UN partition plan for Palestine and establishing the State of Israel
Using a mixture of archive footage and interviews with experts in the field of Middle Eastern politics, we are introduced to the lengths which some were willing to go to achieve the goal of an independent Jewish state in the Middle East in pre-state Israel. There are examples of the Jewish Underground activities and good visuals of the bombing of King David Hotel in 1946.
Experts Benny Morris, Rashid Khalidi and Yezid Sayigh discuss the British plan for withdrawal in 1947 and dispute the impact of the UN partition plan upon Jewish and Arab communities. There is also a touch on the claims made by both sides on the Arab refugee problem.
