The modern-day conflict of Arab and Jew looks depressingly similar to the old modern-day conflict of Arab and Jew.

Between 1984 and 1986, Emigre contributor David Smith was ITN’s Middle East correspondent, based in Israel.

Nearly forty years later, as war rages once again in the region, The Emigre presents a photo gallery of a chapter of his still timely book about the insoluble conflict, Prisoners of God: The Modern-day Conflict of Arab and Jew (Quartet, London, 1987).
