In a second part of Israel/Palestine (1948-2008): From the 'Red House' to the Siege of Gaza, we listen to the Israeli historian Dr. Moti Golani speaking on: 'Wars Do Not Just Happen'. The Most prominent and controversial argument that Golani presents seems to be that "peace has not always headed Israel's list of priorities and war has not always headed its neighbours' list of priorities."

What is confessionalism? What is Hizbollah? What has made it popular? What gave birth to such organisation that the US ruling class considers terrorist? What is its programme? Is Hizbollah challenging the power structure in Lebanon? Lara Deeb, a cultural anthropologist, assistant professor of women’s studies at the University of California-Irvine and author of "An Enchanted Modern: Gender and Public Piety in Shi‘i Lebanon".
