to pass on the values of democracy

and equality to all our pupils.

Mrs Principal, please.

On the day of independence

the bird sang

Joy spread from the towns

unto the plains and valleys

On my national holiday,

on my national holiday...

All the people sing

in happiness and joy

How more joyful the song

on the national day of Israel

How more joyful the song

on the national day of Israel

Long live my country!

Long live my country!

Who told you

America is colonialist?

Who?

You don't say such things in class.

Lentils?

From Aunt Olga?

Didn't we say less smoking

and less fishing at night?

Guys!

Everything OK?

Excellent.

Where are you guys from?

Nazareth.

All the way from Nazareth?

Aren't you cold, fishing at night?

No.

Any fish, at least?

Yes.

ID cards?

Yes, yes.

OK, have fun!

How are you, neighbour?

Hello, neighbour.

I have a theory, neighbour.

If the Arabs were drinkers like me,

we'd have won the war long ago.

Ask me why.

When you sip

a glass or two of arak,

you get tipsy,

you see the plane two metres away,

you can grab it and bring it down!

What do you think?

I hadn't thought of that.

Neighbour, it's a question of logic.

All you need is a clear head

and some thinking.

Isn't it so, neighbour?

You won't believe

who I saw on TV.

I saw Nadia.

She was at a charity event

in aid of Palestinian refugees.

She made such a lovely speech

that King Hussein stood up,

walked over

and greeted her in person.

Girls!

Girls,

he is like her brother.

OK, girls?

He is like her brother.

He's like her brother.

President Nasser of Egypt

has declared

that the Arabs support

the international peace initiatives,

but that there is no genuine will

from the Israelis...

Neighbour!

Their leaders' recent declarations

show their refusal

to withdraw from all occupied

Arab lands. Radio Cairo...

No crossing, there's been an accident.

I have to buy parts in Tel Aviv

for my lathe shop.

Sir, I cannot help you.

You're risking your life.

Turn round and get out of here.

Help is on its way. Be patient.

Come on, evacuate the area!

Come in, Bronfman.

I'm telling you to drive off.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

That truck

is loaded with explosives!

Bronfman,

the vehicle could explode.

Sir, don't go closer!

It could blow up any second!

Bronfman,

confirm that you're reading me.

Watch out

or you'll both die together!

Did you hear me, Bronfman?

Over.

Was it you who saved me?

Are you OK?

OK.

Hello.

Is everything OK?

Guys!

Everything OK?

Everything OK.

Where are you guys from?

Nazareth.

Are you the guys from Nazareth

who fish here all the time?

Do you have your ID cards and all?

Elia Suleiman

Elia Suleiman (Arabic: إيليا سليمان‎, IPA: [ˈʔiːlja sʊleːˈmaːn]; born 28 July 1960) is a Palestinian film director and actor of Rûm Greek Orthodox origin. He is best known for the 2002 film Divine Intervention (Arabic: يد إلهية‎), a modern tragic comedy on living under occupation in Palestine which won the Jury Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Elia Suleiman's cinematic style is often compared to that of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton, for its poetic interplay between "burlesque and sobriety". He is married to Lebanese singer and actress Yasmine Hamdan. more…
