Comedian Dom Joly has described Israeli settlements on the West Bank as a form of “brutal repression”.

During a heated Twitter exchange with Israel-supporter Ben Myers, the Lebanese-born TV personality said: “Just watched 5 Broken Cameras — wonderful, powerful documentary about one village’s resistance to Israeli settlements in West Bank.

“It’s actually called brutal repression.”

Mr Myers, who lives in Israel, responded to the comic by tweeting: “You are in the wrong. You watch one agenda-driven film and you’re the expert.”
