Bernard-Henri Lévy: Tunisia Faces the Return of the “Philosopher of Destruction”

From Libya to Tunisia – The Return of a Controversial Figure Accused of Undermining State Security.

Watan-The name Bernard-Henri Lévy, the controversial French-Jewish philosopher, has returned to the Arab political scene—this time in Tunisia—after he was convicted in a case involving “conspiring against state security.” Lévy, long known by the nickname “Godfather of Chaos,” has never merely been a free thinker or independent intellectual. His name has often been tied to the dismantling of states and the sowing of discord under the pretense of supporting “revolutions” and “human rights.”

Arabs first came to know him during the Libyan revolution, when he was among the first Western figures to appear alongside leaders of the Transitional Council. At the time, it was said he played a key role in convincing French President Nicolas Sarkozy to carry out a military intervention—an action that paved the way for the collapse of the Libyan state and the spread of chaos.

His track record didn’t end there. He has appeared in Ukraine, Kurdistan, and Afghanistan—carrying a camera instead of a gun, yet proving to be more dangerous than any weapon. His writings, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes involvement in Western decision-making have been tools for exporting “systematic destruction.”

Lévy’s Trail of Chaos Returns to Tunisia

In Gaza, Lévy has openly shown blind support for the Israeli occupation, fiercely defending Israel during its assaults while attacking Palestinians from the heart of Paris—completely disregarding the justice of their cause or the war crimes committed.

Now the story resumes in Tunisia. His previous visit sparked street protests, with many Tunisians viewing his presence as a threat to national security and part of suspicious foreign schemes. Today, after Tunisian authorities reopened the case against him, the same questions rise again: Who is backing Lévy? And why does no Arab country escape his visits without ending up with refugees, dead, or destroyed?

In an age of murky wars, perhaps the most dangerous warriors are not those who carry weapons—but those who wield pens that speak the language of Washington and Tel Aviv.
