31. Levy has gone even more extreme
Martin ,   USA   (03.15.11)
Is he serious by saying Hamas didn't put up a fight against Israel. He of course didn't mention the rocket attacks against Sederot. And he's defending Arafat who attack schools and school buses. He's a liar and a traitor.
32. Tsarral, send Gideon Levy to Gaza border.
ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (03.15.11)
Tsarral, send Gideon Levy to Gaza border, next the fence. The best place for him to make a "meluim".

ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (03.15.11)

Maxime Levy ,   ISRAE / USA   (03.15.11)
If you don't like living in beautiful israel, than move to Gaza and take with you all of the leftist radical absurd mentality. BON VOYAGE!!!

38. Levy
Michael Pielet ,   Boca, usa   (03.15.11)
Levy is a direct descendent of Kastner. Kastner, the hungarian jew who sent 500,000 hungarian jewish children women and men to their deaths in Poland. Where do we jews come by people like this. He who is merciful to the cruel will be cruel to the merciful. Levy
39.  Gideon Levy
mike merhi ,   canada   (03.15.11)
Mr. levy is very courageous man. he has the vision to tell every one to be aware of the fact: if you don't learn from history you'll be forced to relive it. furthermore: if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. just watch history unfold in the arab world and learn what could happen to all.
40. This is news? He's a Ha'aretz reporter! It's his job!
Scott ,   USA   (03.15.11)
He could get fired for saying anything else!
41. gideon levy
irv ,   columbus USA   (03.15.11)
Everything Levy says about Israeli press is so true about himself!!!!!!!!
42. Gideon
Mark ,   New Rochelle, USA   (03.15.11)
He is a disgrace to the name. Maybe he should change it to Mahmoud. In his desperate attempts to be accepted by the most anti Israeli country in Europe he sells out his country. next he will fly to Tehran for the "Holocaust is a lie" conference
43. Gideon levy is telling the truth
David azoulay ,   maale adoumim   (03.15.11)
that's why he is shocking so many brainwashed people
44. Doesn't he have a rapist to defend??
Danny   (03.15.11)
45. Gideon Levy, keep up the good work!!!!!!!
david ,   jerusalem   (03.15.11)
The jewish people are taught since birth that they are the chosen people. You never really ask yourselves who actually "chose" you, and just believe in this egomaniac and genocidal god you created yourselves in your mind. The jewish people then go around believing this stupidity of "being chosen" and that really inflates their ego and believe they can do whatever they want to whoever they want. Add to that the "they've always persecuted us, and treated us really bad" (can you blame the persecutors?). You people have to come down from that cloud you live in, and then maybe someone in the world will treat with some respect. Respect is earned, you can't go around demanding for it, just because you're the "chosen people". I grew up in a jewish home, but always asked myself what is this bs they are trying to endoctrinate me in school. Now i'm religion free and a proud believer in rationality (aka atheism). Gideon Levy, keep up the good work!!!!!!!
46. Levy surpasses them all
Reuven ,   Israel   (03.15.11)
Levy's hateful diatribes go way beyond anything I read in foreign newspapers. Haaretz has much to be ashamed for.
47. ISRAEL IS A FREE SOCIETY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (03.15.11)
In a free society,people are free to express their opinions even if others don't like the message.That's not something to throw away. But,there's another freedom that Israelis have.If they disapprove of a newspaper's editorial stance,they don't have to buy that newspaper.There are others that might suit better. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
48. HE SAYS WHAT WE THINK
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shormon IL   (03.15.11)
Like him or not, he says what most of us think.
49. Yes yes it is the same PLO, no mistake there
deavman ,   Acco   (03.15.11)
50. Not SUMERIA, Samaria (Shomron)
deavman ,   Acco   (03.15.11)
It is kind of sad that Jews should not be allowed to live in Judea, while some immigrant from Iran might be welcome by his Moslem brethren from Shechem. ....If that is not Anti Jewish, I wonder what is
51. Oh yeah, sure, dehumanization... . Ridiculous.
Zvi   (03.15.11)
Israeli TV programs like Avodah Aravit (channel 2) dehumanize? How about Israeli choice of an Arab as Miss Israel? What about interviews with Dr. Abu al-Aish? What about Haaretz - is he including Haaretz? How about Yedioth Ahronoth? Maariv? How about sports programming? Does Israeli media treat Arab Israeli sports heroes as evil subhumans? Levy's other comments make it clear that he is willing to see through an ideologically distorted lens. That he pretends any comparison between Israel and the rapacious thugs of the region is an insult to intelligence and to journalists everywhere.
52. haaretz
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (03.15.11)
Several times I wrote to their page, but my comments never appeared. Maybe because I wrote a simple truth: with a newspaper like that you don't need an enemy.
53. a man with a mission.......
tiki ,   belgium   (03.15.11)
How to be in the news as much as possible? Not difficult, like all the rest of the aging losers.....'bashing Israel with lies ALWAYS WORKS. Stop giving him a stage, the man is just not worth it.
54. Didn't Arab media do more damage to Pallys?
William ,   Israel   (03.15.11)
By showing "Palestinians" as vindictive "natives" and justifying murder of Israeli civilians, didn't the Arab media, by exalting their war crimes as "justice" show the rest of the world for what "Palestinians" really are - plain old terrorists? How else can the West describe airline hijackings, cold-blooded murder of families in their sleep, blowing up buses, and having themselves honored through city squares and youth centers? Gideon Levy should take it up with the Arab media and the Arab leaders who put "Palestinians" in this position in the first place, rather than opt for coexistence with Jews in their own homeland.
55. The likes of Gideon Levy don't vlaue their lives at all ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (03.15.11)
i would like to ask him how much more inhumane can a human become after slashing a three month old baby's throat while she slept? Mr Levy please leave Israel and go make your home with the anti-Semites that rule Dublin ... you'll not be liked by them but you'll feel so much 'better'. Israelis need to kick out scum like this idiot and take in people that love Israel like myself.
56. Desperate masochist
Frankie ,   Tel Aviv   (03.15.11)
Gideon Levy sees only the Palestinans' sorrows, trust only their narrative, has a Dybbuk in his heart, but we have a lot of compassionate, but balanced journalists, not such nebbich's.
57. Same guys that sank the Altalena. Remember the Altalena!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (03.15.11)
58. Zionism
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.15.11)
In one article, YNet summarizes why Jews are hated, why there is worldwide support for Jihad against the Jews, why the genocidal Hamas is more loved than Israel and why more and more people think that Israel should not exist. These are all results of what happens when an Israeli Jew writes such lies. Is there anyone who still believes that there is such a thing as a Zionist Leftist?
59. Response to#28
John R ,   NYC USA   (03.15.11)
You're right I didn't live in the Middle East. My wife lived there (Israel) during the 73" war and lost her first husband in it. Please outline in your response to this what I said in my first response that was factually wrong. Any other way you are simply attacking the messenger which is what little kids do when you take their pail away in the sand box. Be very specific sir. I said Israel was violating the 4th Geneva Convention art 49. Please tell me and the rest of the world why that is wrong. Please tell everyone why Israel's embargo on Gaza which limited food imports, blew up power plants and water purification facilities. bulldozed 31,000 chickens and withheld $4.1 billion in international aid was not a violation of art 33 of the 4th Geneva Convention. Specifically what statements are ridiculous? I could comfortably say your response is ridiculous. Do you believe Israel, after losing 1 soldier for every 100 people killed in Cast Lead is incapable of defending itself against the Palestinians?You should inform the Israeli General Staff because apparently they're in the dark.
60. Traitor
hadad ,   London U.K   (03.15.11)
should change his name to Arafat and to to gaza to his shaheed brothers
