Noam Shuster Eliassi, an Israeli comedian fluent in Arabic, has gained viral fame for her sharp satire critiquing Israel's occupation and its normalization deals with Gulf states. Her journey from peace activism and diplomacy to comedy is chronicled in the documentary 'Coexistence, My Ass!', which follows her over five years as she develops her politically charged show. Shuster Eliassi discusses her upbringing in a rare Jewish-Arab village, her disillusionment with traditional peace efforts, and her belief in humor as a tool to confront power and foster dialogue. Despite the worsening situation in the region, she continues to use comedy to bridge divides and provoke reflection, hoping her work inspires audiences to think critically and act.
