A special documentary by David Wheeler on the day that Israel celebrates its twentieth anniversary.
"It's very difficult to say what a Jewish identity is. It's a number of things -
it's religion, it's race, it's tradition, it's a way of life. It's everything." (London Jewish Teenager)
"If you don't live in Israel you cannot, and you never will be, a hundred per cent Jew." (Israeli Kibbutz Worker)

In its first twenty years of existence, the people of this highly controversial though geographically tiny Middle Eastern country - before the June crisis it was about the size of Wales-have fought three wars with the Arabs to defend the fulfilment of their historic yearning for a Jewish homeland. Why did it happen - this unprecedented return of a people to the land occupied by their ancestors two thousand years ago? And how does the existence of Israel today affect the lives and future of the vast majority of Jews in the world who continue to form minority communities in other countries?
