A portrait of Jerusalem. Divisions
Michael Kustow examines the antagonisms in Jerusalem today, which started when Abraham favoured his son Isaac
(ancestor of the Jews) over Ishmael (ancestor of the Arabs). He asks if this story of division could become a model of reconciliation, with views from Palestinian and Israeli academics and James Fenton 's powerful poem about hatred and holiness, Jerusalem, read by Ben Kingsley.
