Description

<p>Host Kevin Gosztola welcomes Israeli journalist Gideon Levy to the "Unauthorized Disclosure" podcast to discuss his new book from Verso, "The Killing Of Gaza: Reports On A Catastrophe" (available <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/3297-the-killing-of-gaza?ref=thedissenter.org" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>).</p> <p><br /></p> <p>He is a distinguished and well-known dissenting voice in Israeli media. During the conversation, he describes how there are very few journalists who show interest in the ongoing war in Gaza. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Gideon also addresses attacks on press freedom within Israel, such as the shutdown of Al Jazeera. He recalls how he was banned from a popular liberal-leaning current affairs program because he said Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners is as bad as Hamas' treatment of Israeli captives—or worse.</p>
