Why Louis Theroux is under-fire for 'anti-Israel' BBC documentary 'The Settlers'
Then there’s what Theroux chose not to include—or at least not to focus on. The most glaring omission, according to critics, is the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, in which 1,200 Israelis were killed and 250 taken hostage. The attack was a seismic event that reshaped Israeli security policies and amplified fears among settlers living in the West Bank. By largely glossing over it, the documentary is accused of ignoring a critical piece of context that explains why Israeli society—particularly its right wing—has hardened its stance on Palestinian threats.
