In the movie’s most resonant scene — a gorgeously controlled climax of tension and blackest comedy — Avner and his team find themselves accidentally sharing a safe house with their Palestinian enemies, led by a man named Ali. In the quiet of a night’s cease-fire, the two men share an exchange that feels chillingly relevant today:

Avner: You people have nothing to bargain with. You’ll never get the land back. You’ll all die old men in refugee camps, waiting for Palestine.

Ali: We have a lot of children. They’ll have children. So we can wait forever. And if we need to, we can make the whole planet unsafe for Jews.

Avner: You kill Jews, and the world feels bad for them and thinks you animals.

Ali: Yes. But then the world will see how they’ve made us into animals.
