About the Show:
An American show that might just bring peace to the Middle East makes its European debut. ‘The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Romantic Comedy’ tracks the notorious Middle Eastern Conflict back to a botched one-night stand at the 1948 Geneva Convention.
The newly formed country and the aspiring territory totally had sex, then Israel didn’t call, then Palestine got angry, then Israel argued with Palestine’s friends, and then some land was occupied… But somewhere in the middle of all the chaos, in the middle of all the wars, and the embarrassing run-ins, rebound relationships, and pint-after-pint of ice cream therapy, Palestine and Israel may have found LOVE.
