1. Gaza

Aired: 1/3/2010

Ross travels to the Gaza strip, seen by many as the front line between Islam and the West. During the course of his time in Gaza, Ross sees all sides of Gazan life – from the military wing of Islamic Jihad who continue to fire rockets indiscriminately into Israel, to the ordinary Palestinians whose homes have been systematically destroyed by Israel in retaliation.

2. Israel

Aired: 1/10/2010

Ross travels over the border and into Israel to see first hand the effect that 60 years of conflict has had on this young nation. He starts his journey in Jerusalem, the scene of over 30 suicide bombings and terrorist attacks, he then comes under fire from rocks and tear gas grenades when he goes to see the protests by Palestinians against the “separation barrier” that has been built to keep suicide bombers out.
