Jews and Arabs Kiss to Protest Book Ban

6

The Israeli Ministry of Education decided to ban from the school program a book dedcribing an affair between a jewish woman and an arab man. So TimeOut Tel Aviv have decided to ask jews and arabs to meet and to kiss.

Six couples of jews and arabs - male and female, gay and straight - have decided to do the "forbidden deed" and express love infront of our camera. Some of them were couples, some just friends, some have never met prior to the shoot.

Jews and arabs refuse to be enemies.

משרד החינוך הישראלי החליט לפסול ספר המתאר רומן בין יהודיה לערבי. אז טיים אאוט תל אביב ביקש מצעירים ערבים ויהודים להיפגש ולהתנשק. 
שישה זוגות של ערביות וערבים, יהודים ויהודיות, הטרוסקסואלים וגייז הסכימו לעשות את המעשה שלא יעשה ולהפגין אהבה לעיני המצלמה שלנו.
חלקם בני ובנות זוג, אחרים רק ידידים, חלקם לא הכירו עד הצילומים.
יהודים וערבים מסרבים להיות אויבים.

وزارة التربية والتعليم الإسرائيلية، قررت تشطب وتمنع رواية حُب بين يهودية وعربي.
فطلبنا من شباب وصبايا، عرب ويهود يلتقوا ويتباوسوا.
ست أزواج، عربيات وعرب، يهود ويهوديات، متباينين جنسياً ومثليين، وافقوا على إنهم يتصوروا وينشروا حُبهم قدام كاميرتنا.
جزء منهم أزواج فعلاً وجزء مجرد أصدقاء، وجزء منهم ما كان يعرف الثاني من قبل.
العرب واليهود بيرفضوا انهم يكونوا أعداء
