Gideon Levy on a Gaza film gives Owen Jones a tenfold start
The Haaretz columnist's appearance on the British commentator's independent channel is outrunning a typical day for the whole channel, and the title never names the film.

Israel Is PANICKING Over Gaza Film - Courageous Israeli Journalist Gideon Levy Explains Why
Close to 150,000 people have already watched Owen Jones talk with Gideon Levy, and the video has been up for only a day. That is roughly ten times the first-day pace a new upload on his channel usually sets.
On its own, this single interview is also moving faster than Jones' entire channel does on an ordinary day, and that channel already has a large back catalog of interviews and commentary.
The title is "Israel Is PANICKING Over Gaza Film - Courageous Israeli Journalist Gideon Levy Explains Why." It promises Levy's account of why a film about Gaza has caused alarm in Israel, but neither the title nor the one-line description says which film. Levy, a longtime columnist for the Israeli daily Haaretz, has spent decades writing about Palestinian life under occupation. That work has made him one of the best-known dissenting voices in Israeli journalism.
Jones made his name as a Guardian columnist and as the author of "Chavs." His channel's about page describes it as independent, a place to "give a platform to the unheard," and adds that it is "not as dry as it sounds (hopefully!)."
