offended.

Just a sample of his vile support...

He is however critical of how Israel treats the Palestinians - perhaps you're confusing his criticism with supporting terror?

Who do you think you're kidding? Here's Levy being congratulated at Mondoweiss for writing that it's Palestinians' right and duty to resist.

Couldn't be more clear. It's their right to resist, even if by vile means.
And what's the reaction from the Mondoweiss author?
Does he read it the same way I read it?
Let's see...



The only way to read Gideon Levy is as a terror supporter.
When Hamas and friends read that, they must read it as support.
This is nothing but incitement to terror.

This one is even more clear.
Palestinian terror is justified, as in it is their right to do so.
Other terrorism isn't justified.

You agree with this?

Pointing out that Palestinian terrorism may have a cause, and that that cause is Israel's treatment of Palestinians doesn't mean a justification of terrorism. Levy is pretty clear that the cause for terrorism should be addressed, not ignored.

Perhaps you don't think that Israel's treatment of Palestinians is the direct cause of terrorism? That would go a long way towards explaining why you think that Levy is a terror supporter.

What happened to Little Tich from Oct. 2015? Is that a different Little Tich?

It's justification.
Gideon Levy flat-out admitted terror is justified against Israelis & not justified against Europeans.
Levy could not have made the case for terror better than any Hamasnik.
The entire article is incitement.

but apart from that I still agree with the argument that even if the occupation is the main cause of Palestinian terrorism, it doesn't absolve the terrorist.

But it's probably true that some Palestinians believe that there's no other way to stop the occupation. Mentioning it is in no way support for terrorism.

Levy is still OK.

He's not merely reporting what Palestinians think and believe.

That's his argument too, no matter how much you want to deny the obvious.

BDS = Support for terror, destroying the Jewish state.

100% antisemitism.
Pure filth.
You're on the wrong side of history.

Game over.

‘Sick,’ ‘perverts,’ ‘abomination,’ ‘blasphemers,’ ‘handicapped’: Hate speech against Israel’s LGBTQ community has reached fever pitch this week, and comes as police have detained queer activists and the High Court has capitulated to homophobia.

Op-ed: Religious Zionists hold many views that are abhorrent to the secular, though their response to these views varies based on their potential closeness to the issues; only a minority actually express these beliefs, held by the majority, and the secular sector's patience is wearing thin with them.

The shock in the secular world caused by Rabbi Yigal Levinstein's statements was so strong that even the chairman of Bayit Yehudi, Education Minister Naftali Bennett, had to condemn him. And after him, as always, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Basically, if you want to know what Netanyahu thinks about a specific topic, all you have to do is wait to hear Bennett's opinion, and then start the countdown to the PM's response. But there's no doubt that there are days when even the most committed atheist prays to God that Hell really exists, just so Levinstein and his ilk can go—after living to a ripe old age, of course—to their rightful place.

Series of scandals rocks Israeli Orthodox Zionism

First there was the “Gays are Perverts” speech by Rabbi Yigal Levenstein, one of the leading educators of the younger generation of Orthodox Zionism. This was followed by the disturbingly unenlightened ideas expressed by Col. Eyal Karim, who is designated to become the next chief rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Then came Orthodox former commander retired Maj. Gen. Gershon HaCohen’s defense of Orthodox Zionist Brig. Gen. Ofek Buchris upon being accused of rape. All of this should compel Orthodox Zionism to engage in some serious soul-searching.

Even when taken individually, each incident is so unacceptable that its very roots should come under investigation. When these events follow one another in a period of weeks, they expose the powerful forces at work to change the very essence of Orthodox Zionism as we once knew it.

At the center of each of these incidents are some of the most senior and influential figures in Orthodox Zionism, the very people charged with educating the next generation. For that reason alone, what happened cannot be considered a series of stand-alone incidents. They represent a line of thought and action that must prompt a much more comprehensive debate than simply focusing on “incitement against gays and lesbians.”

HaBayit HaYehudi Chairman and Minister of Education Naftali Bennett did have the courage to renounce Rabbi Levenstein’s “pervert speech,” even if it meant coming out against a popular figure who plays a dominant role in his own religious Zionist electorate. On the other hand, he did not go far enough. For example, he did not demand that Rabbi Levenstein be removed from his position as head of the pre-military yeshiva in Eli. The reason for this is simple. While Bennett realizes that Levenstein’s remarks are destructive and ignorant, and that they are tearing Orthodox Zionism apart from the inside, he is also aware that Levenstein’s followers have enormous public and electoral strength — as evidenced by the hundreds of rabbis who signed a letter in support of Levenstein. Bennett focused on Rabbi Levenstein’s boorish remarks about gay people, but he ignored the fact that Levenstein also said that reform Jews are ''part of Christianity.'' Obviously this would have been one battle too many for him. At the same time, Bennett also ignored the underlying principle behind Rabbi Levenstein’s comprehensive ideology, which advocates the superiority of Jewish law and religion over national institutions, chief among them the IDF.

The paragraphs excerpted completely contradict themselves.

1. The Pride Parade occurs. No one prevents it from happening for fear of offending people's feelings. Most religious people don't take part.

2. The Jerusalem Day Parade occurs. No one prevents it from happening for fear of offending people's feelings. Most secular people don't take part .

Neither event is canceled because it fills Gideon or anyone else "with terrible shame".

..........that our Gideon offends you both so much .

He doesn't compromise shira .....

He's a vile, pathetic POS and it's no wonder the past Zionist potzers from all of Israel can barely fill a small room.

Nothing but a justification for Palestinian terror.

Pure incitement.

"the resort of those who have no choice" - what about all the other people in the world who are able to find a choice other than terror? there are plenty of choices. By saying there is no choice, Gideon Levy is just encouraging the Palestinians by implying terrorism is the RIGHT choice. horrible.

...than to stab, run over, & blow up innocents. That's what everyone in the world does, right?
