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 don't believe you. That is not the sort of thing I have ever seen them say.

They were referring to a group of Jewish men.

Honestly, the way Pro-Palestinians will try and twist themselves to find dismissals or excuses they could be contortion artists 😂

How would you know when they only have one post on this thread?

Yes to all this

I’ve already responded to this question just a few posts up, which you’ve ignored:

”Describing a group of men who are jewish and who are mobbing and attacking a young woman as behaving in a feral way is a completely different statement to saying ‘jews are feral’.

Which if you have more than 2 brain cells doesn’t need pointing out.

Trying to weaponise that statement to misrepresent, discredit and demonise someone whose posts you don’t like is pretty sinister.”

Earlier today you stated:

”Palestinians in the West Bank stab their babies in their cots and mow children down at bus stop”

This is an example of demonising a group of people. By contrast, it wasn’t necessary to paraphrase your post.

The post that was deleted was by @PollyPaintsFlowers so what are you talking about?

Incase you missed it already which it seems like you have from your replies @Twiglets1

Sorry, because this specific group of men who were mobbing and attacking a young woman were jewish men, any negative characterisation of their behaviour equates to antisemitism?

Your repeated, relentless contention throughout these threads that Palestinian solidarity protesters are violent and aggressive towards counter-protesters is largely why such behaviour by these counter-protesters was highlighted.

And the poster clearly did say what's wrong with saying they are better than Palestinians and then followed it up with examples to prove why. If you all think that's ok to do then I have nothing left to say.

He is still a minister, the resignation appeared orchestrated. Smotrich returned to the government a few days later.

At 9.17 today you responded to @PollyPaintsFlowers saying “No one is talking about people being better than others, show me where that’s been said if so”.

You replied “You did!”

A group of Jewish men were described as feral and it's somehow my fault? 😂

And as on other threads, you are again attempting to derail the thread from the topic – Lewis Theroux’s documentary on Settlers – to focus instead on your prejudice against Palestinian solidarity protesters.

Incoherent and bad faith.

I'm done with this. If you don't believe me that the poster did say that then that's fine. I'm not arguing over it anymore.

I credit MNers with enough sense to know that just because it was Palestinians that did those things not all Palestinians are like that. Just like all the Israeli settlers aren't like the ones in the LT programme

For anyone who is actually interested about the documentary and how Palestinians are treated in the west bank then the check points are a nightmare. You have a doctors appointment that should be a 20 minute journey but you have to leave a couple of hours in advance because you don't know which IDF soldiers is going to be at the checkpoint that day and some of them will hold you up for hours for no reason given except they are in a bad mood that day or they get a kick out of it.

It's what you said 🤷‍♀️

But surely, post 2 intifadas and 7 October, you understand why checkpoints must be there? I wouldn't say at any point there is 'no reason'.

Those increased restrictions only came into force after the second Intifada when Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up on Israeli buses and threw grenades into busy restaurants.

Since the checkpoints there's been far, far less Palestinian terror attacks inside Israel (until 7/10)

There's still terror attacks by Palestinian terrorists at the checkpoints every few weeks, but there's been no suicide attacks or grenade attacks in Israel's interior

It's a regular occurrence where soldiers will abuse their powers and not let Palestinians through check points for hours if they don't like them. These are lived experiences, they are often abused there too.

I'm not talking about why checkpoints are there, I'm talking about the regular abuse of power especially by younger IDF soldiers on Palestinians who are trying to pass through the checkpoints.

I don't doubt that.

There is obviously so much hatred on both sides that there's bound to be a lot of friction at bottlenecks.

Still necessary to have the check points though.

Perhaps when both sides have leadership that would prefer talking to violence everyone's lives will improve.

To be fair, they did say this.

Responding to a poster calling out expressions of superiority over Palestinians, the poster’s response was along the lines of:

’Actually I do feel comfortable saying I am superior to people who do X, Y, and Z [list of violent acts]’
