It's October, 2023 and this profound speech is more relevant than ever

I like you Gideon. I am a brother from West Bank Palestine and am happy to hear from people like you who live in Israel. I only knew soldiers and settlers. It was never a nice experience. You have opened my eyes and my heart. Thank you

Gideon Levy is a moral force in this conflict

I watched this many years ago... and watched it again .... now makes all sense. Thank you, Sir Gideon Levy. You are the true hero.

A brilliant speech by Gideon Levy, an Israeli journalist and patriot. So relevant in November 2023. I suggest that a true patriotism never denies the truth and is always ready to face up to a country or a government that commits wrongs, demanding they do right.

A humane man of values and integrity. Refreshing to hear, patucular knowing where he comes from.

This man is a legend! People like him keep my faith in peace alive even in dark moments of history like now

Until I started educating myself on what is actually happening in Palestine, I realised how misinformed the west is!! Now I have also come to understand that the settlers have completely obliterated the West Bank so no 2-state solution is possible anymore 😢. Israel this time really has lost all credibility. Peace and love to the people of 🇵🇸 May a new dawn of hope come soon ❤❤❤❤

03:47 "Now when the two-state solution is impossible - they know that it will never happen - even Netanyahu can say 'the two-state solution, why not?' Because they know this train has already left the station and will never be back."

[DrMathAydin]

what an honest man telling the plain truth like it is

[sonderman]

I salute your integrity, courage, and strong moral values Gideon.

When this speech is soo relevant in October 2023, you know who has been speaking the truth in this debate. Well done for speaking up, this is what you call human, not those racists who command genocides to take place for the purpose of stealing lands.

As a Muslim, I pray to Allah to bless this Learned Journalist

[moza]

[lydiamilanovic]

[MyGingercat]

God Bless you Gideon. This rings so true today in October 2023
