Israel: The road to fascism is paved with complacency

Five Minutes to Midnight

Award-winning Israeli author and Haaretz newspaper journalist Gideon Levy discusses the implications of the latest Israeli election, which took place earlier this month (1 November 2022). He says for Israeli Arabs and, especially, for the Palestinians under Israeli occupation, matters may became much worse, and he notes the total lack of interest of Israelis in the plight of the Palestinian people, let alone finding a just solution to the Palestinian issue. Much of this indifference can be attributed to the Israeli media whose coverage of the Palestinians, contrary to the assertions of various Western media guides, is anything but fair. The only hope of a breakthrough lies in pressure from the United States and the European Union but that, Levy says, is highly unlikely to happen.
