Show detail Hide detail

This documentary, hosted by actor Tony Randall, examines the troubled history of Israel on its 40th anniversary in 1988. Randall's commentary, interviews, personal narratives and archival footage relate the conflict between Arabs and Jews that led to several wars and the rise of Palestinian nationalism throughout the four decades. Those interviewed include: Palestinian journalist Jimil Hamad; Declaration of Independence signatory Moshe Kol; former intelligence chief General Aharon Yariv; mayor of Jerusalem Teddy Collek; philosophy professor Sari Nusseibeh; and kibbutz menber Micha Lynne, his wife Hermona, and other family members. Archival footage includes: the United Nations voting to divide Palestine; civil war after the creation of the state of Israel in 1948; Jews arriving in Palestine; Egyptian ruler Gamal Abdel Nasser bringing tanks and soldiers to Israel's border during the Six Day War in 1967; Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat meeting with former Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir in 1977; and U.S. President Jimmy Carter witnessing a peace agreement between Sadat and Israeli president Menachem Begin in 1979. Randall notes that the problem now facing Israel is whether to give back the land or retain it with a growing Arab population. <60mn>
