Absolutely nauseating. One thing I have to admit, though, is that the right in Israel has done a poor job of creating anything "cultural" to counter this crap propaganda.

"People need to see there are two sides to this story or we will be bombing and killing each other for another 100 years." There are two sides: 1) Jews have always lived in Israel and since 1948 it has once again been a free Jewish State which to seeks to live at peace with their neighbors. 2) Arabs inhabited Israel by conquest and mass immigration. They have never accepted the right of any Jew to live in Israel and even today the vast majority of them want all of the Jews gone. Please explain to me how "seeing" the two sides is going to bring peace? Are there no film makers, artists, singers/songwriters, or theatre actors in Israel who AREN"T obsessed with spreading Palestinian propaganda and blaiming Jews for everything?

This play is a ripoff of "Saadya Weissman," a novel written 35 years ago by Devora Waiss, in which a secular israeli couple raise a Jewish Yemenite child who has been kidnapped from his "backward, religious" parents.

As soon as anybody uses those words in connection with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, you know you're going to get an obscene moral equivalence that equates the firefighter with the arsonist.

director should be commended for this play, it brings out the human side of the conflict that we always like to forget about...

I would advise you to visit a Palestinain refugee camp (If only mentally, to do that Imagine a jewish family's suffering when they were driven to the Gettos of Poland) and see the suffering and agony that people are having. And don't try to convince your self that it is not your problem it is everybodies problem. These people lost their homes because Israel was created. So you have to hear the other side of the story.

You can't say that "always lived in Israel " you fled from EGYPT. Right.

And now, tis not the season to repeat worn out Leftist cliches and propaganda.

The problem with Ashkenazim is this. They "think" and act as Europeans colonialist. Most of them lack of real jew-israeli identity soul. No middle-eastern jew (mizrahi) act this way because they don't feel alien to Israel.

I have been to a Palestinian refugee camp, to more than one actually. They are squalid and full of anger and despair. Those responsible should be held accountable for the wretchedness that these people have endured for the last six decades. Do you who is responsible for putting them in these camps? The Arab leaders and media who urged the Palestinians to leave their homes in 1948 so they could send in the Arab armies to destroy the Jews. They are responsible for the Palestinians being in these camps. Do you know who is responsible for keeping them there? The governments of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and every other Arab country (excepting Jordan, that has allowed some in) that has refused to grant them citizenship, refused to allow them to integrate into their societies, and has chosen instead to keep them penned up like animals so they can be used as anti-Israel propaganda. They, and the UNWRA, which funds the whole disgusting affair, are to blame. that is the "other side" of the story.

You got me, the Jews have not always lived in Israel, sense they came from Egypt at some point . Correction: Jews have lived in Israel uninterupted for the last 3,200 - 3,400 or so years. That means nearly 2,000 years before Mohammad foistde his maniacal conquest plans off on the Arab people and sent them invading everyone elses land. Do you feel better?

They fled Egypt to what is now Israel 3000 years ago and then began civilization here. Whatever have the Arabs contributed to this country, or for that matter, to the world?

What is so hard to understand. The Arabs lived here first and were expelled. Its their land they have the right to come back and reclaim all of their propery. Anything else means war. The UN as the voice of the international community supports the right of return. International law requires Israel to follow the UN.

It's hard when terrorists aren't PC enough to include the kind of peaceful endings that Israelis want to hear, isn't it Mr. Gaon? (Ironic note for English speakers--Gaon is Hebrew for "genius"--perhaps a misnomer in this case). Fortunately we have leftist playwrights who can present us with terrorists' inner thoughts and dreams, as they would be if only if only the "Palestinians" could play nicely by the leftist script. God forbid we hear what the "Palestinian" author actually had to say, right? Then we'd be tempted to "rush to the front"...ahh the irony...

tsk tsk tsk.....and I bet it is not rosh chodesh! ( some kind of 7th century EID perhaps?)

In the article, titled "Do the Jews Have Any Less Right to Palestine than the Arabs?" 'Alwan called on the Arab world to acknowledge the Jews' right to Palestine, because justice demanded it and also because doing so would end the violence and the killing of Arabs, as well as intra-Arab strife. He added that such a move would also open up new avenues for the Arab world that would be more consistent with the values and needs of modern society. http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD189708
