So the Jews are the chosen, and superior to the Palestinians........

Quite similar to the views of a certain German in relation to a particular ethnicity.

The stupidity of humans is truly unmatched.

Indeed.

I'm profoundly sympathetic to the views of both sides.

They're equally fked, in terms of their entrenched positions, sadly.

I don't know if I can find sympathy for either side, they both seem completely deranged.

I do admire Louis Theroux though, always smooth and calm whilst delivering some really difficult and probing questions

I've always thought of LT as bright, but something of a manipulator beneath his benign facade.

He does, though, seem to be packing a reasonable pair, given this piece.

I think that's why he gets away with a lot of the questions he asks in his docs. I don't think it's a malicious thing, I think he just knows what to ask, when to ask it and when to say nothing at all.

Very good at what he does imo!

Not sure what to make of it all, it's always nice to see the other side but don't forget we're dealing with extremes here. That Daniel guy was in terrible denial though about the things he was doing.

I think Louis is better when he avoids political things like that and finds freaks to interview.

The concept of 'chosen people' within Judaism has nothing to do with racial superiority, but rather is a description of the relationship between God and Jews.

His next line was that Jews are superior to Palestinians.

Before this gets out of hand please just consider the title of the documentary. "Ultra Zionists"

As a Jew he doesn't speak for me nor many other millions of Jews around the world or in Israel for that matter.

Let's be careful not to use labels.

Well that's alright then.... rolleyes

Apartheit regimes are so deeply unattractive and Israel appears to be digging a deep hole into which it must eventually fall.

Apartheid - an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.
A religion is not a race.

According to the United Nations the term "racial discrimination" means any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. This definition does not make any difference between discrimination based on ethnicity and race.

It seems whatever side holds the power, they will treat the others as sub-human. The treatment of jews in 1920s/30s Arabia was equally, if not more, repulsive.

The mentality in that part of the world seems to be 'oppress or be oppressed' and neither party is willing to see a middle ground.

fking mental, especially those American tourists!

"The Jews are the chosen people" - I don't know much about religion but wasn't Jesus a Jew and all his followers were initially Jews and therefore they are the same people?
