Background

Synopsis

In The Ultra Zionists, Louis Theroux interviews a group of ultranationalist Israelis at the border of advancing settlements in the West Bank.

He explores Israelis who consider it a religious imperative for them to settle in some of the most widely disputed areas of East Jerusalem, land legally recognized as part of Palestine under international law, especially areas with a spiritual significance set down in the Bible. One such individual he speaks with is Daniel Luria, a hardline nationalist from Australia, who works for Ateret Cohanim, an organization that aims to create a Jewish majority in East Jerusalem. [2]
