Lemon Tree

Lemon Tree is a movie that shows the conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians. It shows the division of the two sides. It also shows the conditions in which each side lives in. Jews are privileged and have power over Arabs. They can sometimes be abusive and unconscious  towards the Palestinians. The movie is about the fight between a Palestinian woman and the Israeli prime minister over her lemon trees. The trees are to be cut down for security reasons in terms of the prime minister. They take the case to the supreme court and of course, the Israeli prime minister wins and the trees are cut down.

This movie teaches different things about the conflict. The division of power between both sides, the division of power between each one of the sides. It shows all of the injustices that are going on in this conflict. It also shows how people of both sides feel about it and about each other. This movie made me feel different things about the conflict. It also inspired me because it shows perseverance and love. It shows that we have to stand for what we want and fight for it. We have to stand up for what we believe and love.
