Variations on a theme: To be Israelis - to banish the darkness 1999 Ziva Postec

6 min - Oct 17, 2007
...[In September, the Intiphada "El Akza" breaks out. And in October, during a rally in an Arab town, the police kills 13 Arab citizens. The Barak government falls, the peace process ends, the Likud party takes control, and the Israeli army goes back to Gaza and the Palestinian towns. Terror attacks resume in the streets]
Three years go by. In Hannuka 2002 the group meets again. The tone of the dialogue changes. The words "faith" and "insanity" are in the air. Where is hope buried? "Not in force" says Marzuk. "Hope can be found where there is distress, confusion and than questions".
What are the forces which unite and separate Israeli society? Is there a chance for a rich and diverse collaboration between the different ethnic communities? Or are we in the midst of the process of becoming a society?
Would the Jews who live in Israel be able, at any point, to have a dialogue with the Arab natives without being occupied by the Shoah? Is it possible?
And would the Arabs be able to accept our presence here, giving up on their dream to throw us out of here?
The film does not suggest solutions. It merely introduces the state of affairs and leaves for the spectator material for thought.
