In a recent interview conducted by Owen Jones, Israeli journalist Gideon Levy discussed the current state of affairs in Israel and its impact on Palestinians. Levy, who is known for his courageous reporting, conveyed a stark message, stating, "I am looking everywhere for hope. Right now, I can’t find it." He emphasized the bleakness of the moment and the necessity to amplify his voice on mainstream news channels due to the empathy and moral clarity he brings to the subject. Levy also criticized the Israeli media for not showing the scenes from Gaza, leading to a widespread lack of understanding and empathy towards Palestinians in Israel, where he described the empathy for Gaza as 'almost criminal.' He provided insight into the psychological impact of prolonged exposure to violence, suggesting that the inhuman reactions of Israelis to attacks reflect the experiences of Palestinians who have lived under such conditions for decades.
"If one attack, as barbaric as it was... pushes so many Israelis to become inhuman... imagine yourself what it does to Palestinians who live under those attacks for decades. And we always wonder... 'How come they become those monsters?'... Here is the answer." - @gideonle https://t.co/W3mq1k3MSI
Gideon Levy says that most people in Israel have not been shown the scenes in Gaza so they "cannot understand what Israel is doing to Gaza", he adds it is 'almost criminal' to have empathy with Gaza in Israel. https://t.co/PAiZ4D1jU3 https://t.co/2vRWYn8SMx
