After seventy years there’s still no resolution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
The creation of two states seems to be the answer but Israeli author Nir Baram is not convinced.
He says the proposed state boundaries don’t address the deep wounds from the creation of Israel in 1948.
Nir Baram spent eighteen months travelling around East Jerusalem and the West Bank speaking to Jews and Arabs about their understanding of the past and hopes for the future.
