Is Gideon Levy the most hated man in Israel or just the most heroic?  <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“The historian Isaac Deutscher once offered an analogy for the creation of the state of Israel. A Jewish man jumps from a burning building, and he lands on a Palestinian, horribly injuring him. Can the jumping man be blamed? Levy\u2019s father really was running for his life: it was Palestine, or a concentration camp. Yet Levy says that the analogy is imperfect \u2013 because now the jumping man is still, sixty years later, smashing the head of the man he landed on against the ground, and beating up his children and grandchildren too. \u201c1948 is still here. 1948 is still in the refugee camps. 1948 is still calling for a solution,\u201d he says. \u201cIsrael is doing the very same thing now… dehumanising the Palestinians where it can, and ethnic cleansing wherever it\u2019s possible. 1948 is not over. Not by a long way.\u201d”<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
