Israelis and Palestinians side by side at screening
2008 August 26
A column in The Jerusalem Post remarks on the overflow audience – composed of Palestinians and Israelis alike – for the screening of “The Making of…,” a documentary about the creation of the TV show “Good Intentions.” The show, which depicts the everyday tribulations of both Palestinians and Israelis and the very real potential for cooperation between the groups, has become a success in the region. According to the Post, a gathering like this proves “there is a mutual realization that violence serves no purpose and that solutions are possible when people focus on their commonalities.”
