Anyone watched the Louis Theroux documentary

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

No, no one is talking about people being better than others, show me where that's been said if so. It's just highlighting that Palestinians can be horrifically violent, it's not just Israeli settlers who are extremists

You did! You said there's comparatively no competition between pro- Israelis and Pro- Palestinians after you said pro-Palestinians are s whole new level of deranged! Stop acting like you didn't.

I see we have now moved on to gaslighting too.

Whatsinanamehey · 02/05/2025 09:21

I can see why LT looked so fed up and done in most of the documentary now.

The documentary was chilling and sometimes I think I live on another planet.

Glad I'm not the only one.

It depends who the news outlets are doesn't it. None if them are really that neutral. Take the BBC for example, isn't it accused of being too Israel? C4 News is accused of being too Gaza

Besides, he isn't even in the Israeli government anymore, is he?

Israeli finance minister Smotrich resigns from post as minister in government

this thread is about the documentary and when it was filmed he very much was a minister

I'll repeat this again for you. No one has said Israelis are better than Palestinians. I said in a comment yesterday regarding pro-Israel and Pro-Palestinian supporters in terms of their beliefs and actions as the 'deranged' comment was in direct response to a poster's opinions. So again, no one has said Israelis are better than Palestinians.

I'll highlight aswell that elsewhere on this board, in a thread you're also on, Jews were described as feral while the actions of Pro-Palestinians were ignored or glossed over.

True. Yet he's being discussed now as if he's still relevant. He's not.

Jews were not described as Feral. Stop lying, I was on the thread so do you not think I would know you ar lying? A mob harassing a lone woman were described as Feral - there was no mention of Jews or Israelis except from you.

knitnerd90 · 02/05/2025 09:36

He's finance minister again anyway. He reversed it 2 days later. In Israeli coalitions, ministers are always resigning or threatening to resign in order to extract something or other from the PM. Always check to see if they actually stayed quit.

Yes I saw that conversation, jews were not described as feral, a mob of riled up men attacking a lone woman in New York were described as having ‘gone feral’.

Some posters on here are not posting in good faith unfortunately.

Oh knock it on the head, she said there was “no comparison between” between the two, but she was t talking about the comparative inherent value of two races/nations, she was talking about behaviour. Which we can all agree or disagree with, but don’t twist it that she’s was saying “this group of people are all innately ‘better’ people than these other people”. She wasn’t.

I don't know why they lie so much or certainly twist or misrepresent the truth. It's done over and over again despite them being called out on it over and over again.

BottleBlondeMachiavelli · 02/05/2025 09:45

I don’t suppose there’s any hope of a normal level of discussion about the issues, without all this inter textual gubbins?

MyKingdomForACat · 02/05/2025 09:46

I watched it open-mouthed. The lovely Palestinian bloke who had to walk right round the block to get home after he’d been out with Louis. Still, you mustn’t criticise or you’re called an anti semite

I think the goal is to flood every thread and drown out any other conversation. On some threads the topic and surrounding conversation is completely ignored and the thread is filled with long posts by one poster repeating a single opinion no matter where the surrounding conversation goes (often just copying and pasting reams of content from elsewhere). It’s a tactic simply to frustrate meaningful exchange of opinion and drown out dissent.

Yes sorry.
I think it would have been interesting if he could have or still can interview the directors of the Oscar winning 'No other land'. To get both the Israeli and Palestinian insight of those working together from both sides to tackle this form of extremism.

I’m still waiting for @PollyPaintsFlowers to reply to my post from yesterday. It’d be interesting to hear from him/her.

Would you like me to find the post? It's very clear that the posters said the Jews were feral

And who were those men? You've seen the thread so you'll know. Maybe you can share the full context

Whatsinanamehey · 02/05/2025 09:57

Fwiw, I have family friends living in the occupied west bank and they said no matter how bad it gets they will not leave. They know the end goal of the settlers is to harass them so much that in the end they have no choice but to leave so they can take over the land. It's a very difficult life.
