This week: Shalom
The Hebrew word that means peace
It's two years since the week of death and destruction in the Middle East now known to history as the Six Days War. But since the ceasefire nearly as many people have been killed in the shaky peace as during the war. And in the meantime Israel has entered her twenty-first year of independence-still fighting.
As the politicians bargain and the death toll mounts, the strain on the ordinary people of Israel grows. If a nation is living with unease and fear, how do ordinary families react to the pressures? In Jerusalem the older children arrive earlier at school to search their classrooms for bombs. Shopping in city streets can end in disaster with a grenade explosion, a sniper's bullet, or a shell. On the border Kibbutzim armed patrols and dug-outs are still part of everyday life. No family has been untouched by death or casualty.
But still the word you hear most is the daily greeting of the Israeli people-Shalom, peace. Man Alive looks at the lives of Israeli families living under the stresses of that kind of peace today.
