Journalists Nathan Thrall and Jake Wallis Simons are joined by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's James Landale with Tom Sutcliffe, including an interview with Israeli novelist Ayelet Gundar-Goshen.

This programme was set up before the violence broke out in Israel. Tom Sutcliffe will also be joined by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale.

The Israeli novelist and psychologist Ayelet Gundar-Goshen describes the shock felt by the attacks on her country. The Editor of the Jewish Chronicle Jake Wallis Simons discusses his book Israelophobia in which he argues that throughout history Jews have been hated for their religion and their race, and now anti-Semitism is focused on their nation-state. The journalist Nathan Thrall has been reporting in Israel and Palestine for many year. His book The Day in the Life of Abed Salama reveals the every day life of Palestinians in one of the most contested places on earth.
