I too have seen "Relentless." I would not call it a balanced presentation of the issues. It is a slick, well-edited piece of propaganda which could have been issued by the Israel Ministry of Information. Don't get me wrong, it's worth seeing, most of it is accurate and could be very useful in countering the anti-Israel propaganda being promulgated by its enemies. But it makes no attempt to portray the Palestinian point of view or deal with the issues in the conflict which trouble the Palestinians. For instance it totally avoids the settlements issue, Israeli violations of human rights in the occupied territories, and the general atmosphere of distrust and despair among the Palestinians that these actions have generated, all of which need to be addressed in a balanced portrayal of the conflict.
