Every few months, the world rediscovers the word peace.
A ceasefire is staged, a headline sighs in relief — and for a moment, we all pretend coexistence is possible.
But coexistence without equality isn’t peace — it’s PR.
In this episode of Out Loud, I sit down with two women who refuse to perform peace — and instead expose its price:
🎬 Amber Fares, the Lebanese-Canadian filmmaker behind Speed Sisters and Coexistence My Ass, and
🎭 Noam Shuster-Eliassi, the Israeli comedian and activist whose story and stand-up form the heart of that new Sundance documentary.
Together, we talk about:
• The danger (and necessity) of being funny in a fascist moment
• Growing up in the “Oasis of Peace” and seeing the myth of coexistence unravel
• The cost of telling the truth in a society built on denial
• How women are using comedy, art, and film to resist propaganda and reclaim empathy
“What we’re saying in this film — Palestinians have been saying for decades,” Noam makes it a point to tell me.
“If it’s easier for you to hear it from me, then that’s your homework.”
🎧 Coexistence, My Ass is about courage, laughter, and the moral clarity we need to imagine real peace — not the photo-op kind.
