Conflict Through The Eyes Of Children: A Palestinian-Israeli Friendship (Extraordinary Documentary)

Two girls meet through digital educational project. Samar's father comes from the (Palestinian) Occupied Territories. Linor's family was evacuated from a Jewish settlement. Only 67 kilometers apart, yet an ideological gulf stands between them. The girls meet and an instant bond is struck. Nevertheless, reality overpowers the friendship.
In this engaging discussion, we delve into the journey of individuals who have navigated the complexities of transferring between Jewish and Arab schools, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs they faced along the way. From familial influences to societal expectations, we uncover the nuances of identity formation in a diverse world.
But it's not just introspection-we also tackle pressing current events, offering perspectives on rocket attacks, military responses, and the delicate balance between security and civilian safety. Through heartfelt conversations and genuine reflections, we invite you to join us on a journey of understanding, empathy, and connection.

The world needs more of this.

[@DanH-u3f]

The people can be friends, but their politicians will incite violence against each other.

[@Senacacrane]

Despite the differences, these two people were meeting each other and that is important. We need more of this around the globe. A lot more of this around the globe.

[@mrweasel]

The girl's show empathy should be far more powerful than ideological prejudice. Linor's grandma shows how prejudice can rot the mind following years of othering and seperation.

[@imbloodbath9908]

They can be friend it's not the issue the problem is the government

[@acorn8170]

It's also the elders passing down the racism.

[@MoonFlower721]

These girls have such a great understanding of the meaning of friendship, love and humanity at such a young age. Racism, fear and bigotry is taught and it usually starts at home. I have hope for the future. These are smart girls.

[@stefansollberger5658]

what her grandmother was telling her is bullshit

[@inviz_957]

Grandmother continues to propagate hate. Children are not born with racism, the seeds are planted, and cultivated, by the adults around them. It's sad. I live in Canada, and grew up around many different ethnicities. I've had friends from all over the world. My life is so much better for that reason. The world would be pretty boring if we all looked the same, dressed the same, acted the same, ate the same foods...😐

​@@inviz_957 you're forgetting the objetuves of the majors conflicts as the actual in Palestine... Money, power... It's not the people who creates hate but who wants to doninate not only others as they're own people...

[@inviz_957]

I didn't forget that part - the conflict, the long history...I just didn't want to comment on it after watching this film. This film was about how much more we're alike, and putting differences aside ❤️.

Children can be friends with any children they are children

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Kids are born prejudice free. Religion, parents, and environmental circumstances create anger, hatred, and division. In a world where were all suppose to accept people for who they are, its odd that Religion is the exception for 2 people to not like each other.

the issue is the education

[@anovemberstar]

No, it's male ego out of control that needs to be checked

[@cestmarrant1]

It's just so sad. My heart breaks

[@TuneinR]

They look like teenagers and teenagers and very young people don't have any issues making friends with just anyone regardless of race,skin colour etc. If you are searching for evil,look for an adult.

[@chelseyfrancismccarthy4214]

Not so easy when the children's are being indoctrinated in schools etc. When the families are mourning their loved ones it scars deeply along with the demonic indoctrination!sorry eye hope and pray for the time when ,mankind realise we are all one eternal spiritual brotherhood ##

[@OzzieBird]

We are all the same after all. Stop killing each other.

[@mariateixeira6379]

👍🏻✨✨✨

[@ibisriver]

Wow, this is painful to watch, so horrendous; the comments of some of these women; “there is always a sting between Jews and Arabs and don’t get upset by what the Arab girl says” the Jewish grandmother tells her granddaughter 🤦🏽‍♀️. She would most likely say the same about an Arab Jew

[@acorn8170]

It's racism. I mean to tell your granddaughter love doesn't exist. It's a habit. What a sad existence. I hope this generation grows up to see for themselves their is love...and forgiveness.

[@greenyellow1200]

PEACE..NO WAR 💖💚💙

[@acorn8170]

There are so many grudges held between both cultures. Understandable to a point. The principle of the school was really great. Teaching those girls that we are all Gods children. The young girls were so excited to meet and really liked each other. But the grudge and hate from the past killed it all. This gave me a little bit of hope though. These young girls will grow up to have their own minds and will remember they met a wonderful friend once. While respecting their elders they may still be capable of seeing the possibility of getting along if they can think for themselves. 🙏

[@PodcastCentral333]

wow, what a story.

[@c.t5136]

Can't watch as so annoyed by the divisive mother at the start... No wonder there are problems.

Justice leeds to peace! Palestinians need their own safe space aka State! They need the time to heal from oppression and brutal occupation. The illegal settlers should give the stolen land back to the rightfull owners. And after justice is restored, I am sure there is chance for peaceful coexistence and eventually fruitful connections! God bless ❤

[@Femmeaesthetic]

@@soulstar2401 the land was not stolen. Palestine was a region under British empire, no Arab identified Palestinians until 1964 created by Yasra Arafat who’s Egyptian. There was a plan for 2 states under British but Arabs rejected it and declared war against Israel.

[@wondertyzipp8260]

@@Femmeaesthetic Palestine's refusal towards the two-state solution proposal was over fifty years ago! Palestinians of today who had no say in that refusal should be able to have that option presented to them now, so they can have the chance to forge their own state where they will not be oppressed by Israel. Israelis need to remember that they weren't the only ones who were in desperate need of a promise land in the Palestinian mandate. The Palestinians were treated horrifically by the Ottomans who oppressed them before Israel was created, and the Palestinians earned their promise land from Britain by allying themselves with the British Empire to defeat the Ottoman Empire. They deserve to be there.

[@Pure-Unblemished]

Blame the religions before blaming anything else. At its core it is a conflict between an inherently militant religion vs a historically prosecuted religion which now has decided enough is enough.

[@propersami7704]

Wrong. It's a failed colonial project that displaced hundreds of thousands of the indigenous population off their land. It's in its final stages of apartheid which will soon come to an end. Learn your history. Jews saw the most peace during their when the Middle East was controlled by the Muslims. Jews have been largely persecuted throughout Europe whilst under Christian control. Even until now, most hate crimes against Jews are commited by right wing ultra nationalists in Europe and the US.

[@AliHZH]

“At its core” it is a genocide and unlawful occupation of Palestinian land by Israel.

[@SM-ce1uy]

it's gotten more complex with both sides blaming each other yet neither are 100% right, they need to coexist and for the current conflict to end as it has engulfed far too many collateral victims women and children.

[@itskindofafunnystory...3237]

It boils down to jealousy of success, according to the former Hama's leader's son. Ideals rooted in false beliefs.

[@trevaudio]

You’re part of the problem…go away

if a stranger throws rocks at your house from your neighbors yard and your neighbor plays dumb about it - how long would you put up with it before burning down your neighbors house?

that is ridiculous, this is exactly why this conflict has escalated to this level.
