Israel is a nuclear armed genocidal rogue state.
It is allowed to commit every war crime under the sun - armed and facilitated by the West.
Yet you hear so few people saying these truths on TV.

NEW: UK Government staff have been told to resign if they disagree with Labour's Israel policy.
It comes after 300 staff warned Labour are aiding 'the erosion of global norms' by supporting Israel despite law breaches

In this documentary, Theroux allows ultra-nationalist Israeli settlers to speak with perfect openness. It is chilling.
