Episode 2
Eight British Jews explore what it means to be Jewish in Britain today. The group meet Israelis and Palestinians, who force them to question their long-held views.
In the second episode, the group continues their journey in Israel. The group travel the country and go to the occupied West Bank, meeting with people from across the religious and political divide - Israelis and Palestinians - who force them to question their long-held views.
The group travel to Efrat, considered by the international community to be an illegal settlement built on land Israel doesn't own. There they meet a settler who explains why he thinks this is just a regular town. In Hebron, they meet Noam, spokesman for the Jewish Settlers. He explains why he thinks Jewish people have a biblical right to the land there. They also meet Tsipi, a prominent Jewish activist whose father was murdered by a Palestinian. Challenged by some of the group about how Palestinians living in Hebron are treated, she gives them her perspective on the reason for restrictions on their movement and explains why she and fellow settlers have no plans to leave the town.
They also meet with Palestinians - Issa, an activist, Fadi, who tells them what his life is like living behind the West Bank's separation barrier, and Atta, a Palestinian farmer living near Hebron who says his land was bulldozed by the Israeli authorities.
With their journey drawing to an end, the group head to Jerusalem. There, they visit the Western Wall, one of the holiest sites in the world for Jews, before a moving meeting with two fathers - a Palestinian and an Israeli - who have both lost young daughters to the conflict and are now working together for peace.
