For most Israelis, the idea that Jews would go into an Arab canada goose uk online store neighborhood and kidnap a boy was incomprehensible.

I just couldn’t believe that Jews could do this, and I wanted to know why they canada goose uk customer service did,” said Hagai Levi, who with Joseph Cedar and Tawfik Abu Wael wrote, directed and produced the show.

Among many Israelis also, there was a heaviness, a distressing recognition that extreme nationalism had crossed from words to actions.The summer’s events had been sparked by the June kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers by members of a Hamas terrorist cell in the occupied West Bank and culminated in a 51 day war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.Palestinians attend Abu Khdeir’s funeral July 4, 2014, in Jerusalem. (Mahmoud Illean/AP)Like the journalists cheap canada goose jacket mens who reported the news in real time, the series creators say they are aware they will probably draw fire from all sides here because of the way the events in “Our Boys” are depicted.”We’ve prepared ourselves for the backlash,” said Levi, anticipating criticism from the right wing in Israel that an Arab victim from that summer was spotlighted and not a Jewish one; outrage from the left wing that Abu Khdeir’s murderers canada goose outlet factory are given human personas; and possible unhappiness by Palestinians that the show largely glosses over the wider story of Israel’s ongoing occupation.”We know showing this side of the conflict will be hard for the Israeli public to accept,” said Cedar, whose previous film “Footnote,” about the strained relationship between an Israeli father and his son, won best screenplay at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. “But I think any backlash will have some value by sparking discussion of a very difficult subject.”For Abu Wael, who oversaw the Palestinian aspects of the show, the backlash came even before the trio twoIsraeli Jews and an Israeli Arab started filming.”I nearly pulled out a month before we started shooting because of all the pressure,” he said.Abu Wael, who comes from the Israeli Arab town of Umm al Fahm, said he received”tens of phone calls from Palestinian activists telling menot to give legitimization to the Israeli perspective” of this brutal crime.

Israeli military jets destroyed large areas of the Gaza Strip while a steady barrage of rockets were fired from the Palestinian enclave into Israel. More than 2,000 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, with 65 killed on the Israeli side.While the HBO show offers a unique insight into this particularly sensitive period in the Israeli Palestinian conflict, it explores as well the wider themes of racism and hatred stoked by nationalism and misguided religious beliefs, also touching on mental illness, the desire for revenge and the bravery of individuals willing to stand up to pressure from their own communities.
