In this episode of 'Lest We Forget Historical,' host Lillian Cauldwell examines the Palestinian issue and explores both perspectives of the Middle East conflict. A decade ago, in a movie set during the Napoleonic Wars, a British Royal Navy lieutenant famously declared, "God is on our side!" to which his captain retorted, "So is He with the Spanish and French."

Many conflicts are infused with a religious undertone that motivates warriors to fight bravely. However, Ms. Cauldwell poses the question of the necessity of war versus the potential for resolution through negotiation. She invites her audience to consider the Palestine-Israel conflict and other ongoing global conflicts.
