Just finished watching it.
Just like the Oscar winning 'No Other Land' that was shown on Channel 4 recently, it gives a good insight into the mindset and ideology of the settlers (and police and army) that are ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Palestine. The settlers have the guns, the money, the access, the army and police and state (Ben Gvir and Smotrich prominent at the end) and have almost no restraints on them. The Palestinians have mobile phones and courage and a refusal to be driven away by violence and intimidation.
The main settler Yair does a very good Truthpaste impersonation. The Palestinains are just Arab squatters on land given to his Chosen People by their god three and a half thousand years ago as proven by words in the bible. That justifies the pogroms against them!
It also shows that there is opposition from within Israel - although it is a minority and less prominent than a few decades ago, whilst the Jewish diaspora's opposition to the Israeli regime, settlers and (sometimes) Zionist ideology has grown, especially in the USA.
It fits with the recent settler attack on the Palestinian co-director of 'No Other Land' Hamdan Ballal. He was severely beaten by settlers a week ago. The police arrived. The police arrested the victim Ballal and threw him in gaol overnight. Eventually international outrage helped to get him out. Eventually the Academy of Motion Pictures (the Oscars) produced a statement condemning the attack on Ballal and the Israeli state's actions (after initially refusing to name him). This is normal. This is the reality.

Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed by Israeli forces “one by one” and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said.
According to the UN humanitarian affairs office (Ocha), the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) and civil defence workers were on a mission to rescue colleagues who had been shot at earlier in the day, when their clearly marked vehicles came under heavy Israeli fire in Rafah city’s Tel al-Sultan district. A Red Crescent official in Gaza said that there was evidence of at least one person being detained and killed, as the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied.
The shootings happened on 23 March, one day into the renewed Israeli offensive in the area close to the Egyptian border. Another Red Crescent worker on the mission is reported missing.
“Seven days ago, civil defence and PRCS ambulances arrived at the scene,” the head of Ocha in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, said in a video statement. “One by one, [the paramedics and civil defense workers] were hit, they were struck. Their bodies were gathered and buried in this mass grave.
“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer – Israeli forces bulldozer – has buried them.”
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said that one of its employees was among the dead found in Rafah.
“The body of our colleague killed in Rafah was retrieved yesterday, together with the aid workers from [the Palestinian Red Crescent] – all of them discarded in shallow graves – a profound violation of human dignity,” Lazzarini wrote in a social media post.

A 17-year-old boy from the West Bank who was held without charge for six months in an Israeli prison died after he collapsed in unclear circumstances, Palestinian officials have said.
According to his family, Walid Ahmad was “a healthy high schooler” at the time of his arrest last September for allegedly throwing stones at Israeli soldiers.
The family believes Walid contracted amoebic dysentery from the poor conditions in the prison, an infection that causes diarrhoea, vomiting and dizziness – and can be fatal if left untreated.
-
More than 14,000 Palestinians have been detained by the Israeli army in the West Bank since the Hamas attack in Israel in October 2023, according to Palestinian figures. Most of those detained are held in administrative detention, which allows for the pre-emptive arrest of individuals based on undisclosed evidence.
-
Walid is the 63rd Palestinian prisoner from the West Bank or Gaza to die in Israeli custody since the start of the war and the first Palestinian teenager to die in Israeli detention, according to the Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the West Bank.

Some of the bodies of 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, killed by Israeli forces and buried in a mass grave nine days ago in Gaza, were found with their hands or legs tied and had gunshot wounds to the head and chest, according to two eyewitnesses.
The witness accounts add to an accumulating body of evidence pointing to a potentially serious war crime on 23 March, when Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance crews and civil defence rescue workers were sent to the scene of an airstrike in the early hours of the morning in the al-Hashashin district of Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city.

Israel to expand military operation and seize 'large areas' of Gaza. Was only a matter of time, I suppose.

The United Nations agency for children says that at least 322 children are reported to have been killed since Israel launched a renewed offensive in Gaza two weeks ago.
Unicef said at least 609 other children were reportedly wounded during the same period.

The pro-Israel camp have been very quiet on here as of late. Hmmm...
Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
A survivor from a massacre of Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers in Gaza has said he saw Israeli troops open fire on a succession of Red Crescent ambulances and rescue vehicles and then use a bulldozer to bury the wreckage in a pit.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...medic-killings
The depravity of this regime, and the collusion of the USA, UK, Germany etc - continuing to provide arms, money, diplomatic cover and repeating the sick talking points of Netanyahu and his fascist ministers - is unbelievable. Up is down. Right is wrong. The 'victims' are the perpetrators of war crimes, and new born babies are 'terrorists'. I know who the terrorists are.... and they are armed to the teeth and have the full backing of Donald Trump.

You can argue that The Israeli Military are equal to Hamas or even worse but the wording above seems to suggest that Hamas aren't terrorists? Unless Trump has changed his mind on them, which isn't entirely impossible!
Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
Most of the Western media of course are not helping by completely ignoring these atrocities. What’s going on there then, I wonder?

No doubt the Palestinians are to blame for the latest depraved atrocity against themselves - that is what they usually offer up.

The western media were allowed in to witness them which hasn't happened before without IDF enabling. The sentiments may be genuine - who knows - but the events appear to be staged.
