While the peace process in the Middle East advances with extreme difficulty,
in a small
town in northern Israel Jews and Arabs live together in relative harmony.
The
population of the seaside town of Acre comprises over thirty thousand
Jews, ten
thousand Muslims and about a thousand Christians. Seven of these Israelis
tell us
about their lives in a mixed town.
