Of all peoples on earth, Jews should understand suffering and not want anyone to suffer. Israel must end occupation and oppression of Palestine or lose its soul.

If I'm confused, then you're Lost! I knw wht u meant regarding white/blk. But don't see the relation! This actress is chosen bcs she looks like the author/protagonist of the book on which the story is based. what part of this sentence is too hard for you to Understand?? I'm Egyptian and knw very well about film industry here. We had a non egyptian actor play king farouk. why?? ask the director. but it wasnt such a big fuss here, at all. many more examples. I hope this will shut u up.

The jewish exodus was not a massive leaving of the jewish people. In fact many stayed in the land of judea/samaria or the arabic nations(most Israeli jewish are mizrahi kicked out of arabic nations) so your school is kinda sucky.

Nope no other races,nations,people the ottomans owned the entire territory then the British. The recognized the jewish had a right to return so they allowed the jewish to immigrate. Now the Arabs dont understand israel won the war now move on 22 nations pick one.

At school we learned that the Jewish were the original inhabitants of Israel. However over the years they moved away from Israel, they went somewhere else -there's a name for this phenomenon-.

So other races,nations,ppl decided to live in Israel. Now the Jews are reclaiming their country. But they don't understand that they left and so the land now belongs to other ppl. Would you like that your house gets destroyed because the previous owner of your house is reclaiming it?

[Isaac Hill]

omg... wow you have not studied this at all they never kicked them off there lands in fact Palestinian Arabs fled because of the Arab league invading Palestine to destroy israel after the war was over they allowed them to return look up the current population of israel at more then 1.5million yes they took the west bank but it was occupied by Jordan etc.

[Matthew Robertson]

1. There is enough stuff out there that criticizes Palestinians and many others. The problem is, Israel has kicked them off their lands and have made it extremely difficult for them to live, if the situation was reversed, Israel would be backed by the US among other countries.

[Isaac Hill]

study it well... tell me why they promote criticize israel but not Palestinian Hamas?

[Nikki Gloom]

ok here it is- I'm a jewish girl. i have accepted all religions and races but when 9/11 happens, my best friend is dead cause a man said Allah was good till he beat her and abused her and took her son- that was ok, i see movies like Sorayah M. Its hard to accept anything Muslim if your showing me that that is ok. and to treat women like shit. just saying.

[Mr123zazak]

No bitch, it's because of stupid arabs like you that arab countries are retarded and behind. it's people like you who love to play the victim and feel sorry for themselves. it's stupid arabs like you who can't enjoy or understand art or cultural products. and instead of contributing, they just whine "we are being discriminated". the guy is married to a Palestinian and making a movie about her childhood, and you are here accusing him of being a racist jew.

[Mr123zazak]

I just hate people like you, and I hate when they are loud and think they have a point. I hate when they are not aware of how ignorant and fake they are. You really think Schnabel insisted on a non-arab actress when preparing for the movie. yeah, he said "i don't want no fucking arab in my movie, bring me an indian, I love indians" LOL. you are pathetic.

[Zizo A]

This is exactly why Palestinians will NEVER prevail over Israel. Arabs fighting each other. Good job.
