I'm quite familiar with Levy as one of the signatories of the Manifesto. Believe me, Levy is part of a very small minority of European intellectuals in these beliefs.

I stand by my previous statement as a general observation, as I can find far more intellectuals in Europe that have been, and still are, excusing and defending totalitarian ideas.

And I'm still tired of being lectured on wars and morality by countries that have been hiding behind America's skirts for half a century while making loud pronunciations about how evil and violent America is.

Europe continues to display its utter impotence at dealing with the issues Levy and others raised in the Manifesto. Look at Iran for a good example.
