oatmeal<p>Quoting Yuval Abraham: </p><p>The interview was conducted two weeks before the film won an Oscar.</p><p>[...] As a Mizrahi [Arab] Jew, I'm familiar with the experience of people thinking you're Arab. Once, at the entrance to a mall, I was speaking with him [his grandfather; OM] on the phone in Arabic, and the security guard stopped me. These are experiences that happen all the time. </p><p>[...] Neither I nor Basel are filmmakers. Rachel and Hamdan are very talented photographers, but no one thought about making a film. And then, I remember how during one car ride, about five years ago, we were teasing each other about how our posts weren't reaching anyone. In my case, there was an instance where only my mom liked my post. And then the idea came up that we have so much filmed material, let's make a film out of it.</p><p>[...] There needs to be equality, whether it's in two states, one state with a bi-national mechanism, or a confederation without evacuation. But the foundation is that neither we nor the Palestinians are going anywhere. Trump's vision? It shames our history as Jews, especially the fact that there's now a discussion of 'ethnic cleansing for and against.' It won't guarantee our security, just as expulsions in the past didn't bring a solution. There is so much creativity here in Israel. If we invested one percent of it, instead of just building high-tech and weapons, we would reach a solution. Where there's a will, there's a way.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.ynet.co.il/entertainment/article/yokra14255465" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ynet.co.il/entertainment/artic</span><span class="invisible">le/yokra14255465</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br /><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoOtherLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NoOtherLand</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Apatheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Apatheid</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WestBank</span></a> <br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ArabJews" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ArabJews</span></a></p>
