“The western world is in denial about the reality of Israel” | Daniel Levy

I post the above for balance. For nuance. As it’s a very much an anti-Israel pro-Palestinian stance. The “Middle East Eye” presents itself as a “neutral and balanced” source, but its clear leaning is pro-Palestine and anti-Israel.  While this blog, my very own blog, is crazy pro-Israel. Hence the “balance”, the “nuance”. I’m trying! I’m trying to be out of my bubble. (Spoiler: this video doesn’t do it…)

See if you are persuaded by the arguments of Daniel Levy. Who was an adviser to Israel PM Ehud Barak and to US President Barack Obama. So he’s of the Left. Does that mean there are things he can’t see, despite his telling those who don’t agree with him to “do some history”? Why, yes, it does. He sees no agency, no responsibility, none, niente, nada, on the Palestinian side, let alone of Hamas. It’s all the fault of Israel. Israel’s failure to be compassionate. Israel’s failure to grasp peace. Israel’s genocidal intentions. Israel’s “apartheid” (Amnesty says so!). All Israel. All Israel. All the Jews. No fault of Hamas or the PA.

But don’t let me poison your views! Go ahead and watch. And remember: this is amongst the best of the arguments on the anti-Israel, the pro-Hamas side. The best. The least deranged. Do they make sense? If you’ve  “done some history”?
