FEATURING GIDEON LEVY - It’s been more than a year since the start of Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza that has left more than 40,000 dead, including 17,000 children. Israel has since expanded the war to Lebanon and is threatening to strike Iran. 

The Biden-Harris administration in the United States has wholeheartedly supported Israel’s genocide, sending weapons to kill Gazans, and President Biden recently committed one hundred U.S. troops to join Israel, this, in spite of a lack of public support for such a move. 

Gideon Levy is a prominent Israeli journalist, who for decades has spoken out against the oppression of Palestinians in his column in Ha’aretz called “Twilight Zone.” In 2010, he wrote a book called The Punishment of Gaza and has followed that up with a new book released in October 2024 called The Killing of Gaza: Reports on a Catastrophe. Levy spoke with YES! Senior Editor Sonali Kolhatkar on YES! Presents: Rising Up With Sonali from Tel Aviv about his new book and the on-going genocide of Palestinians.
