Gideon Levy Warns Israel’s ‘Chosen People’ Mindset Fuels Palestinian Abuse
April 18, 2026
“We are the chosen people.”
REALLY??
Israeli journalist Gideon Levy @levy.gideon is tearing down the psychological walls that keep an entire nation in denial. In his most recent exposés, Levy reveals the three pillars that allow Israeli society to maintain a regime of impunity while Palestinians are systematically dehumanized:
The belief that Israel is the eternal victim, meaning whatever it does is defense, no matter the body count.
The deep-seated, often unconscious belief that Jewish lives are inherently more valuable than Palestinian lives.
Treating Palestinians not as equal human beings with rights, but as a “demographic threat” or “animals” to be caged.
JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL.
When you believe you are chosen, you believe you can do no wrong and that is the most dangerous lie of all.

English Script:
Gedeon Levy: If we are the chosen people, who are you to tell us what to do? Who are you? Who is the international community to tell Israel what to do? International law? Wonderful thing. It doesn’t apply on us. It apply on any other place on earth, not on Israel. Because we are the chosen people. Don’t you understand it? The second very deep rooted value. These obviously the value of we, the victims, not only the biggest victims, but the only victims around. I know many occupations which were longer than the Israeli occupation, somewhere even more brutal, even though it’s getting harder and harder to be more brutal than the Israeli occupation. I don’t recall one occupation in which the occupier present himself as the victim. Not only the victim, the only victim we have to phrase here is to quote here, the late Golda Meir, whom I quoted also last time. I know, but it is so unforgettable I have to use it again. She once said that we will never forgive the Arabs for forcing us to kill their children. We are the victims. We are forced to kill their children. Poor us. And as the victim and the only victim in history, again, it enables us the rights to do whatever we want. And nobody is going to tell us what to do because we are the only victims. To this, there’s a third very deep rooted value. And this is the very deep belief. Again, everyone will deny it. But if you scratch under the skin of almost every Israeli, you will find it there. The Palestinians are not equal human beings like us. They are not like us. They don’t love their children like us. They don’t love life like us. They were born to kill. They are cruel. They are sadists. They have no values, no manners. Look how they kill us. This is very, very deep, rooted in Israeli society. And maybe that’s the key issue. Because as long as this continues, nothing will move. As long as most of the Israelis don’t perceive the Palestinians as equal human beings. We are so much better than them. We are so much developed than them, and we are so much human than them. As long as this is the case, all our dreams and we have some dreams and I’ll get to them all, our dreams will never become true. As long as this core issue will not change.
