Sorry Mike - I really did not mean offence to you or anybody.
I came away from the film angry and saddened - tears as well.
The sight of uniformed and armed soldiers backing up an illegal eviction of villagers, even after the court had ruled it illegal still leaves me shaking.
It has become a State set on establishing itself as a singl ethnic one.
It was an ex-head of the Israeli security services who stated on camera last year that what was happening in Israel today was comparable with Nazi Germany (see The Gatekeepers)
I was raised in a family that fully supported the Israeli State; I am glad that those who spent time and energy actually fighting anti-Semitism (my Grandmother was prosecuted for throwing a stone at a Blackshirt at an open-air meeting), didn't live to see what Israel has become.
