Gideon Levy: Getting Rid of Netanyahu Is Not Enough

[...]

Hanno Hauenstein
You’re saying, if I understand you correctly, that not annexing it de jure provides a diplomatic cover of sorts?

Gideon Levy
Sure. Because then there is still the two-state solution and all of those other talking points that are totally irrelevant today, in my view. They come too late. But once Israel declares one-state, the masquerade is over. Then nobody in the world will be able to claim that Israel is a democracy. There is no such thing as a democracy when half of your population lives under tyranny. But a de jure [annexation] will make it undeniable and official.

"Today we have a vision: one democratic state with equal rights,
civil and national, for everyone between the river and the sea."

Hanno Hauenstein
When you say the two-state solution is dead — what would be the alternative?

Gideon Levy
Right now, we are in a quite hopeless moment. But if we zoom out of the current situation, we have de facto been living in one state for over fifty years now. Between the river and the sea, there is only one state. I don’t know any other. The only question that matters is its regime. You cannot be both a democratic state and a Jewish state. Israel clearly chose one aspect over the other by paying lip service to democracy while being well aware that someone who lives in Jenin or in Ramallah has no rights. So it’s simple: Israel is not a democracy.

Today we have a vision: one democratic state with equal rights, civil and national, for everyone between the river and the sea.

Hanno Hauenstein
What would have to happen for this vision to become reality?

Gideon Levy
It must start with international pressure to put an end to apartheid.

Why is it your position on present Israeli colonialist policy is so different from so many other Jewish people.

Have you any idea on that? How come your position is so different from Barak's:

Related: Ehud Barak: the military mastermind Israel loves to hate
[...]Israel's yearning for experienced military leaders brought him back to political life after the 2006 Lebanon war and he became minister of defence. He seems to have a feel for what motivates his enemies and was widely quoted as saying: "If I were a Palestinian I would have joined a terrorist organisation." Barak also stated during a US television interview last year that he would "probably" strive for nuclear weapons if he were in Iran's position.
