Found it utterly repugnant that the 'settlers', even one of their Rabbi, had the language and attitude of the Nazis.
I've been to the West Bank and saw enough to disturb me and know The Settlers programme was a true reflection of what is going on.

I watched it a few nights ago and found it very eye-opening in the worst possible way. The footage of the Palestinian shot in cold blood will stay with me forever- it was horrific to see the conditions these people are living under. And the settlers themselves were horrifyingly unsettling and completely without insight into how they are mirroring the Final Solution.
We should have more of this kind of television.

Forgive me if someone’s already posted a thread about this but what do people think about the Louis Theroux documentary The Settlers? I knew it would be uncomfortable viewing but have forced myself to watch it.
To see the sociopathic (his words) Daniella Weiss try to justify what’s happening in the West Bank and the settlers’ determination to enter Gaza was utterly chilling.
She smiles but her eyes are filled with evil. Theroux surpassed himself; he is so measured in his communication and simply allows his interviewees to expose themselves for what they are.
