Assignment: A slogan and a land, part two
Tim Whewell completes a trip across the West Bank and Israel, reaching the Mediterranean
In this second part of his journey from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, across the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Israel, reporter Tim Whewell continues his exploration of the physical and human reality behind the slogan 鈥淔rom the River to the Sea鈥, a phrase which creates intense controversy. Tim descends from the high ridge of the West Bank hills to the Israeli Mediterranean coast at Herzlia, known for its beaches and high-tech industry 鈥 and then continues along the sea, to end his journey at the ruined ancient city of Caesarea. He encounters a Palestinian dry stone waller, an Israeli hairdresser, and then, crossing into Israel, he talks to Jewish Israelis including teachers, activists and a journalist 鈥 and to Palestinian citizens of Israel. What future do all these people hope for?
