Mixed heritage, religion and politics in the Middle East - suicide bomb survivor (pt 6/7)
Reya El-Salahi meets Abigail. Abigail and her family moved to Israel from the USA when she was eight - since then she has lived through four suicide bomb attacks, perpetrated by Palestinian militants. Amazingly, Abigail is still able to show compassion for the Palestinians, and says she understands how and why they feel the way that they do.
This is the personal journey of presenter Reya El-Salahi and also features contributors with extreme religious and political views. It deals with conflict in Israel and the Middle East from both the Jewish Israeli and Palestinian Arab sides. Issues of race, religion and contentious politics are explored.
