Not true. As he said...the one state solution is ALREADY the current paradigm. Until all Palestinians have either been ethnically cleansed or killed. The only question is can the current one state solution be a democracy for all it's citizens.
Yes, it is still October 2023, & some things remain timeless. This speech was one of them. I'm sure, in intermittent moments when there was no applause 👏 one might have heard a pin 📍 drop. Astonishing!
Notice how Likudnik Israel's most zealous defenders never actually rebut criticisms of its far-right government (see below). They merely resort to name calling in a desperate effort to smear anyone who dares to criticise policies/actions of the right-wing government of Israel. But then, everyone should feel sympathy for anyone assigned the hopeless task of defending the policies of a borderline fascist government (unless, perhaps, they are extremely well paid, or are clearly psychopathic).
The Arab national cause formed during the first half of the 20th century. Fascism was the Fresh New Thing back then. Anti-Semitism was baked in, from the beginning. Made a lot of friends for the Arabs, down to today. They aren't giving it up. A Jew can never be an equal citizen of in an Arab country. Funny how the supporters of "Palestine" have no problem with Jewish expulsion, Jewish exclusion.
Thr anti fas so called who I believe are paid trouble makers go around with masks and rightly so to hide ,they hate to hear the truth and beat up on any one who dares to tell it. Our problems stem from the fact that a very few control way too much wealth etc
You can really feel the righteous anger behind his voice. He was absolutely fuming 7 years ago. I can't imagine how he feels now that Bibi's policies have resulted in exactly what he feared.

@Eli Raffoul… I disagree. Levy, the eloquent Anti-Israel self hating Jew, ignores human rights abuse unless it can be linked to Israel. If an Arab Muslim in Gaza spoke so eloquently about the human rights abuses by Hamas at this Oxford Union forum…he’d afterwards, have his tongue cut out for speaking against Hamas. This would be followed by his legs being amputated without anesthesia for traveling/walking to Oxford. By Levy admitting that he’s more interested in human rights abuses when Israel commits them than when Hamas does, Levy is implying that he doesn’t really see human rights as universal. My guess is that you implicitly agree that human rights only apply to Hamas. Levy - who, I used to admire for his moral compass - is obsessed with delegitimizing Jewish human rights. 🙏😪
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. The next morning Hamas & Islamic Jihad (both armed & financed by genocidal Iran) began launching more than 100,000 rockets to kill, injure, terrorize, traumatise & shell-shock Israeli men, women, children, toddlers & pets. 30 seconds to seek refuge & duck for life. …Remember, Morality is color blind
EU, UN, US & Arab countries donated 70 billion dollars to the Palestinians thus far. Where is the money? New infrastructure? New hospitals? Job opportunities? New schools? Massage parlols? Ice cream boutiques? Universities? New housing projects? … Endemic & pandemic corruption on demonic & surreal steroids!
Microscopic Israel - The size of New Jersey The Palestinians elected the terror group Hamas to govern & represent them in Gaza At several locations the distance between THE Mediterranean Sea & the West Bank is approx 20 kilometers Hamas’ radically religiously indoctrinated ’Soldiers of Allah’ can target passenger jets landing & taking of from Israeli only International Ben Gurion airport at will. Nice… 3 Israeli prime ministers offered the Palestinian Authority %97 of the West Bank & East Jerusalem as capitol. They flatly refused. Even to negotiate.
Jewish people lived peacefully in Palestine for more than a thousand years and they would have lived so if Israel would have had leaders like GL. It is the Zionists who brought about this debacle. Apartheid has to end and a sensible dialogue has to commence. That is the only way for peace.
Gideon Levy is sadly one of the few sane voices in Israel. He unlike the others know the conditions the israeli state impose to the Occupied Palestinians.

I'm watching this in January 2024 - while Israel is committing a genocide, 30,000 people have been murdered by Israel, 15,000 children. Israel has killed their own captives as well. Israeli's are protesting outside Netanyhu's house, blocking highways to call for a ceasefire. This video came upon on my page at the perfect time. I've been watching and learning from Gideon Levy for the past 3 months - he is an inspiration and a hope for Israel. Thank you Gideon❤️🔥
I LOVE GIDEON LEVY! So profound and articulate. Thank you for fighting for the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian people. It is heartbreaking to see the injustices that is committed by Israel to the Palestinians in their own homeland. " When I steal your car, I am not in the position to put condition for returning the car. First of all return the car!" Well said Mr. Levy! Yeah Israel give back Palestinians their own land without condition! .
its not their own land! That's the real issue here. There is not such a country called Palestine and no people who are palestinians. there are arab muslim people from all over the middle east and claim this as thier home. the Jewish people have been there for 3000 years, well before Islam ever existed.
@@ThePreityEffect … Thanks. Finally, some truth speaks out. 95% of the other comments agree with this Far Left lunatic, who supports the BDS movement, whose goal is the destruction of Israel. With few exceptions, everyone commenting here, are Jew haters - as is Gideon Levy, a self hating Jew - who want the destruction and genocide of Israel and it’s Jews.

The conduct of three British military units in Afghanistan came under serious question tonight after the Ministry of Defence released unprecedented details of incidents in which troops attacked Afghan civilians. The disclosure, in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act made by the Guardian, revealed that of the casualties caused by British forces, two-thirds involved troops from the three units, triggering calls for an inquiry into their behaviour. Releasing information about 21 incidents, the MoD revealed that the Coldstream Guards shot four civilians in Kabul over a period of three weeks; the Royal Marine commandos killed or wounded civilians eight times in six months; and the third unit, the Rifles, were involved in three incidents last year. Among the casualties were children, and on one occasion a man with mental health problems. Details of the attacks not released at the time, but among thousands of incidents mentioned by WikiLeaks.

Mr. Levy...your voice and voices like yours are needed to stop the insanity and safe people on both sides for generations to come....!!!! I admire your courage and sense of humanity...One country one vote all citizens are equal under the law....!❤
I disagree that this can be called "Apartheid ". This is much, much worse. I worked in hospitals for People of Colour, during Apartheid South Africa. The poorest of the poor had access to hospitals, water and clinics. It was a terrible system. Yet nothing can be compared to whats happening in occupied Palestine.
Haridas991… What you’re stating is absolutely absurd, rubbish and a lie. Israeli Arabs citizens living in Judea and Sumeria aka “the West Bank” - homeland of the indigenous Jewish people for past 3,000 years - get the same health care benefits as the Israeli Jewish citizens. To the Reader: Gideon Levy is on the Far Left, politically. He is Anti-Israel and is a self loathing Israeli Jew, who supports Palestinian radicalism. He’s been told many times, that if he’s so unhappy living among his fellow Israeli Jews, he ought to leave Israel and live elsewhere. I’m sure Hamas would welcome him in Gaza. He’s also a huge hypocrite, as he lives in the Ramat Aviv neighbourhood of Tel Aviv, a site that before 1948, was part of the Palestinian village of Sheikh Unis. If his grandparents - who were murdered by the Nazis - knew what a Jew hater he is, they’d wish they were never born, rather than give rise to a Judas Iscariot of his own people. Levy is a divorced father of two. He says, his sons do not share his politics, and do not read anything he writes. I’m not surprised. His moral virtues within his own family, has been described as deplorable by friends of his, and say that he projects his own loathing and self hate onto Israel and Israeli Jews. In closing, it’s rather sad, that, Levy - who, in the past I greatly admired - who used to be a moral compass has become a broken compass. 🙏😪

If you'd been on the receiving end of the occupation you'd have to be either retarded or mother Teresa to not hate your oppressors.
@@DavidDemurs
Well david i don't know if you are ignorant or pretending to be but anyone who've read the life of propher muhammed knows that he never started attacking the jews unless they attacked him first and broke all agreements with Muslims, i'm really wondering is it in their blood or something? They always do it
No only for Israeli genocidal terrorists. Honorable jews with human values have always lived among muslims in peace@@DavidDemurs
Thanks for your courage and honesty
This speech should be made viral!
He is absolutely right 👍🏼
Thank you for this impressive speech 👏🏼
This man speaks from his pure heart , you are Amazing human being ❤
Mr Levy, this is my first time viewing your video. It's been an honour listening to your speech. May God bless you.
Gideon Levy is on the right side of history
There is no right/wrong side. To the victors the spoils and they are the ones to write history. If Israel had lost the war there wouldn't have been any debate cause they would have followed suit of the majority of arab nations and exile them
@@manniefresh3425 Israel is clearly wrong in Palestine and if you say they aren't doing anything wrong? Then, you're on the wrong side as well.
God bless you... you are the chosen one to speak the truth, to defend the equal right of humanity for all human
I pray we need more people in the world like you
Brilliant! This is an amazing expression of what needs to happen.
for the fist time in my life as an Arab i care about Israel and sane peaceful Israelis like him
God bless you for having respect courage to say what is totally correct God bless you a million times
Shut up ijit
So sad that this one state solution is no longer doable given what is happening now. We live in a world full of inequality, cruelty and downright hubris of political leaders.
Not true. As he said...the one state solution is ALREADY the current paradigm. Until all Palestinians have either been ethnically cleansed or killed. The only question is can the current one state solution be a democracy for all it's citizens.
What gives me hope is honest courageous Jewish voice like him, who are truly honest and scream for Justice. God bless Levy!
My God ,i have no words,just gratitude for this gentleman 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for speaking the truth and truth only and nothing else
Yes, it is still October 2023, & some things remain timeless. This speech was one of them. I'm sure, in intermittent moments when there was no applause 👏 one might have heard a pin 📍 drop. Astonishing!
Notice how Likudnik Israel's most zealous defenders never actually rebut criticisms of its far-right government (see below). They merely resort to name calling in a desperate effort to smear anyone who dares to criticise policies/actions of the right-wing government of Israel. But then, everyone should feel sympathy for anyone assigned the hopeless task of defending the policies of a borderline fascist government (unless, perhaps, they are extremely well paid, or are clearly psychopathic).
Name calling is all they've got.
The Arab national cause formed during the first half of the 20th century. Fascism was the Fresh New Thing back then. Anti-Semitism was baked in, from the beginning. Made a lot of friends for the Arabs, down to today. They aren't giving it up. A Jew can never be an equal citizen of in an Arab country. Funny how the supporters of "Palestine" have no problem with Jewish expulsion, Jewish exclusion.
Yes, Israel is so fascist that it gives Palestinians more rights than any other Muslim state in the world.
silence is the way lmao. Go back to sleep
Thr anti fas so called who I believe are paid trouble makers go around with masks and rightly so to hide ,they hate to hear the truth and beat up on any one who dares to tell it.
Our problems stem from the fact that a very few control way too much wealth etc
pure moral clarity
You can really feel the righteous anger behind his voice. He was absolutely fuming 7 years ago. I can't imagine how he feels now that Bibi's policies have resulted in exactly what he feared.
His thoughts are exactly what everyone is thinking, but don't have the fortitude to say. (Especially in the political realm)
Thanks for speaking out the truth
What a hero, just says it like it is, straight from the heart. A humanitarian who realized that his own people are in the wrong. His love to see that this problem needs to be resolved with respect for each other's existence first.🎉💖. Amen
@Eli Raffoul…
I disagree.
Levy, the eloquent Anti-Israel self hating Jew, ignores human rights abuse unless it can be linked to Israel.
If an Arab Muslim in Gaza spoke so eloquently about the human rights abuses by Hamas at this Oxford Union forum…he’d afterwards, have his tongue cut out for speaking against Hamas. This would be followed by his legs being amputated without anesthesia for traveling/walking to Oxford.
By Levy admitting that he’s more interested in human rights abuses when Israel commits them than when Hamas does, Levy is implying that he doesn’t really see human rights as universal.
My guess is that you implicitly agree that human rights only apply to Hamas.
Levy - who, I used to admire for his moral compass - is obsessed with delegitimizing Jewish human rights. 🙏😪
HAMAS Covenant (Aug 18, ’88).
ISRAE DESTRUCTION through Jihad "Israel will exist “UNTIL JIHAD OBLITERATES IT” Article 13: “ No solution for Palestinian question except Jihad." [P. 7] Article 11: “Palestine - an Islamic land for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day.
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
The next morning Hamas & Islamic Jihad (both armed & financed by genocidal Iran) began launching more than 100,000 rockets to kill, injure, terrorize, traumatise & shell-shock Israeli men, women, children, toddlers & pets. 30 seconds to seek refuge & duck for life.
…Remember, Morality is color blind
EU, UN, US & Arab countries donated 70 billion dollars to the Palestinians thus far.
Where is the money? New infrastructure? New hospitals? Job opportunities? New schools? Massage parlols? Ice cream boutiques? Universities? New housing projects? …
Endemic & pandemic corruption on demonic & surreal steroids!
Microscopic Israel - The size of New Jersey
The Palestinians elected the terror group Hamas to govern & represent them in Gaza
At several locations the distance between THE Mediterranean Sea & the West Bank is approx 20 kilometers
Hamas’ radically religiously indoctrinated ’Soldiers of Allah’ can target passenger jets landing & taking of from Israeli only International Ben Gurion airport at will. Nice…
3 Israeli prime ministers offered the Palestinian Authority %97 of the West Bank & East Jerusalem as capitol. They flatly refused. Even to negotiate.
Brave man, principled and lucid. Free Palestine.
What this wise man says is the solution. Absolutely. I wish him success!!!
If Israel had a leader like this, they would of had peace a long time ago.
No . Israel would disappear. Massive killing will take place. Much more people will die.
Kyle Can we will be dead
Jewish people lived peacefully in Palestine for more than a thousand years and they would have lived so if Israel would have had leaders like GL. It is the Zionists who brought about this debacle. Apartheid has to end and a sensible dialogue has to commence. That is the only way for peace.
So you support Apartheid then. . .
Kyle Can correct
Respect! One person that wants peace for all humans ❤
Mr. Levy speaks the truth!
Mr. Gideon Levy , I’m agree with you, FREE PALESTINE
Very honourable, noble, honest, just, knowledge and brave human being. Well said.
Thanks
Amazing, brilliant speech, by indeed, a true patriot.
excellent sir! Thank you. I am clear now, crystal clear.
I don't know how you can hear this speech and not see the power of the truth be represents. I almost cried listening to this
Bravo, real man. Much respect for the truth.
Every single world leader needs to watch this!
Gideon Levy is sadly one of the few sane voices in Israel. He unlike the others know the conditions the israeli state impose to the Occupied Palestinians.
He is considered to be crazy and extremist even by leftists in Israel.
Almost all intellectuals in Israel hate him.
ulver he's a left wing shil
Doesn't say much for, "all intellectuals in Israel", does it.
Well isn't is true what the Rabbis say, the greatest enemy comes from within.
I had the idea that Christians believed in fairness and kindness to others; so why do you support a regime which oppresses another people?
May God bless you Mr. Gideon Levy❤
Most Israelis speak of Arabs like nazis spoke of Jews.
Wow Gideon Levy is an honest man respect to him from Kashmir
The good Israeli people need to vote for someone good hearted and fair like him.
I have full respect for this man. I pray to Allah to protect him ...The lobby Zion are the treat .
So much respect for this man.
Gideon said it 8 years ago, and it's an absolute truth now in 2024
Mr. Levy You full my eyes with tears. Mr levy you a HERO. Go for politics to change the world, WE need you. GOD protect you and your families.
Wonderful speech if only they will listen and react the truth is those of us who feel the same as the speaker are the only ones listening and we already agree any way
This speaker is so full of shit even the whites of his eyes are also BROWN....!!!!
These are the kind of traitors Israel allows to go around spreading crap against it, to a rotten biased world who eats it up by the shipload, specially coming from no less than the most "distinguished" Israeli journalist...!!!!!!

Thank you for saying the truth.
Gideon Levy: Righteous Man !
What a courageous man. May Allah swt guide him to the right path since his heart speaks truth and recognizes truth such people are the knower of true faith.
I know you mean well when you ask for him to be guided to your path, but to me he seems like he's already been guided given what he's stood for over his life. It's such a backhanded compliment to first say he's great but then say he's deficient in religion. Can't you give him the praise he's due without the "you'd be better if you were Muslim" bit?
Thank you Mr. Levy I have not ever heard about you.
I wish as a born Muslim to meet this Brave man Sir Gideon Levy to raise my hat,,,,instead of going to,, Meka,,,,, may my statement hurt some but in my heart pure blood is running in. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am Muslim and raise my hat to him and I would also go to Makkah for prayers these things don't restrict one another. Don't understand why they would be mutually exclusive. And I've said my piece and don't want a UA-cam debate. Good day sir.
@kamelkoroghli What a dumb statement you made! What does going to Mecca have to do with this guy? Go and fix your brain somewhere.
That was incredible!!
Gideon Levy speaks truth. Salute
Truth is always impressively honest.
I'm watching this in January 2024 - while Israel is committing a genocide, 30,000 people have been murdered by Israel, 15,000 children. Israel has killed their own captives as well. Israeli's are protesting outside Netanyhu's house, blocking highways to call for a ceasefire.
This video came upon on my page at the perfect time. I've been watching and learning from Gideon Levy for the past 3 months - he is an inspiration and a hope for Israel. Thank you Gideon❤️🔥
Legendary speach
Thank you for speaking up the truth sir
I LOVE GIDEON LEVY! So profound and articulate. Thank you for fighting for the liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian people. It is heartbreaking to see the injustices that is committed by Israel to the Palestinians in their own homeland. " When I steal your car, I am not in the position to put condition for returning the car. First of all return the car!" Well said Mr. Levy! Yeah Israel give back Palestinians their own land without condition! .
Azieb Tefferi
To be honest, a negotiation must take place with the thief. Haaah
its not their own land! That's the real issue here. There is not such a country called Palestine and no people who are palestinians. there are arab muslim people from all over the middle east and claim this as thier home. the Jewish people have been there for 3000 years, well before Islam ever existed.
@@ThePreityEffect israel is 73 years old, no israelis before then.
@@ThePreityEffect …
Thanks.
Finally, some truth speaks out.
95% of the other comments agree with this Far Left lunatic, who supports the BDS movement, whose goal is the destruction of Israel.
With few exceptions, everyone commenting here, are Jew haters - as is Gideon Levy, a self hating Jew - who want the destruction and genocide of Israel and it’s Jews.
Take to heart these words of profound wisdom.

The conduct of three British military units in Afghanistan came under serious question tonight after the Ministry of Defence released unprecedented details of incidents in which troops attacked Afghan civilians.
The disclosure, in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act made by the Guardian, revealed that of the casualties caused by British forces, two-thirds involved troops from the three units, triggering calls for an inquiry into their behaviour.
Releasing information about 21 incidents, the MoD revealed that the Coldstream Guards shot four civilians in Kabul over a period of three weeks; the Royal Marine commandos killed or wounded civilians eight times in six months; and the third unit, the Rifles, were involved in three incidents last year.
Among the casualties were children, and on one occasion a man with mental health problems.
Details of the attacks not released at the time, but among thousands of incidents mentioned by WikiLeaks.
GUARDIAN (Apr 01, '130
British troops recount human rights abuses at US detention facility in Iraq
British soldiers and airmen tell of prisoners brought in by SAS and SBS snatch squads being hooded and given electric shocks
UK soldiers and air personnel who helped to operate a secretive US detention facility in Baghdad that was at the centre of some of the most serious human-rights abuses to occur in Iraq after the invasion have, for the first time, spoken about abuses they witnessed there
Members of two RAF squadrons and one Army Air Corps squadron were given guard and transport duties at the secret prison, the Guardian has established.
• Iraqi prisoners being held for prolonged periods in cells the size of large dog kennels.
• Prisoners being subjected to electric shocks.
• Prisoners being routinely hooded.
• Inmates being taken into a sound-proofed shipping container for interrogation, and emerging in a state of physical distress.
-Racist attacks against Muslim & minorities in UK- on the rise.
-Politicians & media fuel hostility & prejudice against minorities (European report finds)
-"Muslims, migrants, asylum-seekers & Gypsies-regularly presented in a negative light in the media," (European Commission Against Racism & Intolerance).
-"Political debate in UK includes racist & xenophobic discourse."
-The report says racist attacks against ethnic minorities tripled from 31,000 in '03 to 38,000.
BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
More than 13,000 race or discrimination cases - successfully prosecuted in the UK ('07-'08) against 8,800 for previous years.
"More efforts needed to prevent violence from occurring" says the report.
Asylum-seekers vulnerable to hasty decisions rejecting their claims, unnecessary detention & intense public hostility.
"Proposals to consolidate immigration legislation foreshadow restrictive policies & hostility towards migrant workers appears to be increasing."
BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
-Ethnic minorities take the full brunt of racism in UK
-Estimates of 87,000 ethnic minorities - victim of racially motivated crimes
-Ethnic minorities have the worst unemployment & housing crises in the UK
-70% of ethnic minorities live in the 88 most deprived areas, compared to 40% of the general population.
-Stigmatized Muslims
-ECRI- Muslims take the brunt of anti-terror measures in UK, including stop & search powers
-Anti-terror provisions cause concern
BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
Many British Muslims, estimated at two million, have complained of maltreatment by police for no apparent reason other than being Muslim.
"Research has shown that Muslims feel stigmatized and alienated by these measures," says the report.
"Young Muslims who have been regularly stopped and searched feel increasingly marginalized."
The controversial stop and search powers have been under repeated criticism from human rights groups in and outside Britain.
BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
A 2009 report by the independent reviewer of anti-terrorism legislation, Lord Carlile of Berriew, estimated that between 8,000 and 10,000 stops per month were taking place but none had resulted in convictions.
In January, the European Court for Human Rights has dismissed the random police stop and search measures as a serious breach of human rights, asking London to suspended them.
BOYCOTT RACIST UK AT ONCE!!!
God, I just LOVE this Man because he speaks the Truth!
Hats off to Mr. Levy!
Mr. Levy...your voice and voices like yours are needed to stop the insanity and safe people on both sides for generations to come....!!!! I admire your courage and sense of humanity...One country one vote all citizens are equal under the law....!❤

Gideon Levy is a man of reason and a man of soul. Why has he had to be consigned to the position of opposition all the time except in this debate?
Gideon is a great man, I do respect him a lot, may Allah protect him, Amin 🙏🏻!
What a powerful speech
Thank you sir for being a decent human being. Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Full Respect.
I disagree that this can be called "Apartheid ". This is much, much worse. I worked in hospitals for People of Colour, during Apartheid South Africa.
The poorest of the poor had access to hospitals, water and clinics. It was a terrible system.
Yet nothing can be compared to whats happening in occupied Palestine.
Haridas991…
What you’re stating is absolutely absurd, rubbish and a lie.
Israeli Arabs citizens living in Judea and Sumeria aka “the West Bank” - homeland of the indigenous Jewish people for past 3,000 years - get the same health care benefits as the Israeli Jewish citizens.
To the Reader:
Gideon Levy is on the Far Left, politically.
He is Anti-Israel and is a self loathing Israeli Jew, who supports Palestinian radicalism.
He’s been told many times, that if he’s so unhappy living among his fellow Israeli Jews, he ought to leave Israel and live elsewhere.
I’m sure Hamas would welcome him in Gaza.
He’s also a huge hypocrite, as he lives in the Ramat Aviv
neighbourhood of Tel Aviv, a site that before 1948, was part of the Palestinian village of Sheikh Unis.
If his grandparents - who were murdered by the Nazis -
knew what a Jew hater he is, they’d wish they were never born, rather than give rise to a Judas Iscariot of his own people.
Levy is a divorced father of two. He says, his sons do not share his politics, and do not read anything he writes.
I’m not surprised.
His moral virtues within his own family, has been described as deplorable by friends of his, and say that he projects his own loathing and self hate onto Israel and Israeli Jews.
In closing, it’s rather sad, that, Levy - who, in the past I greatly admired - who used to be a moral compass has become a broken compass. 🙏😪
It’s worse than apartheid. It’s genocide.
Genuis , honest , for peace and humanity brilliant man, a voice of love God bless you MR Gideon
Amazing man mr Levy. I salute you
