A three-part series examining the origins, violent creation, and modern-day reality of the state of Israel, told through the stories of individual Israelis.
In Epsiode 1 Al Jazeera examines how and why Jews returned to Palestine after 2,000 years of exile, and how the political Zionism first articulated in 1896 became reality with such speed.

no son, it wasn't "promised."

the land of Israel, and my very flesh, are one and the same.

heck my skin color even, is the same color as Israeli soil!

but can an ashekanazi say the same!?

[pillsburydoughboy47]

a full blooded Hebrew would have told me where my family is by now;

ashkenazi cruelty stems from the fact that they're white, and no other reason.
