1. Thank You
Abdel ,   Nablus   (04.22.09)
Thank You Mr Mer-Khemis for your wonderful efforts, and thank you Mr Zubaidi for standing up for this, and for your great stand. The center should never be shut down, on the contrary, it should be supported and expanded!!! and if anything happens to it, it should and will be rebuilt again!!
2. a hero
judy ,   jlm israel   (04.22.09)
may g-d protect you and all the people who r not afraid to stand up for change
3. Why should we care?
Antonio ,   Haifa   (04.22.09)
What difference does it make if the Arabs kill each other? Just keep them ALL behind the wall and away from us. It's not our concern what they do one way or another.
4. Remarkable , Mer-Khemis Traits of Martin Luther King
Gad ben Shalom ,   Jerusalem   (04.22.09)
I am All Jew and Live in Israel Proper. I can only hope that not only does the Theatre stay open but others open as well. This "CaveMan" Mentality has got to stop ! When I see Abba's Son , Yasir talk about positive connections to Israel it gives me/us a little Hope !
5. Who is opressing whom?
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (04.22.09)
or is that vice-versa?
6. its because juliano mer is half jewish, and was in israeli
rina, haifa   (04.23.09)
provocative movies, and did hard drugs abroad. he started off fairly main streem in israel, and then became a very controvercial fringe one man show, following the drugs period. i guess he feels he started a new leaf in jenin.
7. Mer-Kehmis is a true freedom fighter !
Gary ,   Los Angeles, USA   (04.23.09)
More power to him !!!
8. Some think theater&music weaken the power of the resistance.
Michael ,   Galut   (04.23.09)
They do. Palestinians are more willing to have themselves killed (and kill others) when there lives suck, when they don't have things like theatre and music. Congrajulations Mer-Kehmis on your work! However, I still don't think there's much of a hope for major changes. But, maybe in another 60 years.
9. to #7 no he is not he made a film
ghostq   (04.23.09)
that was based on fales statistics of slaughter that never was, he loves attention in all costs, probably because his familey is half jewish half muslem, he don't like his jewish side, no really he doesn't even feel belong to judaism or to Israel, so much for peace maker. he cannot make peace with himself.
10. I wish you all the best
hila ,   Tel Aviv   (04.23.09)
Thanks to people like you, there is hope. Please don't give up, and hopefully you will inspire more people to follow in your footsteps!! Salaam, Shalom, Hila
