Episode 28 - My life, covering Israeli war crimes for decades | Gideon Levy | UNAPOLOGETIC

In this episode of UNAPOLOGETIC, we speak with Gideon Levy, one of Israel’s most outspoken and controversial journalists. 

A longtime Haaretz journalist and columnist, Levy has spent decades documenting the occupation and challenging dominant Israeli narratives. 

We discuss Israel’s latest assault on Gaza, Netanyahu’s political calculations, and how Israeli society has responded. 

We also explore how the media and culture has eroded Israeli Israel’s, the future of Gaza and the West Bank, Palestinian leadership, and what a just resolution to the conflict might look like.

Finally, Levy reflects on his own political transformation and what it has cost him to tell the truth in his society.

UNAPOLOGETIC is hosted by Ashfaaq Carim
