Movie Haiku:Two Palestinian buddies living on the West Bank prepare to blow-up part of Tel Aviv. While Abu-Assad''s politics are murky, his compassion runs deep. The man of conscience (Nashef) needs to redeem his father but his buddy (Suliman) turns out to be all talk. The Israelis are just targets.
