Summary: Television broadcasting debuted in Sweden in 1957. And Swedish public broadcaster SVT began covering Israel and Palestine almost from day one.

But over time the Palestinians move from the sidelines to center stage. There is hope, there is confusion, there is disillusionment and despair. Israel Palestine on Swedish TV 1958-1989 features interviews with key political and military figures, and highlights historic events like the Six Day War, the 1972 Munich Olympic attack, the first Intifada, and the massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
