Is Gideon Levy the most hated man in Israel or just the most heroic?

NOVANEWS For three decades, the writer and journalist Gideon Levy has been a lone voice, telling his readers the truth about what goes on in the Occupied Territories. Interview by Johann Hari 24 September 2010 Gideon Levy is the most hated man in Israel – and perhaps the most heroic.

Nearly every week for three decades, he has travelled to the Occupied Territories and described what he sees, pl...

SONGS BY IKHLAS-YASMIN PART II

NOVANEWS   Songs by Ikhlas-Yasmin Jebara from Salem: Part II   This continues the previous post, showing for the first time songs by our friend Ikhlas.  The picture above was taken a few weeks ago, when Ikhlas visited the Mediterranean Sea for the second time in her life. The sea is only 47km from her home (measured via Google Maps), but the Occupation regime –  especially its prisonlike nature during the past decade – prevents most West Bank Palestinians from visiting it. Both of Ikhlas’ beach visits were initiated by the Villages Group. On the first time, Ikhlas and her brother Mohammed were taken to Tel Aviv to meet an Israeli eye specialist, who unfortunately confirmed that their blindness is incurable. The second time came about after repeated appeals to military authorities, to...
