Gideon Levy: Israel’s Mirror

Gideon Levy reflects on the significant shifts in Israeli society's understanding of itself and its relationship with Palestinians over the decades. He discusses the loss of innocence in Israeli society, the prevailing mindset that justifies the occupation, and the dual narratives presented in different languages. Levy also addresses the role of soldiers in the occupation, the small acts of resistance by some Israelis, and the protests against Netanyahu that largely ignore the Palestinian plight. He emphasises the importance of journalism in portraying the realities of the occupation and his personal journey as a journalist committed to this cause.
