Israel and the Palestinians: The Road to 7th October

Perhaps the worst thing about the grim tragedy of the last coule of years in Israel and Gaza is how predictable it was; in the eastern Mediterranean, it sometimes seems things can only get worse. This documentary charts the two decades without progress prior to the 2023 eruption. The politicians interviewed, on all sides, are quite frank (perhaps their only virtue), and thus it's hard to see the story as one of great chances unfortunately squandered; when both sides want all the land, the result is going to be terrible, particularly for the weaker party. The level of access gained by the production team is impressive; sadly, the interviewees are mostly men inadequate for the moment they live in.
