Israeli columnist says government policy aims to 'kill Arabs'

A prominent Israeli columnist told The Anadolu Agency that the Israeli government's intent is not to protect the country's civilians.

A sharp critic of the government, Gideon Levy, a long-time columnist from the Haaretz daily newspaper, says the policy has only one goal: to kill Arabs.

“Since the first Lebanon war more than 30 years ago, the killing of Arabs has become Israel’s primary strategic instrument. Arabs are born only to kill and to be killed, as everyone knows. They have no other goal in life, and Israel kills them,” Levy said in an interview with AA.
