Palestine (1x3)

Udgivelsesdato: Nov 18, 2007

The final episode looks at Palestine. The roots of the conflict are traced to the decisions made by the British during the First World War and beyond. The complex relationship between Britain and Islam could be no better embodied as the British at first promised independence for the Arabs before reneging on that through Sykes-Picot and the Balfour Declaration. The schizophrenia is emphasised through figures such as T.E. Lawrence, whose fondness of the Arabs was unparalleled, to the likes of Orde Wingate whose Christian evangelism led him to support Zionism
