Netanyahu isn’t the only problem, not even the main one, and his removal will definitely not achieve any resolution
Gideon Levy
Gideon Levy is a Haaretz columnist and a member of the newspaper's editorial board.
Levy joined Haaretz in 1982, and spent four years as the newspaper's deputy editor. He is the author of the weekly Twilight Zone feature, which covers the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza over the last 25 years, as well as the writer of political editorials for the newspaper.
Levy was the recipient of the Euro-Med Journalist Prize for 2008; the Leipzig Freedom Prize in 2001; the Israeli Journalists’ Union Prize in 1997; and The Association of Human Rights in Israel Award for 1996.
His new book, The Punishment of Gaza, has just been published by Verso Publishing House in London and New York.
Israel is heading to the next violent eruption with the Palestinians as though it is some sort of natural disaster that can’t be avoided
In today’s Israel, in which “leftist” is among the worst things to call someone, “non-Zionist” is entirely beyond the pale
On the most fateful issue, another term for Netanyahu would be a disaster, but a victory for Zionist Camp could be a worse disaster
The allegations against us: violating an emergency order and insulting a soldier. The law books contain no statutes about insulting a journalist
Killings of Palestinians by soldiers and policemen will never shock Israel. The propaganda machine will whitewash everything, and the media will be its mouthpiece
By letting Netanyahu expand the settlements and deliver a death blow to the two-state solution, the U.S. president has shown that he’s the one who lacks guts
Mass arrests, violent settlers, expulsion, and dispossession
Now it’s official: the settlements are a punishment. A collective one, of the sort considered a war crime under international law
The Palestinian response to the killing of Mohammed Deif’s wife and son will be exactly like the Israeli response in the reverse situation: Vengeance and retribution.
