The comedy was not always the sleep of Schuster, the purpose of Eliasi in life. But as real invitations do sometimes, Stand-up found this charismatic and funny intellectual. After all, the UBER FARES magnetic theme, the opening of the eye and the tremendous sympathy “coexistence, was my ass”, was wearing a great sense of humor since childhood. But I grew up as a good -intentioned poster between Israel and Palestine, and there were other priorities for her, such as the decline in the United Nations position and work in a way to preserve peace in the Middle East.
Take advantage of one of the Elisissi routine to stand as a narrative spine, funny animals often, and other times deeply with “coexistence, my ass” takes its name from the comedy show that has evolved at Harvard University at an invitation. (Her source of inspiration to write comedy? Ukrainian President Voludmir Zelinski, a former comedy.
“They woke up, the progressive leftists,” Eliasi proudly declares her presentation. “They believed that the Israelis and the Palestinians deserve the same equal human rights,” she added with a louder tone of fake bars.
The undeclared part of Eliasi’s remembrance here is what makes it vital. It means, “Human rights are not supposed to be equal, an acceptable, absolute reality that should go without saying?” As in this hidden joke and many others who follow, Eliassi often attracts an authentic belly laughing with its satire, through what you say, and also when you do not have to spell things. In this, its comedy is equal to the activity when it is taken in front of an audience and performs its groups (in Arabic, Hebrew and English) with sharp observations without fear. “Don’t worry, I will just be here for seven minutes, not 70 years,” she says to a Palestinian audience cheering. This is the same moment when those who are not aware of Eliasi’s already provocative work and the perfect comic time in her love.
While we learn throughout the film, Eliasi owes a lot of her view of the progressive world for her upbringing in Nev Shalom/Wahat Al Salam, which is the only village in Israel where the Palestinian people and the Jews live together, and they do so completely by choosing. Her family, for example, will not allow anyone to escape any notes about the Arabs. They were respected on their neighbors’ holidays. Eliasi in particular remembers how her parents chose not to take a barbecue on Israeli Independence Day in respect of the Palestinian Mourning Day. But Farhan Al -Himim still follows him when he was a Palestinian neighbor who ended up with the barbecue of kebab, where the young slept impatiently asked a piece. “No agenda, just flour!”
Eliasi tells the miracle cases when their community visited the such as Jin Fonda and Hillary Clinton and even Roger Waters, with Eliasi and her best Palestinian friend, Ranin, to become spokesperson for their city. During this time, Eliassi has become fluent in different languages (the excellent Arabic speaks, and a rare skill in its circles), and she was at the same end at the University of Brandis to study international relations, then at Harvard University, to write its presentation.
“Coexistence, my ass” was filmed over five years of seismic years, with many highlands and declines highlighted by Eliasi’s increasing as an artist who receives wide support as well as a violent reaction. Some Israelis call it social media to support Palestine more than its people. While putting a brave face that reads some medium notes on the Internet, prices confirm their increasing weight on the spirit of Eliasi. Else Israelis and Palestinians. In that routine, and many others who precede and follow it, it strongly ignores its multicultural background and its problems that dates back to one woman, which paves the way for an inspiring unit through all aspects of life.
The last chapter of the film is the most burning. Eliasi meets with a romantic interest as she is enthusiastic about her parents. But this falls on the eve of October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched an attack on Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people and taking hundreds of hostages. Military attack for months by Israel, which followed more than 46,000 Palestinians.
Eliasi is broken about everything, and even some of her progressive loved ones have seen their tune about the rights of the Palestinian. But it is still clear in its evaluation during a routine, despite those who continue to describe it as a traitor. For her, the elephant in the room used to be the occupation, which turned its words, around the West Bank and Gaza to the largest open prisons in the world. “And how different things were if we dealt with this elephant in the room in time,” it is backward. She adds that the genocide these days is the new elephant in the room that has not been treated.
Its message, that peaceful coexistence can only exist between two equal (and not between the oppressed and the oppressed) is not only an inspiring message, but also one has been proven that it is real throughout history. She wishes the day when peace becomes a reality, instead of a message outside the feeling of feeling. Although there is nothing happy about these topics, Eliasi and “coexistence, my ass” does the impossible and present radical ideas through humor. I rarely felt this serious and urgent.
