We speak with acclaimed Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, columnist for Haaretz and a member of its editorial board, about how the Israeli media has covered the war on Gaza, the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice and more. Levy says the domestic Israeli media all but ignores the Palestinians being killed, focusing mostly on its own soldiers and the families of hostages. The Israeli average viewer doesn't see Gaza at all, he says. They are betraying our first mission: to tell the full story. Levy also says there are growing questions about the IDF's response to the October 7 Hamas attack that cannot wait until the end of fighting in Gaza. That includes intelligence failures in the lead-up to the attack, as well as reports of troops killing Israeli civilians when they opened fire on homes taken over by Hamas militants. • Support our work: https://democracynow.org/give • Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
