The Complexity of Living Together in Peace

In a unique village known as Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, Jewish and Palestinian residents strive to coexist peacefully, despite the ongoing conflict around them. This community represents a beacon of hope, showcasing that individuals from opposing backgrounds can work together and build friendships. However, the pressures and horrors of the Israel-Hamas war have started to compromise the original spirit of collaboration, leading to increased polarization among residents. The discussions about military service among Jewish Israelis have also caused significant tension within the village, as these actions contradict the very ideals of peace that the community attempts to uphold.
