Natural Born Settlers

Maker Iris Zaki, a self-described liberal from Tel Aviv, wanted to get behind the politics of Israel’s controversial settlements in the occupied territories — so she moved there, temporarily, setting up an improvised cafe where she could chat with settlers from her own generation.
