Nobody says anything about that because none of that stuff enters anybody's head as a remote possibility in the context of this story for these characters. The entire movie takes place between dawn and dusk on the wedding day of a daughter of a pretty conservative, religious family in the Golan Heights.
It has been about a year since I saw it, so I'm not quite 100% certain that there isn't even a single instance of profanity. I remember none, though. (And if there is one or two that I'm forgetting, my bet is that it would be the Isreali cop muttering to himself in Hebrew, or maybe in a marital spat in Arabic. Seriously, though, I don't remember any.)
Younger children won't understand all of intricacies of what is going on thematically and politically in the movie, but that's a separate issue. Of course, younger children probably also will have trouble just dealing with the subtitles for the Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, and small amounts of French in the movie (English mostly being reserved for conversations between UN personnel and locals).
