They started off at about nine o'clock, Joe driving the utility, Jean riding in the back with the injured man, and Bourneville following behind, riding and leading the two horses.

The second in a series of three programmes about the reality of life for the Jews and Arabs in the land controlled by Israel. The Price of Conquest
The Six-Day War of 1967 was a spectacular military victory for the Israelis. But the legacy of that war was the occupation of the West Bank of the Jordan and the Gaza Strip, which has gone on for 14 years.
The issue of what is to happen to those territories and to the people who live there dominates the life and politics of Israel. The military occupation has scarred the Arabs. How far has it also damaged the Jews?
Martin Young seeks the views of the hardliners and the liberals in Israel today.
