  • Theroux: "I wanted to show that the army was policing the Israeli extremists, and instead of just showing extremist views we could show that the ones reining them in were the Israeli military.

    "But I think I overestimated that. They let settlers do what they want. I was shocked and disappointed by that. I didn't realise to what extent the state encouraged settlers."

  • The BBC has had to backtrack after it sent out an incorrect publicity notice describing hard-line Zionists featured in a Louis Theroux film as "possibly the biggest threat to world peace today".

    A BBC spokesperson said: "This billing for The Ultra Zionists did not reflect the programme accurately. As soon as the mistake was brought to our attention, we rectified the situation by replacing it with the correct billing."

    Lol, okay.

  • @gangstervural I guess, I mean Israel is a secular state.

  • @ClickForOutkast

    But they can also count as a religious group, right?

  • @gangstervural Jews are considered an ethnic group, not a religious grop.

  • Atrocities justified with lesser atrocities that are justified with lesser atrocities that are justified with lesser atrocities that are justified with lesser atrocities that are justified with lesser atrocities... just like racism.

    Couldn't they just forgive and stop with the generalizations?

  • @andyandcarl

    Ah, okay. I believe you if you say so xD
