Can’t wait to watch it again! Yours is a fresh voice not dictated by anyone or anything other than your own personal values and moral courage and I can’t get enough because you represent many of us outside of needing to belong; dictated by the voice of our own independent ecosystems and I also appreciate the language with which you describe extremely nuanced issues and in a quiet, indoor voice instead of shouting although if you shout that’s perfectly all right, too. (Unless your cat is bothered.)
OMG, I've seen that "ISIS was created by Mossad" conspiracy theory in the wild. Then of course you have western propaganda journos like Chris Hedges pushing similar ideas.
I appreciated learning about what Sharaka is doing, but my thought was that taking people on trips to Israel doesn't scale effectively.
The idea of cultural exchange is great, but arranging experiences for a self-selected group of Arab nationals who want to visit Israel is different than say, IDK, arranging security for the first Orphaned Land concert in Morocco. (Though they used to perform in Turkey.) [It's also not at all a given whether rock concerts are an effective way of destigmatizing Jews in an Arab country. Maybe broadcasting some Israeli premium TV shows in Arabic?]

You are too kind, thank you so much!

It's wild when those theories break out of containment
