The Israeli Film "Bethlehem" Never Ending Mayhem Israelis/Palestinians

"Bethlehem" is an Israeli film in both Hebrew & Arabic depicting the current, ongoing violence between Israelis & Palestinians.  This is the 1st feature film by Israeli Dir/screen-writer, Yuval Adler.  The movie starts with a game of chicken: a group of armed male teens being taunted by Sanfur (Shadi Mar'i) to fire their weapons at him while wearing a protective vest.   War is anything but a game, nonetheless, it is all consuming and devastating.  Sanfur has been manipulated by Israeli Secret Service Agent, Razi (Tsahi Halevi) to abet the capture/killing of his brother, Ibrahim; a leader in the Palestinian Resistance.  Razi is a pawn for information on terrorist's activities being plotted in Israel.  A suicide bombing in Israeli sets the Secret Service Agency in a frenzy to find Ibrahim via any tactics.   Razi speaks fluent Arabic & has established a rapport with Sanfur as a young teen through attention & bribery.  Clandestine & risky rendezvous & are orchestrated by Razi involving Sanfur. The questions of loyalties and honesty are nebulous & constantly shifting.  What remains constant, is the abhorrent killings & destruction inflicted by both sides.  The raw & brutal depiction of this portion of the Middle East conflict is relentless and extremely disturbing.   "Bethlehem" is an upfront & unforgettable film.  It demonstrates mankind's capacity for friendship & understanding.  Unfortunately, the reverberating & escalating violence abandons peace between a rock and a hard place.
