Gideon Levy citáty

Gid'on Levy je židovský izraelský novinář, píšící pro deník Ha'arec.

Levy je velmi kritický k postoji izraelské vlády vůči okupovaným územím, ve svém týdenním sloupku „Twilight Zone“ v novinách Haaretz píše o bezpráví vůči Palestincům. Jeho oblíbená témata jsou citově zabarvené popisy násilí a nelidské zacházení s civilisty. Za tyto postoje je jednak tvrdě kritizovaný, včetně označení že je bezpečnostní riziko pro stát, na druhou stranu svými příznivci je označovaný jako „hrdinný novinář“. Gideon Levy byl poradcem Šimona Perese.

Jako novinář, byl vyslaný na misi do Sarajeva během balkánské války.

V roce 2010 obvinil izraelskou justici z institucionálního rasismu v případu znásilnění, z něhož byl usvědčen a k němuž se doznal izraelský Arab Sabbar Kashur. Tvrzení uvedená v článku byla nekriticky převzata světovými a českými médii, a to přesto, že článek zcela ignoroval lékařskou zprávu o stavu oběti znásilnění. Wikipedia

Gideon Levy: Citáty anglicky

“Political prisoners, detention without trial and unlimited imprisonment define tyranny.”

Gideon Levy

In a Democracy, Palestinian Lawmaker Khalida Jarrar Would Be Free (June 21, 2018)
Kontext: Jarrar could end up spending the rest of her life in prison; there is no legal impediment to this since all the pathetic arguments used to justify her continued detention could be deemed valid indefinitely. If she’s dangerous today, she’s dangerous forever. Political prisoners, detention without trial and unlimited imprisonment define tyranny.

“There can be no political prisoners in a democracy, nor detention without trial in a state of law.”

In a Democracy, Palestinian Lawmaker Khalida Jarrar Would Be Free (June 21, 2018)
Kontext: The continued detention of Palestinian parliament member in Israel. Her imprisonment is an inseparable part of the Israeli regime and it is the face of Israeli democracy, no less than its free elections (for some of its subjects) or the pride parades that wind through its streets. Jarrar is the Israeli regime no less than the Basic Law on Human Dignity and Liberty. Jarrar is Israeli democracy without makeup and adornments. The lack of interest in her fate is also characteristic of the regime. A legislator in prison through no fault of her own is a political prisoner in every way, and political prisoners defined by the regime. There can be no political prisoners in a democracy, nor detention without trial in a state of law. Thus Jarrar’s imprisonment is not only a black stain on the Israeli regime; it’s an inseparable part of it.

“What good have all of Arafat’s compromises done for the Palestinian people? What came out of the recognition of Israel, of the settling for a of equal rights and refused to discuss anything but that. Unfortunately, Habash was right. It's hard to know what would have happened had the Palestinians followed his path, but it's impossible not to admit that the alternative has been a resounding failure.”

“The resistance should no longer be directed solely against the occupation. The resistance is to the regime in place in Israel. Her imprisonment is the regime and she opposes the regime under whose boots she lives.”

In a Democracy, Palestinian Lawmaker Khalida Jarrar Would Be Free (June 21, 2018)

“All those who support her continued detention, anyone who is silent while she remains in jail, and all those who make her detention possible are saying: Forget democracy. That’s not what we are. Get used to it.”

This Biography Makes It Clear: The Founder of the Palestinian Popular Front Was Right (April 15, 2018)

“A war was on. … On July 14 he was expelled from his home with the rest of his family. He never returned to the city he loved. He never forgot the scenes of Lod in 1948, nor did he forget the idea of violent resistance. Can the Israeli reader understand how he felt?”

“Not much is left of his ideas. What has come of the scientific idealism and the politicization of the masses, the class struggle and the and its leader, Arafat. And the occupation? It's strong and thriving and its end looks further off than ever. If that isn’t failure, what is?”
