A new documentary opening Wednesday in New York highlighting Noam Shuster Eliassi, an Israeli comedian and peace activist. Shuster Eliassi hopes for justice and equality for Palestinians and "to make present the elephant in the room that a lot of artists [in Israel] prefer to ignore." We also speak with director Amber Fares, who says the film — like others dealing with the topic of Palestine — is struggling to find distribution in the United States but has six screenings already set up, including an opening at the IFC Center in New York City.
She's one of a small group of Woke Radical Leftists who believe living together with Palestinians in Israel is possible. The town of *Neve Shalom/Wahat-as-Salam is a village in Israel, jointly founded by israeli Jews and Arabs in an attempt to show that the two peoples can live side by side peacefully, as well as to conduct educational work for peace, equality and understanding between the two peoples. The village is located on one of the two Latrun hilltops overlooking the Ayalon Valley.
*The name Neve Shalom is taken from a passage in the Isaiah 32:18: "My people shall dwell in an oasis of peace".
