Considering all the horrible things going on now, it’s sad that we probably won’t see another film like this for a while, if ever…glad this film was made! I remember seeing this back in the day when I was a teen. 😁🙏🏽💯
If only Leonard Bernstein was alive to see this! Incredible! Great production, parody and I think better than the original. Yeah, I've spent time in the very modern Israel.
I loved the similarity of both sides that (it seems) neither side can recognize. Clearly only love is strong enough to break through the barriers of hate.
For years I have pryed for mutyal spiritual understanding between both sides. We use the more ancient word/vibration Kodoish instead of Kadosh so that it sinks in to both people since we are cousins. Shalom.
Lovely! Very cheesy but I enjoyed it a lot! Nd hey, we(Muslims nd Jews) live in harmony here in Ohio too :D, very comedic way to portray the stupid feud between these two distant families
EyeOfTheLauren Feel bad? The entire point of making this film was to express both sides of the story in a way that will get people's attention and make them laugh. :)
To Americans this is a funny feel-good movie but I have doubts about its efficacy for peacemaking. I imagine it's very belittling to the men and women who've experienced great loss and trauma as a result of this conflict. The equivalent would be if English university students did a lighthearted song and dance number about the Trail of Tears or the Ferguson riots.
That's what I was wondering. Although from what was said in the description, it looks like it has had an overwhelmingly positive reception on both sides.
I hear what you're saying, but it's not a true equivalency because this isn't about a specific tragedy(such as the Trail of Tears or a massacre or terrorist attack), it's about the ongoing, entrenched hostility and prejudice between people who are neighbors. And yeah, comedy is one way to break the ice on that.
Amazing,this is like a parody on film David and Fatima.I laugh a lot!!I surprised why they are kissing,why she is without scarf,if it was,film be more close to reality.But nevertheless thanks so much!I think we must joke more to soft our hearts,joke only good jokes,like this!
2:01-2:15 No doubt it's referencing Fiddler On The Roof. 10:56 Donald Trump's favourite part. 18:15 Beverly Hills would be expensive. Perhaps they should go to Neve Shalom- Wahat al Salam.

This reminds me of a similar film about South Africa? You know how there used to be separation and everything? But there was no problem really, black and white south africans just didn't know how to get along. Apartheid was just in their minds innit.
This Film Won the Short Film Academy Award
at the 79th Academy Awards, it won the Oscar in the category Best Live Action Short Film.
My ap world teacher showed us this the day after our exam this past may. This needs to be seen more especially after recent events.
I came back here after remembering my Sophomore world history class - nearly a decade ago…
My social studies teacher showed us this in our world history class to teach us about the Israel-Palestine conflict
Still one of the best short filma that I have ever seen... every dialogue is very insightful
Considering all the horrible things going on now, it’s sad that we probably won’t see another film like this for a while, if ever…glad this film was made! I remember seeing this back in the day when I was a teen. 😁🙏🏽💯
Saw the academy award short at the time and have wanted to see the full short ever since. I am loving it!
7:55 "Anytime you want it, I'll give it to you. Hummus, I mean,"
I actually missed that until I saw your comment. That made me burst out loud 😂
Love, Love, LOVE it. A great message delivered with self-deprecating humor. Bravo! Needs to go viral.
Yes.
Very great short film! I loved it!
It's so fucking nuts that this got past planning stages, one of the most unhinged moments in TV history
I bought this movie back in 2005…. It’s so good!!
I've seen about 2 minutes and I applaud and love this already :)
A movie inspired by west side story, which is inspired by romeo and juliet, which was inspired by a greek myth. 4 layers of inspiration
Peace begins with a smile :)
Hala Halabiya u right. But let those pigs stop killing children
LOVE THIS FILM!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Dear filmmaker, I have loved this film for many years. THANK YOU. SHUKRAN JAZEELAN. TODAH RABAH.
I really loves this short film. The message of it is so cool and meaningful.
Exactly! I wish people could just try to make a deal or compromise!
Simply brilliant.

Exactly!
I saw this in social studies
same
Me too lol
Lucas Conde me too
Watched it in Hebrew school
A wonderful masterpiece of the short film. I love it
My film teacher made us watch this when I was a junior in high school hahah
So spectacular!!!! Great short!!!!!
For years I have pryed for mutyal spiritual understanding between both sides. We use the more ancient word/vibration Kodoish instead of Kadosh so that it sinks in to both people since we are cousins. Shalom.
I pray for peace as well
Very good...it's funny every single time I watch it. Good job guys.
This should have more views
Bravo excellent work by all.. I love your film.
"Let me come to your balcony tonight to annoy your parents and neighbors by singing you a really overdramatic song about feelings and love" XD
BRILLIANT!
I saw this at my camp. Now I can see it again!
Brilliant!
Had to dissect this film for my Script Writing class Final. Great video haha
Thank you for sharing this, it was funny, and I enjoy this much, and it is true we should put our differences aside regardless of our races.
It's about religions.
@@JoDeKeCh please do research. It’s not about races.
Still one of my favorite short films, and still very relevant today.
No no no. You are *NOT* about to drag the good name of Burger King and Pizza Hut through the mud!
Okay, but what about the rest of the movie?
Lovely! Very cheesy but I enjoyed it a lot! Nd hey, we(Muslims nd Jews) live in harmony here in Ohio too :D, very comedic way to portray the stupid feud between these two distant families
Amen! (From a Jew)
I second that (as a Jew).
My first thought: This is amazing
My second thought: David really reminds me of Max Schneider
Gosh what a triumph of a film!!!!!!! WOW!
So relevant.
very nice movie
brilliant!
I'm sorry (and as an American I feel bad for laughing) but this is hilarious

Walter Brynjolfson So true!!
But comedy is a way to deal with reality’s like this

As a Zionist Jew, this song makes me tear up. I also know Palestinians who love this film as well
Fabulous! It should win an academy award for short film! Very cute and also politically relevant!
It did!
I really like the film and I think it is fun to watch. I felt entertained.
still true today great flick.
Where is the free online high definition video of this? I'm seeing it in low grade 240p.
VERY CUTE!!
Amazing!
LMAOOOOOOOO SO FUNNY
I love

hhhh.....it 's just a dream ,a good one in fact !
What's it called when the guy from humus hut starts singing all majestic
funny and historical even when there were awkward moments
Beverly Hills, that's when I want to be :)
bigg like... hahahaha
Bravo!

Can somebody send me the link where I can see in High Definition? Thankyou.
8:10 That's the funniest part.
5:40 is maybe my favorite moment
see this during my cinematography lesson
.. если бы все так просто было ))
Good job! Go David & Fatima!
I fucking love it !
Love 💘✌ from NEPAL
It's not muslims vs jews, it's Palestinians vs Israelis
Exactly
It was the first type of film to present for an international conference UN; there was controversy but people said it was funny
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if only the problem was humus and felafel... no matter what your views are, lets hope for peace people!
Agree!
Here's to unbiased portrayals of camels, noble and loving creatures!
Were the palestinians played by palestinian actors? I'd be shocked if so.
sissy lou
You may have answered your ? by now. Look at all the names of ppl involved. Also do a search
Free palastine
2:01-2:15 No doubt it's referencing Fiddler On The Roof.
10:56 Donald Trump's favourite part.
18:15 Beverly Hills would be expensive. Perhaps they should go to Neve Shalom- Wahat al Salam.
Any time someone talks about Hamas I think about 7:00
14:24 remember the dancing israelis
💙💔

How or why this short film won an Academy Award is a total mystery. Awful doesn’t begin to describe it!!!
Julie McDonald FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES
Lena x what’s wrong with it
not funny
geza1116 peace begins with smiles. Not pigs killing Palestinian children
In your opinion.
This reminds me of a similar film about South Africa? You know how there used to be separation and everything? But there was no problem really, black and white south africans just didn't know how to get along. Apartheid was just in their minds innit.
נ ה ד ר מי מתנדב לתרגם???
רחל כוכבי Be the change you want to see in the world ;)
I noticed that Palastanians who started the bad ideas, why?
@@Shira-Tamir palestinians will be free.
Comments like this don’t solve anything! Look at the reply!
Cute, but intermarriage isn't the answer to anything.
That’s not at all what this is trying to say.
