12:35Now PlayingFrom Tel Aviv, we hear from award-winning Israeli journalist and author Gideon Levy, whose recent column for _Haaretz_ is headlined "Israel Can't Imprison Two Million Gazans Without Paying a Cruel Price." Levy discusses the reaction within Israeli society toward Hamas's unexpected attack and condemns the Netanyahu government for only mobilizing for further warfare rather than providing effective assistance to victims. "Nobody is leading Israel," declares Levy, who also calls for Israel to lift its blockade of Gaza and accept that its campaign of eradicating Hamas is "impossible."
