Daniella Weiss, an Israeli settler in the West Bank who proudly espoused extremist views in a new BBC documentary, has been branded "pure evil" by viewers; yet, in a twist of irony, Israel nominated her for a Nobel Peace Prize just last month.
Leading British journalist Louis Theroux's latest documentary, "The Settlers," takes a critical look at the nearly 700,000 Israelis intent on settling the Israeli-occupied West Bank, home to approximately 2.8 million Palestinians. Weiss, the "godmother" of the settler movement, is featured and was condemned for her genocidal views.
