The State of Israel: Living with danger and division

Though Israel was born in conflict, and has experienced a long succession of wars and terrorist attacks, it has managed to develop a prosperous democracy with a powerful cultural and scientific impact on the world. Yet Israel is trapped in a cycle of violence, where the struggle to preserve its own security damages the safety and aspirations of the Arabs who share the 'Holy Land' of Palestine. As war in Iraq shakes the foundations of the Middle East, we examine the current state of Israel.
