I just recently rented from Blockbuster a documentary on Palestinian and Israeli children. A journalist followed 7 children that live both Israel and Palestinian territory. In speaking about the conflict many people seem to forget the children that our involved. We tend to overlook that the children living in that area become extremely affected by the situation, both Israeli and Palestinian children. The journalist that shot this documentary, did a great job on equally representing both sides. I highly recommend this documentary for people to see the frustrations that arise in the Palestinian and Israeli youth. Issues such as the Israeli checkpoints, the holy places of worship, and terrorism and military involvement are covered in this film along with others. In the end, the journalist that is shooting the film, finally gets some of the Israeli children to meet with the Palestinian children where they see that there's really not that much difference between them afterall. Some parts of it brought tears to my eyes. I really enjoyed it and I'm sure others will also.

yeh nidal if u have mastered the Arabic language you can easy learn languages like Hebrew,Farsi,Urdu,Pashto,Sindhi,kur dish,aramian. so u can easily become multi lingual, and because the Arab muslims of Al-Andalus 30% of spanish is Arabic, so yeah even spanish will be easy for u insha'Allah salaam,shaloom,peace:)

what about "route 181"? Did someone saw it? ....Jenin Jenin is a great sad documentary, and when I think of the old man who was at the hospital and telling his experience ending up with tears in him than I must cry again...Unfortunatly its very hard to get palestinian movies on DVD...
