Gideon Levy: The Israel-Palestine Conflict: How will it end?
November 05, 2014
Please join us for a talk by renowned Israeli author and human rights journalist Gideon Levy.
Levy—who has written for the Israeli daily Haaretz since 1982, and is a member of its editorial board—will focus on Israelis’ and Palestinians’ respective attitudes to the conflict, and how such attitudes are shaping the conflict’s evolution, duration and outcome.
Levy has recently reconsidered his long-time support for the “two-state solution” and his opposition to the boycott of Israel. Nonetheless, he considers himself an Israeli patriot, and refuses to be intimidated by extremist opponents.
Mr. Levy is the author of two books available in Canada: Twilight Zone – Life and Death under the Israeli Occupation. 1988–2003 (2004) and The Punishment of Gaza (2010). Levy was the recipient of the Euro-Med Journalist Prize in 2008, the Leipzig Freedom Prize in 2001, the Israeli Journalists’ Union Prize in 1997, and The Association of Human Rights in Israel Award for 1996.
