Palestinians were one side of the conflict. 3 out of the 7 kids were Palestinian.

The other half of the conflict was Israeli people. 4 out of the 7 kids were Israeli.

Jerusalem is the heart of the conflict and the heart of the movie.

The Middle-Eastern conflict is where the people of the Middle East are being separated because of their religion, and some have more rights than others. The children in the movie have had this going on their whole lives.

The Intifada is a term used for a rebellion, meaning, "shaking off" or "uprising." The Intifada is particularly significant to Faraj, because his friend was shot and killed during a fight.

Checkpoints are a tactic to keep Arabs out of Israeli territory by making Arabs have a liscence to get through to the Israeli land. The kids have (once again) been dealing with this their whole lives.

Prejudice is a big thing in the Middle-Eastern conflict and you can see that some of the kids in the movie have it. For example Moshie said he wanted to kill Arabs, even though he'd never met any. ("Their father killed your father!")

Refuge camps are common in Jerusalem. Sanabel and Faraj both live in the Degeishe refuge camp.

Temple Mount is sort of a no-man's land. It is a holy sight for both sides of the conflict. It seemed particularly significant to Mahmoud.

At the end if the movie, most if the children said they wanted peace among Arabs and Jews. And a lot of them that they think the only way to get peace is to know your adversary.
