This short film that is meant to outline the problems that Israel and Palestine have been facing for a ver long time now. The film certainly has an interesting take on the conflict but it manages to highlight many of the problems in a seriously satirical style. West Bank story outlines a romeo and Juliet esque family feud between the kosher king and the hummus hut. Actually, as i am typing this I am sitting here enjoying some hummus. Anyway back to the point, the film does a good job highlighting the how ridiculous the battle between the two nations are. i did feel a bit uncomfortable watching it at first because of how racist it is but that is a part of the film and it was meant to express what it did. This film would upset sjw's but anyone who looks at it with an open mind can understand the intent the makers had. The makers meant to not offend the two groups, but to hopefully shed light on the conflict and open some minds to the absurdity of it in hope for an eventual peaceful resolution. The film certainly ignited the minds of some, but unfortunately we still see conflict today, more than 10 years after the release of the film. It is my hope that eventually with media like this and other forms of influence we can change the opinion of the worlds people and create a better future for peoples affected everyday by unnecessary conflict.
