This guy's previous series of videos annoyed me, but I watched this one just the same. A few thoughts:
He doesn't think to analyze why Palestinians in Hebron (the part not occupied by settlements) view a Palestinian state as de facto existing, and Palestinians in the part of Hebron that is occupied, or in Tekoa, or in Bethlehem view Palestine as not being a de facto state? I would think that would be an interesting point of analysis
One of the people he interviews makes very clear that his idea of a "Free Palestine" is not the multiethnic secular democracy or the standard two state solution that the Guardian's Western audience presumably believe are the best solutions to the conflict, but one in which Israel does not exist and Israelis have been ethnically cleansed, and he just...doesn't follow up on that at all
Just in general a depiction of Israeli security measures as being designed to crush the spirit of Palestinians, and not because the Israeli military views them as necessary to prevent very real threats of violence against settlers or against Israel (and now this video has me defending the settler enterprise, which to be clear I do not support, I just think "they put up walls and checkpoints because they're meanies" is a stupidly disingenuous position that essentially every Western journalistic visit to the West Bank does)
Not of the video itself, but you better believe that the comment section is full of people being racist towards the settlers from Tekoa he interviews (their position might be....problematic at best, but that doesn't justify the bullshit that's being said about them)
