainRedHat]

shamefull

[GushShalomRising]

Tov!

[ThoughtProcess1]

wow I just discovered this guy when I heard Norman Finklestein mention him in another video. I will definitely be reading and listening to more of him in the future.

[trance2307]

Greatest man alive

[Zeldamaya]

Gideon Levy is a real prince and such a great human being ! I wish more people would be like him .

I admire him a lot !

Thank you so much mister for your positions and great articles.

[omadeon]

"as if they were lighting a cigarette"

-and I would add "as if playing a computer game"!

[Midex]

He's talking about the occupation of Palestine right? Notice how they invented the "occupation" to overshadow the WHOLE occupation! Lets have a look what former Attorney General of US thinks about Israel's terrorism on Palestinians: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=i6tBgmRCumM
