The cradle that nurtured three major religions is all to often the crucible that foments hatred and conflict. Chris Laidlaw speaks with two sides in the complex argument that is Israel and Palestine. Former Palestinian presidential candidate Mustafa Barghouti proffers a Palestinian perspective then Dor Shapira from the Israeli Embassy to New Zealand in Canberra allows us an insight into the Zionist point of view. Both want peace for what is essentially their shared homeland.
