On the 56th anniversary of the Six Day War, which marks the beginning of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, this episode features a small story that may inspire some hope for ending the occupation, for Isreali-Palestinian peace and reconciliation. This episode's guest is Yair Barak, who at the time of the war was a reserves soldier in the IDF and participated in the fighting in Jerusalem. He recently returned to the Muslim Waqf in Jerusalem's Old City a key to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which he took during the war, 56 years ago. 
His story was recently featured in a Haaretz magazine piece by Nir Hasson.
