Night Waves In Israel
The second of two programmes from Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Sarah Dunant reports on the battered peace process and the continuing struggle of the Palestinians to achieve a coherent identity, both cultural and territorial.

How does a generation brought up on conflict and the Intifada cope with the autocratic political culture of an exiled elite - the PLO - who are now back in charge?
