Mr. Levy is a true progressive on the Israeli Left, courageously exposing and criticizing Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians, in stark contrast to others who engage in Zionist apologetics like espousing “balanced narratives,” being “fair-minded,” or seeing “complexities” in the Palestinian Nakba.
Mr. Levy has recently also written an excellent piece defending Neve Gordon and his support for the BDS Campaign. Definitely worth a read. See:
