Good point.

Here is who Daniel Levy is:

He was formerly an Israeli negotiator as part of the Taba summit and Oslo 2 peace process. He is current president of the U.S./Middle East Project (USMEP) and was among the founders of the organization J Street. So, you know, not some random guy.

Here are some links:

• Interview at +972
• Lovely in depth interview at Novara
• Briefing at the UN Security Council
• And here he is on AlJazeera, and DemocracyNow

My rationale for focusing on Levy is that this is a person who has first-hand experience with Israeli politics, with the Oslo process, engages with the anti-apartheid Palestinian, Israeli and Western left, and is knowledgeable of US, British and Jewish diaspora politics. His vision for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is focused in a dignified, equitable peace through a two-state solution, grounded in international law and mutual respect for the rights of all individuals involved.

In a world where reason, compassion and universal human rights were the rule, Daniel’s approach would be the absolute minimum baseline for any discussion about a resolution. There is objectively nothing unreasonable or radical in his vision. But in this timeline? He’s labelled an unreasonable far-left extremist, and only consistently platformed by the likes of DemocracyNow and Novara.

So, there. He also happens to have a velvety radio voice, so, enjoy :)
