On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, Editorial Board member of the Haaretz newspaper. He discusses his disagreements with the remnants of the Israeli peace camp, who think the departure of Netanyahu from power would lead to radical changes, the state of Israeli society and the criminalisation of empathy with the Palestinian people in Gaza, the views of the different classes in Israel with anti-Palestinian sentiment being most prevalent among the working class, the ‘ridiculous’ label of Israel being ‘the only democracy in the Middle East’ and his belief that Israel is ‘playing with fire’, whether Israelis care about the potential for an Israel-Saudi normalisation agreement, the brainwashing of Israeli society to ignore the plight of Palestinians and how he overcame it, the ‘one-state solution’ and much more.
