In this provocative documentary, Louis Theroux travels to the West Bank to meet Jewish settlers living in some of the most controversial and politically sensitive areas.

    The hatred Israel now feels from the world isn't irrational. It's earned revulsion of a species watching its worst impulses condoned and funded in broad daylight. Israel is no longer viewed as a misunderstood nation under siege — it's now seen for what it is: a fascist project with apocalyptic tendencies.

      Agreed! No one has done more to hurt the image of Israel world wide than the current avoidable actions of the IDF and Israeli government.

      "Israel is no longer viewed as a misunderstood nation under siege "
      Newsflash, Israel has never been viewed as a nation (country) under siege, for generations, Jews have been irrationally hated.
      Curiously, why did the Romans kill and expel Jews from Israel (Judea) almost two thousand years ago? Were the Jews committing genocide then?

              @DogGunn: His comments are buried in a collapsed thread, but OK, look, racists exist and should be called out.

              I take issue with what dumdum is implying - that criticism of Israel is really just antisemitism.

              When Israeli propaganda revolves around conflating Judaism with Zionism, Nationhood with an Ethno-State, and self defence with Genocide, it's not surprising that people are going to make dumb generalisations.

                @RecklessMonkeys: Can you tell me something?

                How many Hamas fighters do you think have died in this war? Hamas officially reports none, all deaths are civilians. Very smart Aussies repeat Hamas figures like they really understand the conflict.

                The fact that there are always so many mask off comments tells me that people wouldn't be so willing to immediately believe this is all just a genocide in response to October 7 if Jews weren’t involved.

                They would feel the same way as they feel about Myanmar or Sudan. They'd feel nothing and they wouldn't know or care. Jews bring a passion to assume all negative propaganda is completely true.

                  @dumdum2: Genocide is genocide regardless of the perpetrator. You're awfully close to arguing that 'Jews' should be allowed to commit genocide because other conflicts haven't garnered the same publicity.

                  Every aid organisation is calling this genocide. But you only need to listen to the Israeli government for confirmation. Their own words condemn them.

                    @RecklessMonkeys: It's telling that you can't answer such a simple question. Are you worried that this wouldn't look like a genocide if it turned out half the casualties are militants from an organisation recognised as a terrorist group by Australia? Since you know so much about this conflict, you must have some idea of the numbers, right?

                    Nobody has the right to commit genocide. Everyone has the right to self-defence against terrorist groups sworn to their destruction.

                      @dumdum2: The only thing that worries me is your ferverance in defending the indefensible.
                      Denying children food and water en masse is not self defense, no matter what warped spin you will now try to put on it.
                      Genocide is about intent, and that is apparent in spades.

                      If you want numbers then bloody well look it up yourself. You'll just reject what I tell you anyway.

                        @RecklessMonkeys: Hamas has warehouses full of food that they are selling to Gazans at top dollar to raise funds for their group. Recently they shot multiple Gazans who tried to raid a warehouse? Did you know that, or is that like the casualties in this war, another fact you wouldn't touch with a 50 foot pole?

                                @Dreamcast: What do you think Zionism is, since you think it's the most evil thing ever?

                                It is literally just the desire to create a state that protects Jewish human rights. Holocaust survivors migrated to the only place they could go. Palestinians were against any Jewish immigration and got violent about it, but always lost every war they started. If they didn’t get so violent, Zionism could have been a joint Arab and Jewish state, which Ben Gurion supported until he realised Palestinians would never agree.

                                  @dumdum2: I have no issue with Jews and the creation of Israel. Fair game. They were the stronger force in 1948. If they took over and said tough luck our country now and our law, fair enough.

                                  Though why did they need to force people out their homes?? Why couldn't the Palestinians be allowed to live in their current homes???

                                  If the aboriginals were able to do the same thing and kicked you out of your home and treated you like a sub human, you'd be kicking and screaming for the rest of your life.

                                  This has nothing to do with a Jewish state. Orthodox Jews openly say it's not their land. The land was not taken for the Jews, rather it was taken under the pretence of such by Arab hating Zionists.

                                  This whole story of Arabs wanting to kill the Jews first is getting old. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived peacefully in that land.

        • Randolph Duke on 03/07/2025 - 23:02

          “Suddenly”

          Christ. The Jewish people have been oppressed and lies/propaganda told about them for centuries. That doesn’t mean Israel’s response to Oct 7 is reasonable or criticism of their response is antisemitism. They were well justified to respond. They’ve delivered that and then some.

          I struggle to understand how Israel’s treatment of Palestinian’s in Gaza is that far removed from what happened to Jews though out Europe.

            @Randolph Duke: Yes the Jews have been oppressed for generations, but there has been a recent spike (just look at university campuses across the US, and even here in Australia).
            I believe that everyone is free to criticise a country or government, however for some reason with Israel it's innocent Jews all over the world getting harassed and attacked in the streets for no reason other than being visibly Jewish. I'm not sure how that qualifies as being anti Zionist.
            Just look at some of the comments on this post which have clearly spilt over from being anti-Israel to anti-Semitic.

            Israel removed all Jews and governance from Gaza in 2005. Instead of investing and possibly creating a ln ideal beachside holiday destination, Hamas (who were voted in by the Gazan people) spent billions of dollars of aid money building a network of terror tunnels and using schools and hospitals and their military bases.

            I'm tired of hearing the "appropriate response" line. Israel has a duty to its people to ensure Hamas never attacks them again. Hamas shouldn't be starting wars it can't finish, they cry to the world that they're victims of genocide (which they're clearly not btw).

            @DogGunn: israelis admit that its mandatory for all of them to join idf and train in the army after they reach a certain age, and the first training they have to do is to go attack and harass innocent Palestinians in the middle of the night and kidnap children for a while without an explanation.

      I got a mate who works at the ABF and he confirmed they have been a large spike since the ceasefire with Iran. So they're leaving their promise lands to their origin countries (Europe, US, and Australia) 😂😂

      Easily to spot them, if they're not holding their Israeli passports or have an accent / wear visible clothing that shows they're Israelis..ask them what's their views on Palestine 😂😂

    • Bugs Bunny on 03/07/2025 - 11:36

      Yes. Just slap them; if they hit you back harder, they might be Israeli. Then you get to cry to the world that they're committing genocide on you!

        Said from the comfort of you cosseted keyboard. Netanyahu's attitude is that killing thousands of woman and children is justifiable collateral damage, as were the hostages, because as you know (???) he was well aware of the tunnels and arms build-ups. He needed justification to wipe out civilisation in Gaza. His govts policies on occupied lands and complete failure to rein in settlers in many areas OUGHT to give you a clue as to his mentality even if you know nothing about his history. A few hours reading that history might help you get some perspective, although for some reason I very much doubt that.

        I wonder if you'd have the same response if the boot was on the other foot and (say) Iran was militarily superior and bombing the sh!t out of settlers and illegal occupiers? Rhetorical question.

    Great post, really insightful documentary into the settlements.

    Highly recommend reading these articles for more information if interested in Jewish perspectives on the historical, political and mental origin of the settlements.

    (Long insights below for further expansion; you can skip this if you want or read it after reading the linked articles)

    It's important to also understand that the birth of modern Israel draws heavily upon the rise of modern Europe in terms of national consciousness.

    There's a shared sense of divine right and being born to rule alongside the legitimacy of conquest to build a nation; especially from the 1800s onwards in parts of the European Jewish diaspora (unlike the Palestinians who hadn't started thinking in that way of themselves as a nation until the 1900s).

    Another consequence of the Holocaust was the death of heroic Mensch culture in favour of the conquerer Sabra mentality. In the post-war period, Holocaust survivors were looked down upon as 'soaps' and 'freiers'; suckers who shamefully didn't fight back because they thought their great war heroism for the Kaiser would save them. Never Again!

    It became a virtue to conquer and the Israeli paramilitant pre-war violence of self-declared terrorist groups like Lehi & Irgun were legitmised; the leaders of both groups involved in plotting and planting bombs in civilian hotels became Prime Ministers of Israel with Shamir and Begin.

    The focus on conquest has meant that the military and militarism is a key part of Israeli political life even amongst less conservative elements. The birth of Israel at all costs led to it covertly planting bombs in neighbouring Middle Eastern states and endangering the lives of the until then somewhat well integrated Levant Jewish population, all for the sake of pushing them to move to Israel and strengthen it.

    The settlements started out as an eccentric religious expansion of this under Meir who rationalised conquest including the use of chemical weapons to expel Palestinians under the lens that Palestinians didn't think of themselves of a nation until the 1900s so as such, Palestinians don't exist unlike the Israelis who thought of themselves as a nation first.

    The settlements rapidly expanded after this when conservatives realised the settlements were attractive to young, otherwise progressive Israelis given they were dirt cheap compared to the cities and turned the youth conservative as they would come in conflict with the Palestinians who were kicked of where the settlements were built.

    This helped Bibi gain and retain power to the point where the conquest became "mowing the grass" and a means of testing weapons for export on agitated Palestinians.

    Given the settlements served as affordable housing for each new generation of Israelis, this meant Bibi's Israel became increasingly conservative to the point where militant Kahanists like Ben-Ari in the video who were previously banned from running individually or as entire parties now formed government with Bibi.

    Even the Middle Eastern states in the pursuit of economic power started making moves to sign due to this and their skepticism of Palestine as a threat to their countries with potential claims to territory and historic militarisation in Jordan & Lebanon.

    Then came October 7th as a quasi-Vietcong offensive meant to make "mowing the grass" unviable and strongarm Israel to achieve permanent withdrawal as well as overturning Middle Eastern normalisation.

    Releasing the hundreds of hostages including dozens of active Israeli military personnel considered more valuable by Israel in exchange for Palestine's future imprisoned leadership like Marwan Barghouti was assumed to be Israel's preferred choice instead of full mobilisation with more Israeli military and civilian deaths.

    LBJ up to this point was all the way but stopped here whereas Bibi went all in.

    TLDR: Israel's birth was inspired by the European Jewish diaspora looking at the birth of European nationalism as conquest. The heroic Jews who stayed and died were looked down upon as losers. Modern Israel attacked the neighbouring Jews to get them to flee to Israel. The settlements moved from weirdos to a key part of Israel when conservatives realised it cheap houses would help them win young voters. Things got so normal the neighbouring states wanted to sign with Israel for money. Hamas did October 7 to trade hostages for withdrawal and to stop the neighbours signing with Israel.
