A World Apart Within 15 Minutes

lol. I hate it when people don't know the way but pretend they do. Then they make up some directions and get you even more lost. HAHA it is usually a guy who does this. Women just admit when they don't know.

i met anne-marie and she is so funny - haha cannot stop laughing. you should make a longer documentary about her following her doing more of these things.

The border is based on RACE - Jews on one side, non-Jews (muslims, christians, druze, maronites, etc) on the other.

race is a disputed term. it certainly does not apply to jews, muslims, christians, maronites (a christian branch) or druze.

I am not surprised at all. Although there ARE signs around the city that point to Ramallah, its not somewhere you go everyday. When I was living in Manhattan, I wouldn't be able to give people good directions to New Jersey or Queens, why should these people know how to get to Ramallah?

Separate to that, imagine a Jew in Ramallah asking for directions to Pisgat Zev or Ramot.

Another example why religions suck! The border is based on religious affiliation.

I don't think so. More like nationalism and colonialism.

Roger Cohen has an opinion piece in the NY Times today based on your film - thank you for keeping a spotlight on the reality of the gulf between two world just minutes apart.

Why not ask the residents of Ramallah if they know how to get to Safed (Sfat) or Ariel? Or the people of North Korea how to get to Seoul? There is a border in the way.

that's the sad thing. Hopefully one day for those people it will be like asking somebody in Strasbourg the way to Kehl or someone in Vintimiglia the way to Nice: no problem at all.
