A discussion with two representatives of an Israeli peace village called Neve Shalom (Hebrew) / Wahat al-Salam (Arabic). In this unique village, Arab and Jewish Israelis have chosen to live together in peace, celebrating both cultures, languages and religions equally together.

Bob Fenton and Rami Mannaa, from the village, explain how the current political situation impacts upon their lives and work towards peace.

Chaired by The Very Rev John Drury, Chaplain of All Souls and Former Dean of Christ Church, Oxford.
