Louis Theroux: The Ultra Zionists BBC2
9:00pm - 10:00pm Thursday 03 February Louis Theroux visiting the West Bank almost sounds like a joke. But shelve any scepticism as this works superbly. Meeting extremist Jewish settlers in areas that are Israeli-occupied but (according to international law) Palestinian by rights, he reveals the bizarre details of life in towns where day-to-day scuffles, stone throwing and name-calling between Arabs and Jews are such a fact of life, they're almost ritualised into a sinister game. If that sounds like trivialising the issue, he really doesn't: Theroux's observational style reveals more about the intractable human reality than a dozen po-faced news reports.
