This documentary really moved me. Mr. Khatib is a wonderful man and, like other reviewers, I had a tear in my eye through much of the documentary. I also commend Samah and her family for recognizing what an unbelievable gift they received. I am wondering now if there is a way to donate to Mr. Khatib’s school? I will keep browsing for an answer…

Susan Desmond: To date Israel has not stopped their illegal settlements in the West Bank or the blockade of regular aid to Gaza. It is one thing to say that you want peace but actions are so much nicer. This man has made an important action that he wants peace. It is for the rest of us to follow his action.

This was a great documentary. Raw. If only you could remove the barriers and all the children could play together.

The film is noteworthy for showing, from the father’s perspective, how to turn a tragedy into an opportunity to give life to other children; that children are the main victims in this conflict–all the needless loss of young life on both sides is a constant reminder of the failure of adults to compromise for the sake of their children’s future. This film gives us hope that there are rare occassions where the human spirit triumphs over political and religious expectations

This is a remarkable documentary. I hope the producer will get permission by all parties to enter this very special,(if it has not been done yet) magnificent show in film festivals. It deserves international kudos and recognition.

What a magnificent film and incredible story. If we reach into ourselves, we can all connect with our compassion. This film reinforces again for me that we all have so much more in common than not — that we are one and the same.

I had tears in my eyes the whole show, my hearts goes to Mr. Khatib, GOD bless him. As an Israeli Palestinain I know for a fact the majority of both sides want peace. I just pray for peace, It’s so sad and heart breaking to see this madness in one of the most beautiful places in the whole globe. Peace, shalom, Saalam.

As Anne Frank said, “I believe that all people are basically good.” The father of the boy did a wonderful thing. The soldier mourns for the death of the boy. The Israelis want peace; not war where child and innocents die. When those in the Arab world who want to see the destruction of the sovereign State of Israel the violence will stop. The Israelis want more than anything to sit down at the table and carve out a meaningful peace. Shalom, Saalam
