Arab and Jew west bank story

The short film we watched in class with the Jews and the Arabs was absolutely hilarious  Whoever directed this was clearly not afraid to step on any toes when it came to stereotypes and racism, that takes some guts! My favorite part was when the girl at the hummis hut shot the machine gun in the air before taking the man's order. Because this film was a comedy it was able to get away with a lot without coming off as offensive. This makes me think if you have a message to send but you are afraid the public wont like it then you can just cloak it in a comedy and everyone will love it and still get to see your message.
back to the stereotypes. i'm not really sure if it is morally wrong to laugh at this kind of stuff, i hope its not cause i can't help but crack up at it. This type of film making i would not like to venture into but i'm glad some people do.
