| Description GER | Im Namen ihres Dorfes ist eine Utopie formuliert, die Noam Shuster Eliassi von Kindheit an geprägt hat: Newe Shalom (hebräisch) oder Wahat al-Salām (arabisch) bedeutet in etwa „Oase des Friedens“. Die kleine Community von etwa 300 Menschen aus jüdischen und arabischen Familien wurde 1969 gegründet, liegt in Israel an der Grenze zum Westjordanland und erprobt gelebte Solidarität. So werden die Jüdin Noam und ihre palästinensische Freundin Ranin schon als Kinder zu Botschafterinnen der Verständigung, etwa wenn Hillary Clinton oder Jane Fonda zu Besuch kommen. Eine Karriere bei den Vereinten Nationen scheint vorgezeichnet. |
| Description EN | The name of her village embodies a utopia that has shaped Noam Shuster Eliassi since childhood: Newe Shalom (Hebrew) or Wahat al-Salām (Arabic) roughly translates as „oasis of peace.“ The small community of about 300 people from Jewish and Arab families was founded in 1969, is located in Israel on the border with the West Bank, and practices solidarity in everyday life. As children, Noam, who is Jewish, and her Palestinian friend Ranin became ambassadors of understanding, for example when Hillary Clinton or Jane Fonda came to visit. A career at the United Nations seems inevitable. In her comedy show „Coexistence, My Ass!“, which director Amber Fares uses as a leitmotif, Shuster Eliassi strikes a harsher tone. With her career change from diplomacy to political comedy—in English, Hebrew, or Arabic, depending on the audience—the film shows her as a critic of the Netanyahu government, both before and after the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Her example also reflects the divisions within parts of the Israeli left: Shuster Eliassi’s deep pain at losing loved ones is followed by anger over the Gaza war. What can humor do in this situation? Perhaps it can help us mourn the suffering of two peoples and not give up on the utopia of peace, despite everything. |
