What will the future of Israel look like? It was discussed in the episode of “In Half an Hour” that aired on October 15 on Rai3. In this context, the philosopher Bernard-Henry Levy mentioned the climate of unity that prevails in the Jewish state after the atrocities committed by Hamas on Saturday, October 7th.
“There is no longer left and right, there is no religious and secular, there is a common will to get rid of an Islamist terrorist group that oppresses the Palestinians and threatens the existence of Israel. There is no debate about that in Israel.”#BernardHenriLévy#InHalfhour @BHL pic.twitter.com/xGGDKOpx9s

“I watched the shock, the fear, the worst crime against the Jews since World War II,” Levy said afterwards from Paris. “And then I saw a patriotic impulse, a democratic and civil upheaval that I had not seen in Israel.” For a long time. There is no longer left and right, there is no longer religious and secular. There is a shared desire to get rid of an Islamist, neo-Nazi terrorist group that oppresses Palestinians and threatens Israel’s existence. In short: there are no debates in Israel at the moment.”
