Ten Times Gideon Levy was Evil or a Liar:
1. December 17, 2018 — After Shira Ish-Ran, 30 weeks pregnant, was wounded in a drive-by terror shooting at an Ofra bus stop and her baby — delivered by emergency C-section — died days later, Levy wrote that he had no sympathy for the settlers, their tragedy wasn't his, and "the settlers' lust for revenge is never satisfied."
2. July 2014 — "Lowest Deeds from Loftiest Heights" attacked IDF pilots during Operation Protective Edge, writing that "Israel's 'heroic' pilots push buttons and joysticks, battling the weakest and most helpless of people."
3. August 28, 2025 — Labeled IDF West Bank commander Avi Bluth "Oberkommandant" — the German Nazi term for supreme commander — while accusing him of collective punishment. Netanyahu and ministers condemned it as antisemitic incitement.
4. March 31, 2022 — Haaretz column opening with "The way of terror is the only way open to the Palestinians to fight for their future…Israel has taught them this."
5. Recurring — Repeatedly praises Marwan Barghouti — convicted on five counts of murder, including the June 12, 2001 ambush of Greek Orthodox monk Father Georgios Tsibouktzakis on the road to Ma'ale Adumim — as "the only chance to inject new hope into the dying Palestinian cause" and "the most hopeful leader for the Palestinian people."
6. May 2008 — Claimed West Bank Palestinian children had only one swimming pool to escape summer heat. CAMERA published photos of the many pools in every major West Bank town. Levy responded by calling CAMERA "a McCarthyist group" rather than correct.
7. February 2020 — Claimed in his Kafr Qaddum column that an IDF tractor "slammed into a crowd" of Palestinian protesters. Video showed no such impact; the frontloader was clearing boulders Palestinians had placed in the road. Haaretz issued a correction, blaming a "translation error."
8. March 2020 — In "Why are some Israelis so evil?" claimed both Gazan parents of a dying 10-year-old cancer patient (Miral) were denied entry to be with her in Nablus. Correction: only the mother's request was initially denied and was eventually approved; the father never even applied.
9. March 2017 — Claimed Jews are "the least" victims of US hate crimes. CAMERA forced corrections in both English and Hebrew: Jews are the most-targeted religious group.
10. October 2012 — Wrote a Haaretz piece headlined "Survey: Most Israeli Jews support apartheid regime in Israel" based on a Dialog poll. CAMERA/Presspectiva obtained the original survey and found Levy had ignored data that didn't suit him and at times completely reversed the survey's findings.
