Very often you will find that alot of documentaries on Israel and Palestine have been suppressed in some way or another. For instance, when Al Jazeera produced their undercover investigative documentary ‘The Lobby’ (2017) about the Israeli lobby in the UK and in the USA - this series was prevented from being aired at all in the USA. But if there is someone who really should see this series, it is the Americans. And of course anyone living in the UK, France, Germany and the rest of Europe.
But the reason why particularly Americans should see this series is because of the way American society seems to be an eternal election campaign driven by and dependent on money. Money that Israeli lobbyists provide. Money that makes USA support Israel no matter what. US money provided to Israel which they in turn use to buy even more US politicians and people in power. A huge corruption and money-laundering scheme, perpetuating the existence of an apartheid state and enabling their horrific genocide and ethnic cleansing of millions of Palestinians. "We the People". Right.
So just ask yourself - how is it even possible and allowed that a foreign state can be exercising so much influence over and inside your own country? If Russia or China was doing something similar - would there not be any counter-measures? Here is ´The Lobby’:
The Lobby - USA: Episode 1 - The Covert War (2017)
The Lobby - USA: Episode 2 - Managing Elites (2017)
The Lobby - USA: Episode 3 - The Witch Hunt (2017)
The Lobby - USA: Episode 4 - Marketing Occupation (2017)
The next two documentaries I would like to direct your attention towards are both very damning documentaries on the fanatical illegal settlers that operate within the occupied territories.
As a background you should know that the occupation started in 1967, and immediately extreme religious zionists started driving away arabs from within their own land. The settlers were 10,000 in numbers by 1972, by 1993 they numbered 270,000, by 2005 they numbered 425,000; in 2018 they were 645,000 and today (2023) they are more than 750,000!
The most influential of these fanatical settlers was, and still is, the american-born extremist militant ‘rabbi’ Meir Kahane (1932-1990); the founder of the terrorist Kach party who set up shop in Israel in the 1970´s and whose racist ideology, kahanism, is rampant in Israeli society today.
As the settlements have grown, so have their influence on Israeli society. Today, these people are even in government - and two of the many, many settler ministers in Israel´s government are settlers themselves from Hebron - the center of kahanism. Both the Minister of Security (!) Itamar Ben-Gvir (b. 1976) and the Minister of Settlements (!) Orit Strook (b. 1960) are from this extremist hub in Hebron, where Meir Kahane used to live.
The two documentaries in question are PBS Frontline´s ‘Israel´s Next War?’ (2005) and Micha Peled´s ‘Inside God´s Bunker’ from 1994. The PBS Frontline documentary is available on YouTube, but you will have to log in to see it. A transcript of the program is available over at pbs.org.

The other documentary - which is a must watch - is called ‘Inside God´s Bunker’. Here, Micha Peled documented the extremist settler society of Hebron at a crucial point in time - right before and right after the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in 1994, perpetrated by the american-born extremist and mass-murderer Baruch Goldstein (1956-1994). Baruch Goldstein is highly venerated by the religious zionist settler fanatics even today; the Hero of influential kahanist politicians like Baruch Marzel (b. 1959) and former Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari (b. 1963). The current Minister of Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, himself an extremist settler from Hebron, for a long time displayed Goldstein´s portrait in his living room. I have not been able to find a full version of Peled´s documentary anywhere online, but there are some excerpts available on YouTube:

At the end of this excerpt you will hear the hateful jewish extremist settler children, who must now be married adult men in their 40s with up to 10-12 children each; brought up just like themselves, cheerfully singing:
All the World hates the Arabs
And the main thing is to kill them one by one
With these feet I stepped on my enemy
With these teeth I bit his skin
With these lips I sucked his blood
And I still haven´t had enough revenge
