Left-wing journalist and activist Gideon Levy lashed out at Israeli society and its security forces in an interview with British journalist Owen Jones.
“If one attack pushes so many Israelis to become inhuman, there's no other word but inhuman, imagine what it does to Palestinians who live under those attacks for decades, and we always wonder how come they hate us and how come they became those monsters and how come they are so violent and how come that they are not human,” he said.
“From my point of view nothing changed. That's an outcome of a reality, of people living in cages for 16 years. Israelis can be mad at me as much as they want. This does not justify the attack but it might explain the attack and the attack has a context, and ignoring the context is really ignoring reality,” stated Levy.
Later in the interview, he said, “In many cases I think the Palestinians are maybe much more tolerant than they should have been, because they are going through this hell for so many years…until the seventh of October there was never such a violent explosion by them. There were the exploding buses, the suicide bombers, I don't underestimate this, but by the end of the day they could have done much worse to Israel because of what Israel is doing to them now for 100 years.”

Some Israeli women had nails driven into their genitals, is that harsh enough for you Gideon?
The left will say the stupidest things and expect sane people to believe it . The left will believe anything they’re trained that way ,LOL
The Palis have been part of the GAZA /Hamas problem.
They are NOT a separate issue.
Pregnant women with their bellies cut open & baby also slain.
I don't care. If they are members of Hamas, so far as i'm concerned they all need to be shot.
My belief is that every member of Hamas needs to die. No prisoners, just kill them.
Hamas needs to be a dead entity because of what they did October 7th. No survivors. Anywhere. Hunt them down to the ends of the earth until none are left, and the world needs to remember that this is what happens to you when you put babies in ovens.
We use to have “Village Idiots”
The internet has helped them go global
Conditions?! These savages don’t need no conditions
Wishing it were true
Islam. They hate you because you are Infidels. It's not complicated.
All the idiots had to do in 1948 was form a government and govern. They went to war instead and thus it is and will be
Have the IDF been outright murdering prisoners?
I gotta ask what sort of drugs this guy is feeding on.
I read this article earlier, and passed on posting it here.
Mr. Levy really should emigrate.
Wow. Your ignorance is spectacular. The Israelis did not have a lot of choice in the matter. It just took a few hours for the arabs to attack on all fronts. They did form a government, and the arabs sought to destroy it within minutes. Same as now. The way you state your point, it seems like you regret that the Israelis survived and are responsible for all of the attempts to destroy them.
And even that is not enough. ham ass will regenerate within a generation unless the prospective mothers of all Gazans learn the lesson that teaching your offspring to murder Jews is always the worst choice for your whole society.
Hearts and minds need changing permanently, and mere military victory is not enough.
Put them out of their misery.
Methinks you misread nifster. I suspect you two violently agree. I’ll leave it to him to clarify his statement accordingly.
I think Nifster’s comment was directed at the Arabs, not the Israelis.
Owen Jones, who writes for... The Guardian! Gosh, what a surprise!
Inhuman would be dropping enough FAE bombs onto Gaza to turn it into glass, then bulldozing the glass into the ocean.
What Israel is doing is humanity at it’s finest.
