...
Coming to Victoria next week:
The "most heroic" Israeli
See Gideon
Levy's most recent article on Netanyahu's recent election
win.
Aljazeera
English recently did a full-hour documentary on Levy entitled, "Going against the Grain."
No service fees for
on-line tickets
Dear Erica,
The Independent asked "Is Gideon Levy the most
hated man in Israel or just the most heroic?" He is hated, because he
unhesitatingly tells the truth about Israel's brutal occupation of the
West Bank and Gaza. He is heroic, because he is one of the few
Israelis who does this, despite threats to his life and career.
On Saturday, March 28, Gideon Levy will be in Victoria, and we
invite you to take the opportunity to hear this daring and courageous
journalist.
Click here to get your ticket on-line now, or see more ticket info below.
Levy will be in Victoria just days after the Israeli elections, and will talk about the outlook for the future in his talk entitled: "Israeli Elections: What next for Israel-Palestine?"
Don't miss this opportunity to hear this courageous and articulate Israeli human rights journalist. See more info on Levy below.
Levy's talk will be followed by a Q&A period.
Please share this email widely with friends and acquaintances in Victoria.
Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
CJPME Leadership

Gideon Levy is both a long-time journalist with Haaretz, as well as a member of its editorial board. Levy has won journalism awards, including the Emil Grunzweig Human Rights Award in 1996 by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, the Anna Lindh foundation journalism award in 2008 for an article he wrote about Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces, and the Peace Through Media Award in 2012. He has been described as "a powerful liberal voice" by The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman and praised by Johann Hari of The Independent as "the heroic Israeli journalist." Literary critic Nicholas Lezard described him as "an Israeli dedicated to saving his country's honour," and he has also been profiled in Le Monde and Der Spiegel. Mr. Levy made international news in December when he was detained for a day or two by Israeli security forces as he was crossing between the West Bank and Israel.
