Anyone watched the Louis Theroux documentary

[Ninerina]

I knew that things were bad for the Palestinians but after watching the documentary I'm so disgusted by the 'settlers' the government of Israel and especially Daniella Weiss.
Palestinians are referred to as savages and camel riders by a rabbi!
Will we get a chorus of how Louis Theroux is anti- semitic now? The usual battle cry of the Israel supporters

I was disgusted by it and I’m Jewish. It was awful to see. Well done to LT for making it. The bit where Weiss shoved him was awful; it speaks to his experience that he quickly copped on to what she was trying to do.

I found it distressing to watch. I can't even begin to imagine what life is like for Palestinians.

I thought Louis was incredibly brave. Daniella Weiss came across as unhinged and dangerous.

I found it quite disturbing despite being well aware of the reality for Palestinians in the occupied west bank. Seeing it in the raw was still stomach churning and a difficult watch. I still can't fathom who nominated Daniella weiss for the Nobel peace prize? Does anyone know? The women is the devil incarnate.

Danielle Weiss is an unhinged, genocidal maniac. Louis once again smashed it out of the park in terms of his style and ability to get people to say out loud what has been kept under wraps.

So depressing for the Palestinian people and it just shows you how religious extremism can lead to dreadful outcomes. Excellent yet depressing documentary.

I thought LT was so brave. And the IDF soldiers trying to hide their faces to look more intimidating. It was disgusting.

Tbf he didn't even have to try very hard, they were more than willing to divulge their disgusting prejudices and hate against the Palestinians without much prompting.

A quick Google reveals two professors from Israeli universities nominated Weiss for the Nobel peace prize. This definitely indicates the radical element is not limited to just the settlers.

I’m not aware anyone is accusing LT of being anti- Semitic. The chorus of people saying that is in your own imagination.

Where can I watch this please?

@twiglets1 you might want to read @Ninerina post again - they didn't say "we are getting a chorus" they were questioning whether there would be one.

Yeah but people nominate Donald Trump for a Nobel peace prize . You have to account for a percentage of crazy across the board.

I know but I haven’t heard anyone imply that LT is anti semitic and lots of people have seen the programme by now and discussed it even on this board.

@Ninerina I echo pp, where can I watch this please?

Glad other people are finally getting to see the truth!

The radical element is cemented in the Israeli Government too unfortunately.

Yes, this Is what i meant. The radical elements are not only confined to the extremist settlers but are increasingly found in other sections of society going all the way to the top in the leadership.

Yep, frightening and depressing.

It is possible to be an Israel supporter and be against the settlers. I think the documentary was excellent and the settlers are abhorrent. No I do not think LT is antisemitic.

I also, however, support Israel’s right to exist, believe it’s a conflict and not a genocide, and believe that people hold Israel to higher standard than anywhere else. I believe Hamas will continue to try and kill every Jew in the world and a condition of a ceasefire needs to be their surrender.

Is that ok or would you like to imagine some more things us pro-Israel lot might say and perhaps next time we can read off a script in order not to disappoint?

@stonecutter hmmm, those pesky infant Hamas members and their mothers eh?

Agree with this

Hello
It's on iPlayer
There are rumours it will get pulled as it doesn't serve the pro Israeli narrative so I'd watch it ASAP
I look back at all the horrific events of the past 18 months and I just wonder when it will stop
The babies in incubators left to starve to death, bombing hospitals, rioting for the right to rape prisoners, the Israeli mothers with babies in arms trying to block aid into Gaza and children having limbs amputated without anaesthetic and now this 2 month blockade of aid getting into Gaza at all
Children being snipered, children eating animal feed to try to stay alive
The horror goes on and on

Why does Louis Theroux keep picking on Israeli settlers?

Is this the bit where I say that all Palestinians are Hamas and that I wish to see the end of them all? Because I don’t recall saying that but if you’d prefer to continue your imaginary conversation then you’re very welcome to.
