The Israel-Palestine conflict as seen by the host, an Arab-American, whose father was a native-born Jerusalemite Christian who became a displaced (de facto exiled) person following the events of May 1948. Mostly reading from internet dispatches, both e-mail and website, augmented with excerpts from books etc. Occasional guests/guest hosts.
