he says;
“My biggest struggle,” he says, “is to rehumanize the Palestinians. There’s a whole machinery of brainwashing in Israel which really accompanies each of us from early childhood, and I’m a product of this machinery as much as anyone else. [We are taught] a few narratives that it’s very hard to break. That we Israelis are the ultimate and only victims. That the Palestinians are born to kill, and their hatred is irrational. That the Palestinians are not human beings like us? So you get a society without any moral doubts, without any questions marks, with hardly public debate. To raise your voice against all this is very hard.”
I say;
I was told that Levy often describes himself as an Israeli patriot.  So what is his take on Operation Cast Lead? Was Israel supposed to stand by applaud everytime a Kassam rockets reached its target on the town of Sderot? Why in you last visit to Scotland, you were wined and dined by Scottish Solidarity, Scottish Friends of Palestine and others who spend most of their energy destroying Israel Image. Let me remind you, Levy that you offer nothing more than the ideological opinion offered by some lefty Israeli scholars, under the banner of free speech and pluralism, at these conferences with the same anti-Israel objectif. Can you and these idiots for once in your lives are able to go to any conferences or tours around Europe or the US with a neutral or positive view about Israel? In my view you belong to the same people you chaired a platforms in Edinburgh who joyfully Bash-Israel, and by doing so you are causing an untold damage, harm to Israel as a democratic state. You are helping the Anti- Israel boycott campaign which is forcing all Muslims, and Scottish shops and stores to ban all the sale of Israeli goods here in Glasgow.
Levy, I saw you when you came here In Edinburgh dressed casually and relaxed in the campany of these people who stand against Israel democracy, and existence. You often blame Hamas for launching the Kassams, and forget to mention that Fatah and Abbas who share the same idiology .
