With the collapse of ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, what hopes for peace are there for the people of Gaza? The war of words also continues; who are the victims, who are the villains, and ultimately who is to blame? It seems impossible to have a reasoned conversation on this highly contentious issue.  

Andrew Urquhart talks with Geoffrey Miller about the geopolitical challenges and New Zealand’s potential role in the pathway to peace. Dr Graham Redding examines the theologically fraught view of any national identity seeing themselves as God’s Chosen people. Rev. Frank Ritchie shares his own experiences of conflict in Israel and encourages us to have respectful conversations, seeing people loved by God on both sides of the divide.
