  1. 14:41 I feel this is usually a good sign of a creators integrity, when achieving success and profit the money is put back into the content to increase quality and quantity instead of just buying luxuries like flash cars, holidays etc (there's plenty of examples of this). Of course Preston deserves to reward himself and his family for the success his hard work has brought. But the fact he is hiring experts and increasing quality content under a banner of providing clarity with facts for the benefit of us all, is to be applauded. Keep up the great work Preston and team, more success to you. Also thankful to all who financially support the channel and enable this to happen, not everyone has the financial security to justify it so it's great that it's not all behind a paywall as the information is important for everyone. 👍

  2. ​​​​ @ianswayne7296 I have seen numerous reports that settler violence has increased since October 7th. And the purpose of Settler violence is largely to take more land through intimidation. So based on this I would say it's a definite yes. As the settler population has grown (around 400 000 today), so has the violence against Palestinians, especially in the last few decades. It can be traced back to the '67 war and the subsequent occupation of the Westbank, when the settler movement got going. Of course it needs to be said that plenty of settlers have been murdered by Palestinians, although the presence of the IDF to protect settlers from violence limits this to an extent (but often not protecting Palestinians in the reverse, there was viral footage soon after 10/7 of a settler shooting a Palestinian while a soldier watched). There's a really interesting Israeli doco on the Settler movement that explains a lot and is worth checking out. It is called 'The Settlers' and I found it on the YouTube channel 'Best Documentary'.https://youtu.be/prqtXMSdeUw?si=zokMUQ3wlCEdMKZ4
