Some items on the web are ever-new or evergreen, and many of them play at this time of the year; however, “West Bank Story” may be one that plays beside the regret that things could be and could have been different eight years ago and should be and by now should have been different today.

The film’s official web site provides back-story; that I found the link earlier this day on Facebook tells how our communications environment has changed since 2005: the clip was new at first encounter, a little disappointing for having been posted in November of 2012, and now illuminating to find it traces back to 2005.

The world that does not know what to do with its hate — or understand why it has that wired into its social grammar in selective parts — may find “West Bank Story” again relevant at this time next year.  Everyone else, however, may wish it God’s speed into irrelevance and transformation into a charming artifact left to grace the lid of the dust bin of history to which the middle east conflict and much else may one day be consigned.
