The second episode opens with the mass protest at Kfar Maimon, where 40,000 settlers gathered in a last attempt to halt the disengagement, as fears of civil war reached their peak. At the heart of the episode are the settlers’ deepest dilemmas, where the triangle of faith - Land of Israel, People of Israel, and Torah of Israel - collided with the authority of a democratic state and its security forces.

The episode examines the ideological and emotional crisis within the settlement movement: claims of betrayal by rabbis and community leaders, the struggle to maintain solidarity with the IDF, and the growing rupture with government decisions that ultimately led to the physical evacuation - an event that shattered faith in the state and its leadership.

It documents Operation “With Determination and Sensitivity,” focusing on the intense mental preparation soldiers underwent to carry out a controversial government order against their fellow Israelis. The episode revisits the long-term impact of the evacuation on both sides. The children who were uprooted are now adults, are they more radical, more cautious, more ideological, or more pragmatic? Opposite them are the soldiers who carried out the orders while breaking down in tears. What traumas remain? Did their political worldviews change? Did despair or hope prevail?

The episode also follows the persuasion efforts that preceded the evacuation, as settlers were asked to prepare to leave their homes and hand them over to the enemy. Officers, psychologists, rabbis, and community leaders worked to ready Gush Katif residents for a move at the center of a fierce national dispute.

Ultimately, Episode 2 documents the deep leadership, faith-based, and democratic fracture that has shaped the settler community from the disengagement until today.
