It looks like the only way to see "Louis Theroux- The Settlers" is through BBC's iPlayer now (or through a VPN apparently).
There's also Louis first video about Jewish settlers in the West Bank, "The Ultra Nationalists" from 2011 (which may or may not have been posted here already, but is known about). He's currently working on his next BBC documentary called "Netherlands", where he interviews an expanding group of Israeli settlers identified as ultra nationalists.
There's a lot more in this video but I just wanted to focus on this section starting at 34:48.
On a winery on Palestinian land, a Jewish man owns a grape orchard and small winery that is considered illegal by the international community. A "small army" of mostly American volunteers picks the grapes, as Martin from Colorado describes it, as "a labour of love for the nation of Israel and for the people here, to see that they prosper in the West Bank and help them fulfill their prophetic calling that's on this land".
An American woman gives her reason as to why she is there.
"It's about acting out the love that we have. The Bible talks about not just loving 'in word' but also 'in deed' and in 'actions'. And so when you pick a vine and a cluster of grapes and you get to hold them in your hands it's like, it's like you're a part of prophecy, you're part of scripture. You are part of the promises that God has made."
One of the young American volunteers expressed his desire to join the IDF only because the Jews were the "chosen people", which he never always believed but is something that he is "coming into, just with the revelation of being here."
When Louis asks the owner if the volunteers mind that they are not allowed to enter the winery because they are not kosher, he answers "No. They want to serve us." When asked if he thought it was a bit strange that the Americans wanted to come and serve him, he thought it was at the beginning but that he could understand it because through the 'gift of service' they redeem themselves. Louis comments that, for the volunteers, asks if their motivation is spiritual but that if they know it's also political. "Less. Less. They don't come on the political side."
This section was so bizarre and creepy for me. What are they really working for? Yesterday I also watched the other "Settlers" video back-to-back and thought about the messiah that they are expecting to show up. If the conduct and actions of the 'chosen people' in any way mirror the being of their messiah, then that is one evil tyrant.
