The famous skill of Louis Theroux is to put his interviewees at ease, disarming them with a quiet,

inquisitive tone, and then letting them hang themselves. This is always made for compelling

viewing, but in his new documentary about Israel's illegal settlers, that skill brings out damning

and desperately important results. The BBC's coverage of Israel's genocidal onslaught against the Palestinian people has

overall been a binfire.

And it's unlikely that this documentary about these settlers could have been made without

Theroux's journalistic stature and reputation.

Now let's start with this clip featuring Daniela Weiss.

She is the far-right

leader of Israel's settlers who takes credit for the illegal settlements, which have been founded

all across the West Bank, which is illegally occupied by Israel, indeed subjected to the longest

belligerent occupation of anywhere on earth in modern times. There are estimated 700,000 Israeli settlers living in around 270

settlements. Let's have a listen. So the idea is to force the government by putting people,

starts with small settlements, then they get bigger, then they get recognized by the state of Israel,

and basically creating a new demographic reality.

We do not force a government.

We do for governments what they cannot do for themselves.

Even if you take Netanyahu now, he is very happy what we do here and also about our plans

to build Jewish communities in Gaza. He's happy about it, but he cannot say it. He says

the opposite. It's not realistic. Good! We will make it realistic.

It's not forcing the government.

It's helping the government.
