The director may have had good intentions but, this doesn't hide the fact that this ad is extremely offensive. What if Nazis decided to film German kids playing ball with Jewish kids inside a concentration camp's walls? That would be completely unacceptable. Notice we do not see what's on the other side of that wall. Why? Because if we did see it, anyone with enough common sense would know that the Palestinians would be in no mood for a game of friendly soccer with their occupiers.
@checkunderyourbed I couldn't agree more. It was probably meant to be funny and not offensive to Palestinians, but it is. The wall is no joke for people who are cut off from their land, their history and sometimes family, and who live under the constant military oppression of Israel.
Israel is here to stay. No amount of double standards and half-truthful propaganda will change that. You can cry and moan and ignore all the facts and history you want; all you're doing is annoying people who have actually taken the time to study the conflict rather than jump on the mindless anti-Israel zombie bandwagon.
It's almost amusing that so many morons are getting bent out of shape over a cell phone commercial, so blinded by their own prejudice that they can't see the message of common humanity and possible peace here.
For the sake of the gene pool, I hope you're all sterile.
Thus, they renamed the land of Judea to "Palestine".
I'd assume you already knew this bit of crucial history, strongpikin, but you've managed to prove yourself to be just another misinformed and willingly ignorant sheep in just 6 words. Don't you feel special.
Kid, Theodore Herzl started Zionism in 1897 after he witnessed the anti-Semitic consequences after the Dreyfus affair. And Jews have been living in Palestine for over 2,000 years. In 117 AD, the Jewish population of Judea revolted a 2nd time against the Romans and were brutally put down. In an effort to erase the Jews from history, the Romans exiled the Jews and renamed their land after the Jews' worst enemy: the Philistines, a people unrelated to the so-called"Palestinians" of today.
Levantine Arabs are direct descendents of Israelites! There was no "exile". Only solution all ZioNazis go back to the countries they came from then there will be peace!
This seems like a call to friendship. I don't think they had bad intentions when they got the idea of making this commercial. But I still want to go there and fight for Palestinian land. And some day I will, inshallah. FREE PALESTINE!
Lets give them the benefit of the doubt. However, I do wonder how the israelis would have reacted if the palestinians made a commercial that added insult to injury. What about palestinians playing poker or football in a nazi concentration camp??
This is not light-hearted fun: The Arab-Israeli relationship has moved away from a war between equal parties and turned into the segregation and indiscriminate murder of Palestianians.
et me remind the idiot who said this was like the Germans and British playing football that the people kicking the ball on the Palestinian side ARE CIVILIANS NOT SOLDIERS, walled up inside a frequently-bombed enclave. A better analogy would be Nazi guards and concentration camp prisoners. Not so jolly now eh?
I'm Muslim, of arab descent, living in North America, and I loved this commercial. I applaud Cellcom and their team for the message they're trying to send, namely that regardless of arab or israeli, the "other" is still human, just like everyone else and they want to have fun despite the tension, disagreements, and conflicts.
everyone chill out and keep the bigger picture in mind.
I think it's a nice ad. It reminds me of the story about the World War I English and German soldiers singing "Silent Night" to each other across no-man's-land. Too bad they went back to fighting the next day.
So i'm guessing your Final Solution to the Palestinian Problem is going well then? Funny how things can change. First genocide was commmited on you, now you attempt the same against Palestinian Arabs. What a cruel world
Gee, I guess the nest time the Israelis want to portray the so-called Palestinians as "just like everyone else", they'll think again, because of all the brainless whining by self-righteous ignoramuses.

I see no reason why there would be negative responses. Would you rather see the Israelis throwing over tear gas instead of the ball?
This is a step in a good direction. Maybe peace can happen.

That's exactly what the Israelis did do when Palestinians kicked over a real ball. This is just cheap-ass propaganda.
