Do you want your daughter to participate in something like this?

I'm not so sure I totally buy into the idea that everyone has to be a conscientious objector. I don't know if I think there has to be chaos. That's a warning bell for me. I can't say that I would totally forfeit the fact that there should be an army here. There are certain expectations by our colleagues in the field that we should of course be against the army. I can't say that. Not only that, I want to get to the point where my Arab colleagues and friends are not going to expect that of me. If you expect me to say there shouldn't be an army, that means you think I should basically be willing to take that chance and erase my existence. Don't ask me to do that.

Yes, next year she's going to. All of this has to do with money. We're having such problems; everything's based on money. I bring her to summer camp, and she meets with Rasha, so there's some kind of connection. There's going to be a reunion and she's looking forward to it. She's been going around with me now to see the shows, and she met some other kids, and other groups, kids from Sakhnin and Misgav. She now likes girls in Sakhnin, I'm really glad about it. We were there for the weekend when I was directing that show. The fact that she is growing up... now that's going to make her confused at some point too. At some point there's going to be a bigger confusion, but at least she'll have a reference that she knows Arabs that she doesn't want to see get hurt. No matter what her idiot friends are telling her. But we're going to be doing it this year, I hope. If I had a son... Now, I'm going to get booed and hissed by people who have expectations like "he'll never go to the army." I'm not so sure I totally buy into the idea that everyone has to be a conscientious objector.
