Gideon Levy in Haaretz on his scathing assessment of Israel’s deluded soul over its Gaza war:
Today it is more shameful to be an Israeli because the world, as opposed to Israelis, saw the scenes. It saw thousands of dead and injured taken in the trunks of cars to something between a clinic and a primitive hospital in an imprisoned and weakened region one hour from flourishing Tel Aviv, a region where the helpless had nowhere to run from Israel’s arsenal. The world saw schools, hospitals, flour mills and small factories mercilessly bombed and blown up. It saw clouds of white-sulphur bombs billowing over population centers, and it saw burned children.
The world refused to accept the excuses and lies of Israel’s propaganda. It was not prepared to compare Sderot’s suffering to Gaza’s suffering; it did not agree that the sulphur mushroom clouds were for self-defense, that the killing of dozens of police on a parade ground was legitimate, that telephoned warnings for people to leave their homes cleared Israel of criminal responsibility for the bombing of those homes.
The world saw the Israeli Goliath strike mercilessly at the Palestinian David.
Gideon Levy and his f*cking crocodile tears. A year ago he was supporting the war. He supports every one of Israel’s wars until it is over. Then he cries crocodile tears. Don’t post this mamzers hypocritical articles.
Hi JohD,
Are you able to post some links here to those articles he wrote in favour of the bombardment of Gaza?
regards
As a full-time monitor of the Hebrew media I can tell you that JohD will not be able to find such a link. My guess is that he is confusing Gideon Levy with Amos Oz.

Is this the crap people support? Of course Australia, the Brits and the US did this to the Iraqis for 12 years before blasting them into nothingness.
Gideon Levy has never supported a war in his life.
Yes, I am sorry, I did seem to confuse Levy with Amos Oz.
