Interview. Amos Gitai.

Amos Gitai "How do you feel about what's happening in Israel as we speak, with the bombing of Lebanon?" Caveh Zahedi asks Israeli filmmaker Amos Gitai in our latest interview. "I think it's very disturbing," Gitai replies. "I think that the solution to the conflict already exists and I think all this ongoing conflict is a great waste of life."

Which naturally leads to, "When you say that the solution to the conflict already exists, what are you referring to exactly?" Answer: "I'm saying that both sides already know what it should be like. We just need the political courage to make it."

Tomorrow, the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival will present the the 2006 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival Freedom of Expression Award to Amos Gitai.

It’s unlikely to become a world war. It is very possible it will become a regional war beyond Israel/Palestine/Lebanon............ but i am sure you can all agree that Hezbolla is not promoting neither the Palestinians intersts nor the interests of Lebanese.
