Israel's fears, its delusions and its future | Daniel Levy | The Big Picture S3Ep7

Is there a path back from the brink for Israel and Palestine?
Under the blinding influence of fury and revenge after the October 7 attack, Israel has waged a relentless war in Gaza which killed more than 11,000 Palestinians and displaced more than 1.5 million people.
But beyond its stated aim to eliminate Hamas, there seems to be no plan for what happens the day after, or what would stop the wheel of violence from continuing to spin.
This week on The Big Picture podcast, we sit down with former Israeli negotiator and analyst Daniel Levy, who now heads the US-Middle East Project.
Levy argues that despite the terrifying language now normal within Israeli society, there is still an offramp, and even a road to peace.

I am a Canadian Christian. I was so pro Israel until I watched a video of how Israeli protesters voiced how they hate Africans and was so proud to be racist against black Africans. Then i saw Palestinians homes being sprayed bulldozed down. My first response was , What !!! I couldn't believe this was actually happening in the holy land. I use to feel connected to them, because our struggles was almost the same. Now what i see them doing to the Palestinians is beyond evil. It is wicked. You cannot kill a whole bunch of innocent people (women and babies) to catch a few bad guys. This is unthinkable. Look lets call this what it is Benjamin Netanyahu needed an excuse to bomb the hell out of Palestine to put up new settlement for more Americans and European Jews (white). The Palestinians people was not the ones who put 6 million Jewish people in the gas chamber and do experiments on them. It was the Germans. SHAME ON ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS OK.

[@wankertanker1813]

Could you point me in the direction of some videos like you mention. The only streaming I'm currently on is utoob. So on there would be best... From what I've seen, I don't doubt this. I'm so-called "white" and I despise the despicable ideology of white supremacy, no matter what religion or not people try to pretend bolsters it. Pretends.

[@nabilsz]

Quick question, I agree with everything you said but you had me scratching my head about when you said you are going through the same struggle, not to mention that your Palestinian Christian brethren have suffered for over 70 years under this racist apartheid voilent and vile regime but are the muslims the struggle you are on about? I hope I am wrong about this but wow what an eye opener for you ay

[@RobertLeffel]

I wish, for your own sake that you get informed and not just spew Pallywood propaganda. There is no apartheid in Israel, and while the legal situation in the West Bank is problematic, it doesn’t amount to apartheid either. Israel left Gaza in 2005, and the blockade didn’t come about until after 2007 when Hamas took Gaza over and started firing rockets at Israel. It will end when Hamas ends. The occupation of West Bank will end when Palestinians will demonstrate that they are willing and able to live in peace with Israel. Next to Israel and not instead of Israel. Until this happens, Israel will retain security control of both territories.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that justice will be made in the name of all the innocent lives that were lost and of all the suffering caused. And I hope that Israeli people will have the courage and dignity to stand up for what's right and make their own politicians pay the price for their corrupt intentions. I and I hope people everywhere will hold their own "leaders" accountable for declaring their unconditional support to an abusive state such as Israel and calling it their "friend" and speaking in the name of the country they were representing. So irresponsible considering the history of abuse of Israel. The international community has demonstrated TOTAL INCOMPETENCE and complicity. They all need to be held accountable. Not just Netanyahu.

Excellent discussion. Kudos, gentlemen. Current events in Gaza has much of the world holding Israel in pariah status. Backs will be turned. Sanctions applied. Visas refused. Only when Israeli society humbles itself and sincerely wants reconciliation with their Palestinian peoples, will these measures be relaxed. Spoken as one who lived under apartheid in South Africa. For all its evil, it was mild compared to the present Palestinian ethnic cleansing. In our case, there were a number of internal factors that influenced SA voters. Sanctions only hardened the resolve to fight the world. Christians began to repent and pray for God's intervention. Also, the young intelligentsia moved beyond the racial divides in many cases, allowing us to see our 'enemies' as fellow humans, thus eliciting compassion and kindness. Society broke the back of Apartheid by literally removing support from the apartheid leaders.

I think Israel owes the Palestinians alot MORE then allowing 2 narrow strips to be connected by a tunnel. They are not animals. Lives have been lost, homes repossessed, children jailed without trial, lands being taken, olive trees destroyed. I can't believe you made this statement trying to make it seem charitable. Palestinians are not animals just as the Jewish victims of the Holocaust are not animals and were compensated not only with money but the British stepped in with the Belfour Declaration, ensuring safe passage and military backup for Jews to go to Palestine and settle there. Not only that there is a lasting legacy that no bad deeds done by Jewish groups can ever be criticised without the continual threat of being chased after with the label of anti semitism. The US has become the Israeli cash cow where 10 mil USD of American tax payer money is channeled to Israel DAILY.

An excellent interview .

[@rossekitchen9098]

Thank you to Daniel and the creators for such an interesting, thought provoking and educational interview. I think the only thing that wasn't addressed, was the economic factors. Especially those that drive Western foreign policy; Oil & Gas industry and Weapons.

Mr Netanyahu your time will come...

[@elisabettaaugelli8286]

Thank you 🙏

[@vasseva]

It may sound strange but this conversation calmed me down. Stoic, level headed and hugely informative political analysis. It's interesting to see that more recent events (last 2-3 days) seem to confirm his points on what may happen (ceasefire), why and how. Thank you.

[@janetwalmsley-heron]

THANK YOU I LOVED THIS CONVERSATION THANK YOU DANIEL and GOD BLESS you and it would be wonderful if everyone could think and converse like this.

[@hindculhane470]

Mr Levy is as always honest , rational , straight in his assessment of the Israeli invasion of Gaza and its occupation policies .

[@DoctorQcumber]

It's always so refreshing to hear from Daniel on this issue. There are many people who are doing great work focusing on the plight of the Palestinians and convincing the western world that they need our solidarity, but we cannot forget the importance of also taking a step back from that to scour the landscape for paths to peace. It's very easy to imagine all the ways this could continue or get worse, but it takes a special kind of understanding and clarity of purpose to imagine the best ways to realistically resolve this. It's clear that Daniel is dedicated to finding the best solution, and I can only hope that he and others like him have the ear of those in power whenever we are able to get some sort of negotiations going on a long-term solution.

[@RobertLeffel]

Levy is well past his sell by date. Stale as f&ck. Only ignorant people find him refreshing.

[@terriej123]

This is exactly how I’ve been seeing it. I’ve noticed everything that he is saying is in this interview. I’m so glad that such a prominent person is thinking &/or confirming all of these things.

[@whisperatnight5877]

JERUSALEM, June 18 (Reuters) - Israel gave preliminary approval for the development of a gas field off the Gaza Strip on Sunday while saying it would require security coordination with the Palestinian Authority and neighbouring Egypt. If concluded, the agreement would be a boost for the cash-strapped Palestinian economy. Announcing the move on the Gaza Marine project, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said progress would hinge on “preserving the State of Israel’s security and diplomatic needs”. WHEN WILL YOU PPL TALK ABOUT THE LIQUID GAS DEPOSITS UNDER GAZA THAT CHEVRON AND ROCKEFELLER ARE WILLING TO FUND GENOCIDE TO GET ?

[@pavitra.35]

Really worth watching the interview.

[@RobinHerzig]

Too bad Daniel Levy isn't at the negotiating table today, right now. Or leading the Knesset, or Prime Minister instead of Netanyahu… but here we are Only way out, as I see it, is for the US to pull support, which is never gonna happen 😕

[@Muhdah1972]

Excellent episode and educational for someone like myself who has only a basic knowledge of the origins of Israel/Palestine dilemma. I saw Mr. Levy on Amanpour & Co. and he had a great conversation with her about the future of Isr/Palestine.

[@RobertLeffel]

Indeed. Only someone utterly ignorant can take Levy’s drivel as a gospel. Which is most of pro-Palestine clowns.

[@常淑懿]

Totally agree. Thank you for being true and patient!! You have a beautiful heart

[@muhabwahby]

Daniel Levy represents a handful of sane brave Israeli voices. I'm surprised he hasn't given up yet, knowing how extreme right the general population have become. Really appreciated this talk and would love to hear his updates now, after the humanitarian pause and resumption of hostilities. Has everyone gone rogue? It seems a lot more likely to escalate wildly unless the US can put a cap on it quickly.

[@motimobo]

I don't think he's Israeli is he?

[@muhabwahby]

@@motimobo I believe he is or was, if he was on the Israeli negotiating team in the early 2000s peace accords.

[@mhsidibe1]

So refreshing to hear a human speak

[@ilhamthreet4283]

Uplifting conversation

[@QueenYak]

What is the plan for the Ben Gurion Canal project? If that's still on the books, then most of what Israel is now doing makes sense when viewed through the lens of global capitalism.

[@lynnevenables7193]

A great insight from a very warm person.

[@mohammedahmed5736]

I think a big point that's undervalued here is the accountability of politicians. The Israeli ones will always be answerable to people who fundamentally won't agree to big concessions (concessions from their perspective), and perhaps more importantly, US politicians will be too scared to be a neutral broker if their perpetuation as elected officials every couple of years hinges on donors who are pro-Israel.
