It is interesting to find out more behind the recent history of the Palestinians trying to set up everything (mainly by setting up proper institutions) that is necessary to form their own state (no. 194) right next to state no. 153 (Israel) within the United Nations. But when finally all is in place for Palestine to be accepted, things seem to go awry.
Is it the fault of Israel which keeps building settlements in West Bank areas and evicting and discriminating against Palestinians? Are the Palestinians untrustworthy as they are divided within, through Hamas and Fatah? There is talk of 'negotiations', that don't happen. Israel wants to negotiate, but Palestine simply wants to be a state, which, according to several worldwide institutions, it can rightfully be.
So... why isn't Palestine accepted into the UN? Because they don't want to negotiate with Israel. That is as clear as I get the picture. So... why doesn't Palestina want to negotiate? Is that actually true? And if so, why didn't the filmmakers dig deeper into that? Or anyone else for that matter? Questions, questions. I am not someone who knows every little fact about this conflict, but the more I do get to know, the more it feels like a hopeless situation.
So... my sympathy goes out to those young and old Palestinians and Israeli trying to keep fighting peacefully via Facebook, visiting each other and courageously speaking their piece about wanting peaceful co-existence.
