Series Description

Documentary series with international stories. Predecessor to FRONTLINE, executive producer David Fanning. Five seasons from 1978-1981. "WORLD has presented a series of international documentaries.

Program Description

The West Bank is 2,000 square miles of territory conquered by Israel in 1967. In Old Testament times, this was the home of the Jewish people. But for many centuries it has also been the home of Arabs. Since their victory, the Israelis have built 90 new settlements. The UN claims the soldiers protecting these settlements are illegal. Israelis themselves are bitterly divided.
