Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4’s ‘The World at One’ programme, Producer Zoe Conway looks at Solutions Not Sides work with young people, in two different spaces - a diverse secondary school and a Jewish youth group, both in London. These sessions were taking place soon after the violent escalation of the conflict in Israel-Palestine in May 2021, which saw the spectre of expulsion for Palestinians in East Jerusalem, a heavy handed police response in and around the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount that outraged many, and and descent in war between Hamas and Israel after Hamas launched hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, while ultimately led to the deaths of around 260 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis and internationals. Human Rights Watch has subsequently reported that both the Israeli military and the Hamas militant group likely committed war crimes during the conflict, particularly around causing or risking civilian casualties.
