The Nation...

No more Nation.

What's left is All The Arabs.

All The Arabs for free!

All The Arabs for free!

This fourth anniversary of March 30th

has been commemorated

by the Palestinians of 1948.

Thousands of Palestinians

took to the streets

to protest against Israel's

continued land annexation policy.

In Nazareth and Galilee,

banners proclaimed:

"We are staying!"

A number of demonstrators were injured

in clashes with the police.

Dozens of them

were arrested and imprisoned.

How are you, neighbour?

Hello, neighbour.

Neighbour, you see my son here?

My son's f***ed

all the mothers in town.

And me,

I f***ed his mother.

You understand me, neighbour?

Of course, neighbour.

They threaten us with prison.

Neighbour...

You don't threaten a whore

with a dick!

Isn't it so, neighbour?

Hello, neighbour.

Come in, neighbour.

Do you have an atlas?

Close your eyes,

pick somewhere and go!

Why?

He's been denounced.

He has 24 hours to leave the country.

Our soul! Our blood!

For you, Palestine!

Our soul! Our blood!

For you, Palestine!

One, this is 6-9. Over.

have been spotted

around

the northbound gas station.

The commander wants to know

what's going on. Over.

dispersing a burning-tyre incident.

One, this is 6-9.

for questioning. Over.

One, this is 6-9. Five is heading

to the petrol station...

Elia Suleiman?

Tabouleh. I made it light on the bulgur,

the way you like it.

Let me know what you think.

I'll see you later.

Have a good night.

And welcome home.

Did you hear the shooting

last night?

A drug war

between two families.

The town

has become unrecognisable.

You catch someone's eye

and he draws a gun!

Recently, a circus made the mistake

of coming to town.

Abu Borkan, the dog thief,

usually steals dogs,

went and stole their elephant!

He painted it lilac

so no one'd know it was an elephant.

To attract tourists the municipality

built a tourist village.

Like Nazareth 2000 years ago.

With Joseph, Mary,

a few sheep and a donkey.

The next day,

the sheep had all gone.

On the Feast

of the Virgin Mary,

during the fireworks

they cut the padlocks.

The barbecues

were going non-stop!

The lamb kebabs

were flying that night!

Do you want green beans?

No, we don't.

- 10 shekels.

- I don't want any.

Please take them.

I don't want any. Go away.

I don't have the bus fare home.

Didn't you hear? Get lost!

- Where are you from?

- Jenin.

Do you have an entry permit for Israel?

Where's your ID?

If you don't have a permit,

I'll take you to the police.

Just go.

Then give me a cigarette.

So...

I see you're not whistling today.

Ramallah.

Please...

Ramallah, please.

Go home!

Me go home?

You go home!

Hi. It's been a while.

Where you been?

We miss you.

Why don't you call?

Come round for a drink.

I got a bunch of

totally awesome new songs!

You've got to hear them.

Look, there's a party

at The Stones tonight.

There's this mind-blowing DJ!

Everyone'll be there.

You should come.

Great, great...

See you, man.

To the residents of Ramallah.

Curfew, curfew!

To the residents of Ramallah.

Curfew, curfew!

To the residents of Ramallah.

Curfew, curfew!

To the residents of Ramallah.

Curfew, curfew!

Welcome back.

Hope she's better soon.

They've given him sedatives

and a vitamin drip.

You'd better come.

His condition isn't good.

What happened?

A feud between two families.

We mediated.

They hugged and kissed,

then they set on us!

Get better soon.

Doctor, I got this recurring problem.

You've got to help me.

I'm listening.

I'm at a red light,

I take out a cigarette

and push the cigarette lighter.

It pops out, I drive!

- I've had four accidents so far.

- You got a serious problem.

ER, quick!

Hello?

I'll be dead for ten minutes.

I'll call you back later, OK?

No, it's nothing.

I came to see my cousin

in hospital.

Some mates called from a bar

so I went to meet them.

On the way out, a glass in my hand,

I step on this guy's foot.

"Open your eyes," he says,

so I offer him my beer.

The motherf***er refuses it,

I chuck it in his face

and punch him.

His mates pitch in

so I slice them up with my knife.

When I get back to the hospital,

the guys I slashed are all here.

They see me and run.

Then I felt my hand hurting

so they took me to x-ray.

In fact, when I was punching him,

I'd hit him once,

he'd dodge

and I'd hit the asphalt.

One to the face, one to the asphalt:

I broke my hand!

Thanks. See you later.

Goodbye.

To the memory of my mother and father

He is best known for the 2002 film Divine Intervention (Arabic: يد إلهية‎), a modern tragic comedy on living under occupation in Palestine which won the Jury Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
