It’s been more than a year since the start of Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza that has left more than 40,000 dead, including 17,000 children. Israel has since expanded the war to Lebanon and is threatening to strike Iran.
The Biden–Harris administration has wholeheartedly supported Israel’s genocide. President Biden recently committed 100 United States troops to Israel despite a lack of public support for such a move.
Gideon Levy is a prominent Israeli journalist, who for decades has spoken out against the oppression of Palestinians in his Ha’aretz column called “Twilight Zone.” In 2010, he wrote a book called The Punishment of Gaza, and he released a new book this October, The Killing of Gaza: Reports on a Catastrophe. Levy spoke with YES! Senior Editor Sonali Kolhatkar on YES! Presents: Rising Up With Sonali from Tel Aviv about his new book and the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
