Audrey and Ethan as Shlomo and Liyana from Habibi: Poem for Two Voices

My name is Shlomo.

My name is Liyana.

I was born in America, but my father is a Jewish rabbi

I was born in America, but I moved to to Israel

with my family, because my dad is an Arab

I am Israeli

I am Palestinian-American

I have lots of friends

I have lots of family

What the Palestinians are doing is wrong

What the Israelis are doing is wrong

In school, I learned the Arabs have twenty-two other

countries for themselves, we only have one

The Palestinians did nothing

wrong, the Israelis just started attacking

I want the war to end

I want the war to end

I admit. . . The Israelis did do bad things

The Palestinians have done bad things

But we all want peace, so we can end this war together!
