The Liberal Agenda – Gideon Levy Public Lecture
Gideon Levy Public Lecture – Mount Eden Memorial Hall
NZ Palestine Solidarity Network is hosting Gideon Levy in Auckland New Zealand on 3 December @ 3PM.
Gideon Levy is a Haaretz columnist and a member of the newspaper’s editorial board. This will be his first time in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Levy joined Haaretz in 1982, and spent four years as the newspaper’s deputy editor. He is the author of the weekly Twilight Zone feature, which covers the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza over the last 25 years, as well as the writer of political editorials for the newspaper.
Levy was the recipient of the Euro-Med Journalist Prize for 2008; the Leipzig Freedom Prize in 2001; the Israeli Journalists’ Union Prize in 1997; and The Association of Human Rights in Israel Award for 1996.
His new book, The Punishment of Gaza, has just been published by Verso Publishing House in London and New York.
Gideon Levy has been called by some,”The most hated man in Israel.” But by others, “The bravest man in Israel.”
So which statement is true?
BOTH!!!
We are fortunate in NZ to have the opportunity to hear from this brave truth-teller.
