Bethlehem



An informant for Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service, Palestinian Sanfur is torn when his brother becomes an agency target.  His tragic choice is complicated by his relationship with Razi, the boss, mentor and father figure who hired him as a teen.  Very though provoking, however very tense as the continuing struggle between Jews and Arabs continues.  There are more that two sides--on the Palestinian side are several different factions fighting other Arab factions.  Take a tranquilizer before going because nothing in this part of the world ends well.  I give it a seven. 
Stars Tsahi Halevi, Sahdi Marei, Hitham Omari, Michal Shtamla.
