A washing machine is deliberately  pushed from the roof of a building as the patrol moves past, killing one of the soldiers.  The perpetrator cannot be found. Four of the young soldiers are assigned to uncomfortable, boring, surveillance duty atop the roof, interacting with the Arab family that lives in the building.[1][2][3]There is a dual focus lives in fear of being accused of collaborating with the Israeli soldiers, and on the young soldiers: sensitive, clean-cut Tomer (Yon Tumarkin);  Haim (Iftach Rave) whose crude complaining about the food and his intestinal distress gives the film some laughs; feisty, hotheaded Aki (Roy Nik) who challenges the group’s leader, marijuana-smoking  Ariel (Yotam Ishay), who will muster out of his mandatory army service if he survives the next few weeks.[1]Yon Tumarkin as TomerYotam Ishay as ArielRoy Nik as AkiIftach Rave as HaimHenry David as IlyaLavi Zitner as IzacShmulik Chelben as IsraelKhaula Al Haji-Daibsi as SamiraAdel Abou Raya as MuchamadOr Ben-MelechAngel BonanniAbdallah El AkalVladimir FreedmanOfer RuthenbergCritical reception[edit]Rock the Casbah won the Berlin International Film Festival’s C.I.C.A.E. award in 2013.[4]Jordan Hoffman of Film.com called the film “worth seeing and discussing” and gave it 7.3 out of 10, noting that it “succinctly expresses just how difficult and intractable the [Israeli\u2013Palestinian conflict] is”, and that “it is essential to encourage films that do not demonize the individuals on either side of the conflict.”[5] Another reviewer rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and remarked that it is “thoughtful in its representation of thoughtlessness, and curiously poetic”.[6] However, Dan Fainaru of Screen Daily argued that the film “attempts to offer an even-handed portrait of their confrontation with the Arab population, but ends up as an impressionistic report rather than a full scale dramatic experience”,[7] and Alissa Simon of Variety added that “the script fails to offer something viewers haven\u2019t seen before.”[8]References[edit]^ a b c Simon, Alissa (11 February 2013). “Rock the Casbah”.
