Synopsis

Claire Foy (Little Dorrit) and Christian Cooke (Cemetery Junction) lead an international cast, including Itay Tiran (Lebanon), Haaz Sleiman (The Visitor), Ali Sulaiman (Paradise Now) and Perdita Weeks (Lost in Austen), in Peter Kosminsky's new four-part drama serial.
.
Just as 18-year-old Londoner Erin (Foy) sets off to spend summer in Israel with her best friend, Eliza (Weeks), she unearths an old diary belonging to her seriously ill grandfather, Len (Cooke). Intrigued by the life of this old man she barely knows, she takes the diary with her, and is stunned to learn of his part in the post-WWII British peace-keeping force in what was then Palestine.
.
Left to her own devices when Eliza begins National Service in the Israeli army, Erin witnesses the complexities of life--for both Jews and Arabs--in this troubled land. And as Len's story comes to life from the pages of the diary, Erin discovers the disturbing truths about his time in Palestine and the atrocities he witnessed in the 1940s. 
.
Retracing Len's steps in modern-day Israel, Erin sets out on a heart-breaking journey in an effort to understand and fulfil a promise made by her grandfather over 60 years ago.

Today the Jews are still seeking out the Nazi´s in every corner of the world to bring them to justice for their war crimes committed during the second world war.

Of the 1.500.000 Palestinians, residents of Gaza., how many will be seeking out the murders of their children, wives or husbands in the years to come? Hopefully to bring the culprits of these atrocious war crimes to justice rather than take the law into their own hands, althought religion does say "an eye for an eye"

It wants an independent investigation and if the instigators are guilty they should be tried for WAR CRIMES. THE SHOULD ALSO BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE RE CONSTRUCTION OF GAZA.
