In a simple question and answer format, Myths and Facts covers issues relating to Israel’s roots, her struggles through all her wars, and continues through the current crisis.

The concluding program features a fresh behind-the-scenes history of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the Camp David peace accord in 1978, the start of the Palestinian “Intifada” uprising in 1987, the Oslo agreement in 1993 and the attempts to consolidate a shaky reconciliation.
