Élisabeth Lévy

In 2021, after Camille Kouchner accused her step-father, Olivier Duhamel, of incest, Lévy critiqued the publication of the name of the street on which Duhamel lived, comparing this to a call to lynching and an "appetite for the guillotine".

In 2020, she criticised public attention and new prosecutorial investigations into the misdeeds of the pedophile writer Gabriel Matzneff, noting that prosecution is not possible and that he was by then "an elderly, sick and broke writer".

In 2019, she said the Loi Gayssot, punishing holocaust denial, does not prevent it, and establishes the idea that there is a legal privilege for the Jews and creates an inflation of memorial laws, while also making clear that she views anti-Zionism as a screen for antisemitism and that she considers that holocaust denial "should be fought through history".

In October 2013, she published a petition in favor of prostitution called the Manifesto of the 343 bastards, in Causeur to fight against the proposals of law aiming to penalize clients of prostitution, with the slogan Touche pas à ma pute.

Previous guests included Jean Baudrillard, accused by Bruno Latour of denying the Attacks of 11 September and Peter Sloterdijk, whose speech and philosophy has been described, in 1999, as "fascistoid" by the Frankfurter Rundschau, though other publications disagreed. In 2007, she specializes also into interviewing controversial authors form the French Nouveaux réactionnaires ('new reactionaries'), not to be confused with the Neo-reaction as Maurice Dantec, Philippe Muray, with whom Lévy wrote Festivus Festivus, or Michel Houellebecq. She is included among the list of 'new reactionaries' featured in a documentary by Aude-Emilie Judaïque and Gilles Davidas.

President of the Fondation du 2-Mars, founded by Philippe Cohen, formerly known as the Fondation Marc Bloch, it is forced to change its name on April 11, 2000 following a court decision: Étienne Bloch, the son of historian Marc Bloch, had taken legal action to prohibit the foundation from referring to the name of his father.
