language question and present? question
Hello people,
1. I have an open mind about languages (I speak Dutch, English and French) but you must forgive me : I cannot hear the difference between Arabic and Hebrew. That made me miss out on something rather important.
There is for instance a scene where an israeli soldier is checking up on people (he sends one israeli back because they aren't allowed). What language was he speaking? Arabic or Hebrew? Do Arabs have to speak Hebrew at these checkpoints?
In general, the young generation, what language do they speak?
The average 21 year old Israeli, does he speak English or Arabic?
What about the average soldier (well I guess there is no difference with the draft)
What about the average 21 year old Palestinian (I have seen many youngsters in the Palestinian territories speaking English but I do not know whether or not they are representative).
2. There is a scene where a bus arrives, and people get off. A soldiers is standing on guard. Where is this? A synagogue in Arab territory? And what is that one woman giving him?
Thanks,
