The crossroads for three great religions, the Holy Land has been coveted and fought over for centuries. Host Rick Steves visits the major sights, but delves deeper to better understand and empathize with both peoples. In Israel, he goes from the venerable ramparts of Jerusalem to the vibrant modern skyline of Tel Aviv. In Palestine, by harvesting olives near Hebron, visiting a home in Bethlehem, and popping into a university in Ramallah (above), he comes to know a land few tourists visit.
Watch Rick Steves Holy Land: Israelis And Palestinians Today tonight at 9:30pm on GBH 44 or on the PBS Video App.
