Spent the past few months working on this film for @BBCPanorama. I tracked down hundreds of individuals convicted for joining (often violent) riots across the country last summer. Many told me their stories but just three were willing to speak on camera.

So sad to learn about the death of Auschwitz survivor Lily Ebert. @jennymparks and I had the privilege of interviewing her on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2022. May her story and legacy never be forgotten❤️

Quite a crisis unfolding in Israel, perhaps a defining one about whether it's a legally based democracy or a faith defined ethno-state. Military Police went to the Sde Teiman base to arrest 9 soldiers accused of abusing Palestinian detainees held there 1/
