The Land of the Settlers

The Land of the Settlers is a five-part documentary series created by Chaim Yavin, who was described by the Arab News as "the Israeli version of America's Walter Cronkite".

"[2] In Part 1, Yavin travels through the West Bank, inviting himself into the homes of both Israelis and Palestinians in order to get a highly personal look at the conflict.

Palestinians on line at a checkpoint complain to the camera that the four-hour wait they're enduring in the hot sun is common, while an Israel mother rants, "I think Jews that vote to evacuate us from our homes should come and talk to us.

PART 2 focuses on Hebron, Abraham's ancient home, a holy city where the Palestinian majority is held suspect and monitored by the heavily armed Israeli Defense Force, hinting at a strange role reversal of the Jewish population since the Second World War.

An Israeli mother shares the similarly disturbing story of watching her seven-year-old son run up to her covered in blood after having been shot by a sniper.

One Israeli official, nicknamed "the father of the fence," explains that they extended they boundary in order to make sure that guards have enough time to stop a person from crossing.
