Where Jewish and Arab Israelis coexist in harmony | DW Documentary

Neve Shalom in Israel is the site of a unique experiment. For around 50 years, Palestinians and Israelis have grown up alongside each other in a bid to show that peace is possible, no matter what is happening in the world outside.
The filmmaker Maayan Schwartz grew up in Neve Shalom. In his documentary, he explores the question of whether co-existence between Jewish Israelis and Palestinians is possible. The film shows Schwartz‘ largely carefree childhood in the community he shared with his Palestinian friends - an ease that is shattered when he decides to join the army.
The film poses the question of whether an experiment like Neve Shalom is a utopia that crumbles as soon as the residents leave their bubble and venture into the outside world -- where hatred, violence and a lack of understanding on both sides is the order of the day.

DW documentaries are often very humane, thank you! The world has been trying to progress and overcome division and hatred but before reaching the point, halfway, we are drifting backwards again. It is sad

[@andrewreynolds912]

Capitalism causes stuff like this sadly and other factors as well such as education and such

Beautiful living. Unsurprisingly it is in Israel, since the whole Israel is a place were Arabs and Jews coexist😮

Did you know that more than fifty thousand Arabs were killed in Israel in just the past month?

❤😢❤ Wow….Beauty in pain-Beauty in Hope. ❤😢❤ One of the BEST documentaries I’ve ever seen. This touched my heart and soul.

[@johnwhorfin5150]

also embedding or brain washing kids with religious beliefs from the earliest of life doesnt help the situation. religion is a scourge on earth

[@prinsespluis]

In hindsight it appears and was treated like a social experiment. At least this revolutionary idealis. tic spark and beacon of hope/ peace is so well documented (the kids experienced it as somewhat of a strain). Now - sadly- this piece of hope for a peaceful future seems more distant than ever with the ongoing eruptions ofethic and religious intolerance injestice and violence. War doesn't discriminate, both sides suffer

[@jadedjhypsi]

This is an amazingly interesting part of history I did not know about. I could never imagine the pain it caused their Palestinian neighbors and friends when the young men joined the military... And I say this being an Army Brat from the USA =) I hope there are many that learned from this and can help the peace grow!!

It goes both ways. Need more on both sides: agree.

[@snicker576]

@@amc3964 Well, it only really goes one way, unfortunately. There's a reason why 20% of Israel's population is Arab with Arabs in positions of power, while the tiny amounts of Jewish people have to just hope to survive in Arab countries.

“The people of South Africa will never forget the support of the state of Israel to the apartheid regime.” ~ Nelson Mandela on being released in 1990 In 1977, the United Nations passed a mandatory arms embargo against South Africa. Israel has repeatedly violated this mandate, equipping the white minority government with a number of weapons, including missiles, several kinds of aircraft, long-range missile boats and other lethal equipment. Israelis have also trained South African troops and provided advisers to the apartheid state in its military attacks against Angola.

The captions are too small on the screen in English. When we go to our caption settings it automatically does the transcribing in Hebrew which is natural. Can you make it so we can actually see or put into the settings for an English closed captioning thank you

They got along while they were children but in the end, the Israeli men went into the occupation army, because, as one of the Israelis in this interview said, he "identified with His Own".

The rest of Israel would also be "harmonious" if it wasn't expedient for the far-right government of Israel to use the religious minority as a scapegoat

There is one problem with this documentary. These arab kids are israeli citizens and live inside Israel and not palestinians. So if they call themselves palestinians, they should resign to their israeli citizenship
