Gideon Levy’s speech focuses on the nature of democracy and human rights in Israel. Gideon Levy is a columnist for the Israeli daily Haaretz, which he joined in 1982. He is widely considered the dean of Israeli journalism, as well as the most hated man in Israel, because treating the Palestinians as victims and the crimes perpetrated against them as crimes is considered treasonous. I have watched film clips of Levy’s visits to family funeral tents of Palestinians killed by Israeli sharpshooters. His empathy and humanity is palpable. Levy’s columns are widely read and discussed around the world.
