[...] The Truth About Israel As Only Gideon Levy Can Tell It – Gideon Levy writesfor Ha’aretz, the newspaper than enables some Israelis, sadly a minority,to cling on to their sanity. I have described him in the past as the conscienceof Israeli journalism. But he is far more than that. He is the conscience ofall Israeli Jews. http://www.alanhart.net/the-truth-about-israel-as-only-gideon-levy-can-tell-it/ [...]

The liberal Zionism of Gideon Levy is telling by his words: “For the Palestinians, consenting to the 1967 borders along with a solution to the refugee problem, including at least the return of a symbolic number of refugees themselves, are painful concessions. They also represent the only just compromise, without which peace will not be established.”

It is not a “compromise.” If someone took over your home and then agreed to let you live in the garage, would that be a “just compromise”?

Unless Levy calls for Jews to relinquish all land stolen from the Palestinians and paying reparations, then berating his fellow Jews for the methods they use to obtain and hold onto that land — i.e., “Israeli society’s ‘moral blindness’ — his position (hold onto their land but don’t hurt them) is assailable.

Regarding using the word “Settlers”. Zionist Propaganda Big Lie.

The proper English word should be SQUATTERS not Settlers, Squatters are those who take my home, or put building on my property without my permission. Settlers are those who build on land not owned by others, or contested as stealing. I also suggest the word “squatville” to replace the word “settlement.”
As you know words paint pictures in the mind of the reader, and reinforce his past thinking or cause him to reevaluate what he had originally thought.

I believe every time the word Settlers is used regarding the taking of Palestine land you are falling in to the Israeli big lie. And if you tell the lie long enough and it is supported, used by others it’s believe by those who do not now the history or facts.

We have not forgotten when Elected Prime Minister Rabin and Elected President Arafat were working on the finalization of a willing and United Agreement of peace, Both were called Peace Makers. But after the Zionist Bullet of Hate was fired in to the Back of A Jew looking For Peace by a Zionist Jew looking for More Palestine Land. The blame has now been placed on President Arafat, by the US, “No Genuine Palestinian Partner for Peace”

“In memory of my Friend Alex Odeh 1944 to 1985″ Who believed in the Power of words. He was assassinated when a bomb ripped through his office Oct. 11, 1985 as he opened the office door (American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee), in Santa Ana California across the street from the Orange County Court house of Law.

Desmond Tutu famously said conditions in Palestine are “far worse” than anything he witnessed in Apartheid South Africa.

Do you not believe him?

Gideon Levy is taking a risk. I admire him and Amira Hass for their courage. Both of them work for Haaretz. Thank you Alan for giving him the credit.
