What lies at the root of the trouble which is threatening to destroy our world today?
Well, it's a piece of land, about 60 miles long and 30 miles wide, and is what used to be called the land of Palestine. It's a series of problems following the setting up of the State of Israel in 1948 when thousands of Arabs were forced into exile as President Harry Truman gave in to the Jewish political lobby in New York and Britain decided to wash its hands of the problem, leaving the Arabs to sink or swim.
Things were made worse when, in 1967, the American-backed Israeli army destroyed the Egyptian air force on the ground, took control of East Jerusalem and the West Bank in what came to be called the Six-Day War.
