Here is a bewitching theatrical response to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.. The play was censored by the BBC who deemed it unsuitable for broadcast as they thought it too partial, but The Guardian aired it on their website. I think the solo performance of Jennie Stoller is remarkable, in her interpretation of seven scenes of Israeli adults discussing how they will explain seven key moments in Israeli and Jewish history – among them the Holocaust, first Intifada and the recent bombing of Gaza. How do you explain violence and fear to a child?

Also here, here, and text here. And an excerpt from the text:

Don’t tell her

Don’t tell her the trouble about the swimming pool

Tell her it’s our water, we have the right

Tell her it’s not the water for their fields

Don’t tell her anything about water.

Don’t tell her about the bulldozer

Don’t tell her not to look at the bulldozer

Don’t tell her it was knocking the house down

Tell her it’s a building site

Don’t tell her anything about bulldozers.

Don’t tell her about the queues at the checkpoint

Tell her we’ll be there in no time

Don’t tell her anything she doesnt ask

Don’t tell her the boy was shot

Don’t tell her anything.

Tell her we’re making new farms in the desert

Don’t tell her about the olive trees

Tell her we’re building new towns in the wilderness.

Don’t tell her they throw stones

Tell her they’re not much good against tanks

Don’t tell her that.
