“You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, a 2008 film, starring Adam Sandler (Zionist Jew) has a plot centered on a fictional Israeli counterterrorist agent who fakes his death to pursue his dream of becoming a hairstylist in New York.

The movie incorporates Palestinian characters and themes, particularly through the character of a Palestinian taxi driver (played by Rob Schneider) and a Palestinian salon owner (played by Emmanuelle Chriqui), who becomes Zohan’s love interest. The film uses satire and broad comedy to tackle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, aiming to bridge the divide through humour and common human desires.”
