Noam Schuster-Eliassi is what some people might call a
'unicorn'.

She's an anti-Zionist, Jewish-Iranian Israeli who speaks fluent
Arabic and grew up in a tiny village in Israel called the 'Oasis
of Peace', where Jews and Palestinians voluntarily choose to live
together. Noam is now the star of the new documentary
'Coexistence, My Ass!', which won the Special Jury Award at
Sundance film festival last year. The film explores her political
evolution from growing up as an Israeli poster-child of the
"coexistence movement" to becoming a standup comedian determined
to dismantle apartheid within Israel.

The two also discuss the contradiction of liberal Israelis who
are critical of Netanyahu's anti-democratic government yet don't
extend the same consideration to Palestinians living under
apartheid, as well as the barrage of hasbara that Israeli society
was exposed to after October 7.
