Israeli-Palestinian relations have never been natural material for comedy, and Shuster Eliassi confronts audiences of varied political perspectives. (“I’m only staying for seven minutes, not 70 years,” she tells the crowd at a Palestinian comedy festival.)

During a protest in West Jerusalem, she argues with a man who calls her “an enemy of the state.”
