Great, balanced reporting of this conflict. In the face of incredible evidence, Louis Theroux and his team maintains impeccable ethics, standards and overall composure amid obvious conflict and multiple tests of character in a land so consumed with tension. I would elaborate on examples, but it's better to watch for yourself to understand the emotion on both sides and the reasons why such conflict emerges.
I would recommend this documentary to anyone open to understanding more about, not just this conflict, but the dynamics that lead this to be the source of so many of the worlds conflicts today.

Absolutely fascinating, genuinely..
My whole life I've heard about ideologies and how they move people, I was immensely surprised to watch events happen in front of me.
Banality of evil.
You watch how people believe that certain human beings are a lower form of life, that they do not even deserve it.
Then the philosophical question of "what is peace?" To the individuals in question, that is a hard egg to crack.
I was also fascinated with onlookers on a destroyed ravaged open air prison/grotto.
They actually take their children to watch destroyed homes... And I felt odd, because why would I bring my own child to watch where people have ceased to exit...
Actually, it also scared me.. I mean I live in a secure region but what if this happens to me? Woah.

Excellent work from Louie yet again, it shows what a lot of people would not know about. It is hard to watch at times due to the mind boggling brainwashed people that he interviews, they really are delusional, however Louie remains neutral like the professional he is whilst speaking with them. He made some humorous comments throughout the programme which lightened the mood on the hard hitting documentary.
It is a must watch for a better understanding of what's going on, what you will see is definitely not what you would see on our news stations. Get behind it and spread the word.
I'm surprised the BBC aired it, as it is definitely not on side with their agenda.

Louis Theroux delivers a quiet but devastating look at Israeli settlers in the West Bank. Through calm, persistent questioning, he exposes the fanaticism, state protection, and apartheid-like conditions driving the occupation-without ever needing to raise his voice.
Theroux's strength is letting people reveal themselves. Settlers speak openly about their religious and political motives, and the absence of judgment makes their extremism hit harder. The contrast between armed settlers and vulnerable Palestinians speaks volumes.
This is a disturbing, essential documentary-one of Theroux's most powerful.

Outstanding documentary. Louis and team - thank you. This is so needed at this time. Very disturbing ideology captured so rawly and allowing people to express their ridiculous views without interruption and dig holes for themselves.
His interview style is always a hit. I have no idea how he composes himself amongst religious fanatics. But it allows us insight into what these people are telling themselves.
Many people might claim this documentary is biased - I would challenge that narrative and ask people to read up on history. Please watch this before we lose it. This is the type of journalism this world so desperately needs.
