Channel 4 reports Israel’s extreme pre IDF religious training

JVL Introduction

Channel 4 News (UK) has produced a chilling report about Bnei David, a training centre based in an illegal Israeli settlement devoted to instilling extreme religious teaching upon young potential IDF fighters.  The report lacks clarity about the illegality of settlements under international law, but nonetheless makes vital reading, and watching. Many of those who spend time learning from Bnei David have gone on to fight in Gaza or become part of the military occupation of the West Bank.

We are pleased to publish here both a Substack blog and a YouTube version of the report (at the end of the post).
