At last the Irish Times publishes some serious and tough coverage of Gaza. In the aftermath of the bombardments and invasion of July and August, Lara Marlowe was dispatched to the Strip. Marlowe is a veteran foreign and war correspondent, who has divided her time over the last number of years between writing as that paper's Paris correspondent, and covering Middle East wars. She writes with a sympathetic and clear eye.
Here she interviews Gideon Levy, a famous dissenting columnist at Ha'aretz, Israel's elite daily newspaper. Levy has become famous, or notorious, as one of Israel's most outspoken homegrown critics. He is a brave and honorable writer, and it's good to see Irish audiences introduced to him.
