Over the next three episodes in Part 7, we look into what makes the situation worse, the real problems that have a really significant effect on the ability of Israelis and Palestinians to create peace. In Episode 25, we take a look at religious extremism and talk about how it makes things worse in an already tragic conflict.

In Episode 26, we examine a second factor that is making things worse, the irresponsibility and bias of the media. It takes a significant toll, in particular leading people to the wrong conclusions.

In Episode 27, we talk about the United Nations and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the role they’ve played in the Israeli-Palestinian situation. We question of whether, in fact, they help or harm the Palestinian people.
