Amy Dockser Marcus - Arab-Israeli Conflict: Peace Process or War Process

The Arab-Israeli conflict is a century old and still not resolved. The dispute between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs over the same land is bitter and deep, despite the fact that the disputed territory contains holy sites for the three major monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. What is the nature of current tensions? What are their implications for US policy? Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Amy Dockser Marcus and Dr. Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and columnist for the New York Times Syndicate, focus on United States diplomacy in this conflict, debating whether it has been part of a peace process or a war process.
