Gideon Levy, Haaretz’s man on the West Bank since 1982, is a throwback to the days when left-wing journalists put their lives on the line to report on epoch-defining struggles like the Spanish Civil War. He has had his car shot up by Israeli soldiers and U.S. tax dollar-funded weapons turned on him. The son of Holocaust survivors, Levy retaliates with words: “Israel is not asked ‘to give’ anything to the Palestinians. It is only being asked to return—to return their stolen land and restore their trampled self-respect.”
