He has referred to the construction of settlements on private Palestinian land as “the most criminal enterprise in [Israel’s] history”. He opposed the 2006 Lebanon War, and the view that civilian casualties were inevitable. In 2007, he said that the plight of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, then under Israeli blockade, made him ashamed to be an Israeli. “My modest mission is to prevent a situation in which many Israelis will be able to say ‘We didn’t know’,” said Levy in an interview.
