Israel-Palestine latest conflict discussion with: Roland Vogt & James Morton

2021-05-21
The horrific images of rockets raining down on both Arab and Jewish citizens in recent weeks represent yet another round in the seemingly unending circle of violence that has surround the Israeli Palestinian conflict for at least seven decades – and arguably more if you want to go to back to the history of hostilities in the area around Jerusalem, a crucible for three major religions. Despite numerous attempts at achieving some kind of solution, the recent unrest, which emanated from clashes in Jerusalem’s sacred Muslim locations during the holy month of Ramadan, provides strong evidence that the more intransigent elements are in the ascendancy both in Israel with an extremist nationalist government and among the Palestinians in the form of the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas government in Gaza.

With us to talk about the latest Israel-Palestine conflict are James Morton, Assistant Professor of the Department of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Roland Vogt, Associate Professor of European Studies at the University of Hong Kong.

The Pulse

RTHK's English-language current affairs programme that takes "The Pulse" of Hong Kong ... and the world around it.

"The Pulse" is presented by locally and internationally known journalist and writer Steve Vines.

Its focus? The latest events and trends that affect Hong Kong - from the corridors of power and business boardrooms, to the streets and dai pai dongs.

"The Pulse" is politics. What's happening in the Legislative Council and on the streets right now.

"The Pulse" is the media, informing us how well or badly our press and broadcast organisations diagnose and reflect the society around us.

"The Pulse" is insightful, in-depth reports and interviews on current issues - examining those issues in depth, looking behind and beyond the news.

Its focus is on the timely. The Now.

Keep your eye ... and your finger ... on "The Pulse".

If you want to discuss anything you've seen in "The Pulse", or anything in the public eye right now, or just to talk about the show, why not join in the debate on our Facebook page, RTHK's The Pulse.
