Place where Liyana lives right now is
forbidden to have a friend that is Jew.

Liyana got mad because of the Jewish man
said “Why do you bother with that animal?”
(p.95)

Having Jewish friend if you are an Arab means
there is a percentage of becoming much
more friendly between Arab countries like
Palestine and Israel. Next generation might
stop the war and be friends.

Violence cannot be erased completely
from one’s memory and life. It will have life
changing effect on the lives of many from
both countries in the conflict. Teenagers of
Israel and Palestine will need time to
recover from the violence that has been in
the area for decades.
