The first part of an Al Jazeera undercover investigation into the Israel lobby in Britain, covering efforts to influence youth groups and the National Union of Students, including a smear campaign against its president.
HN commenters mostly cite it as an investigative documentary on lobbying and influence operations in UK politics, with some presenting it as a critical exposure of the lobby's tactics.

There's a very interesting investigative documentary by Al Jazeera that shows how Israel funds and manages the Israeli lobby in the UK. I'll look for the link and edit this comment. Edit : Here is a link to part 1 of the series: this video . You can follow the "Up next" link to watch the other parts; there are 4 parts in total.
Poor Israel, can't even dehumanise, colonise a people, drive them out of their homes and kill them without being criticised. You are dishing out the same old washed out propaganda and people know it's utter bullshit. Israel is the coloniser and the oppressor no matter how hard you push your propaganda, people can see the evidence from too many sources now, even secular jewish ones. Israeli Solider testimony [ [LINK] ] "The Lobby" - Documentary exposing the vile and venomous smearing tactics of the Israeli lobby (undercover reporter is jewish) [ this video ] The Jewish State (Der Judenstaat), (1896) [ [LINK] ] On Palestine - Noam Chomsky [ [LINK] ] The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine - Ilan Pappe (jewish historian) [ [LINK] ]
Israel seems to have a relative degree of immunity when it comes to subverting UK pol. Anyone ever see the investigative journalist piece of the Zionist group trying to subvert the UK Labour Party? They had a journalist go undercover for 6 months recording all kinds of things they weren't meant to: this video There was only minor fallout from this incident, and I imagine it will be the same here.
