This is a film made by a Palestinian activist Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval about the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers. I strongly recommend watching it; it won best documentary in the recent Oscars.

Mr Boyce'This is a film made by a Palestinian activist Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval about the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers'.You might find time to read this article which gives a much more historical and nuanced understanding of the issue depicted in this film.https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/no-other-land-isnt-what-it-seems/A long read true.But any aspect of the Israel-Palestine conflict needs more contextual evidence to understand it than the simplistic net trawling that is usually provided.I would be especially interested to read what Ms Holliday and Messrs Brigo, Carter and Ainsworth make of it.

The documentary shows the experience a community went through whilst their houses, farms, schools etc were being systematically demolished by the Israeli army. It's aimed at open, fair minded viewers interested in learning about different perspectives in this conflict. I guess you are not the target audience.

Are you too biased to find out for yourself?

Mr Boyce'This is a film made by a Palestinian activist Basel and Israeli journalist Yuval about the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers'.Sounds like a bundle of laughs.However I think I might watch old episodes of 'Only fools and horses' on iPlayer.I can probably sketch out the scenario without sitting through it."A harrowing tale of peaceful Palestinians going about their  daily lives and causing trouble to no one before being subject to attack by fanatical crazed Zionists and members of the IDF wishing to subject them to racist oppression and apartheid".Am I correct with this precis ?
