Reportage from the frontline of the crisis, from the leading Israeli journalist

Gideon Levy is one of the most respected critics of Israel's apartheid policies against the Palestinian people. He is the outspoken award-winning journalist who has been writing on the conflict for decades. In 
The Killing of Gaza, he brings together his on-the-ground perspectives of the events leading up to the 7th October and the ensuing devastation of Gaza. His clear-eyed analysis is a vital aperture into current events but he also brings essential historical and political context to the moment. He is unafraid to speak truth to power, and his work is an urgent rebuttal to the propaganda that is distributed through the mainstream liberal press, throughout the world. Levy's words should be read by anyone who wants to get the heart of this most brutal conflict and see for themselves that silence is no longer possible in the face of such atrocity.

Reviews

Levy is a rare voice of dissent. A humane and courageous Israeli journalist who weekly documents the moral degradation of colonisation on the Jewish state and its disastrous impact on the Palestinian people. This book represents a compelling collection of his writings at a time when his bravery is more needed than ever.
-- Antony Loewenstein, author of The Palestine Laboratory

[
The Killing of Gaza] shines an important light on a brutal conflict, without pretending to have a resolution for it.
-- Kirkus Reviews

The Killing of Gaza: Reports on a Catastrophe is perhaps the harshest condemnation of Israel's war on Gaza from any Israeli.
-- Nathan Robinson, Current Affairs

In 
The Killing of Gaza, Levy shows how Israel’s routine debasement of Gazans, now intensified by its war against Hamas, has become a primary cause of violence in the region...It’s fortunate that a few journalists in Haaretz are still able to deliver Israeli readers a powerful critique of the regime’s propaganda—one based on direct Palestinian testimony.
-- Benoit Challand, Public Seminar

[Levy is] a fierce critic of the occupation ... The chapters describing the harsh daily reality of life under occupation are an eye-opener.
-- Mark Weiss, Irish Times

"Shows how dreams of collective retribution once found only on the Israeli far right have become mainstream."
-- Mark Mazower, Financial Times
