I think the source of the sensitivity was parents of the fallen (some of which died in recent years in the territories) who felt uncomfortable with having that exhibition davka there. "Paradise Now" - I thought it was very well made - very confronting but what made me feel uncomfortable was the sense I got of it being manipulative and deceptive. I know Lisa saw it as a call for peace but I'm not convinced and I say this as a partner to the "Meretz or Peretz dilemma". Maybe this is because I watched the film overseas.
