Issa Amro, a Palestinian activist featured in a Louis Theroux documentary about West Bank settlers, has reported a raid on his home by Israeli soldiers. He stated the raids were perceived as retaliation for his media exposure. During the incident, Israeli settlers also entered his home, causing damage and stealing items. Amro emphasized in the documentary that Israeli settlements are illegal under international law and that Palestinians often face dehumanization. His activism highlighted the power dynamics in the West Bank, particularly in relation to the military and settler influences over Palestinian lives.
The soldiers raided my house today, they wanted revenge from me for participating in the BBC documentary about the settlers, after the army left the settlers raided my house.
By international law, the settlements are illegal. They don't see us as equal human beings who deserve the same rights they do.
You know exactly why. It is a question of dignity and the publications are through their perspective.
Amro shows Theroux around the Israeli-occupied area, confronted by military as they discuss the settlement issue.
