You know growing up in America, always seeing this conflict from the point of view of one side, in sound bite-sized doses, you'd think that Palestinians are nothing but a pack of murderous savages who deserve to be bombed, blown up, bulldozed, economically choked and harassed at every opportunity. The truth, as always is a bit more complex than that. Here we see what the day to day life and see them as humans with diverse viewpoints. It turns out a lot of them are against violence too and just want to live in a normal way.
Too bad though that wiser heads (on both sides) cannot beat out the entrenched power structures that actually keep their power through violence and the ongoing threat of it.
Politics aside though its quite entertaining to watch the young man driving the bus, as he is quite resourceful in his attempts to avoid both the Israelis and the PA( not always successful mind you). As he wheels and deals across the land and runs into all sorts of trouble and that to him is just a normal day, trying to live. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to observe a different culture in the day to day.
