This week the Forward has an interesting article on how the producers of Rehov Simsum (רחוב סומסום) are attempting to present a fresh image of Jewish-Arab co existence, as well as a broader image of modern Israeli diversity. Grover, a curious and blue American muppet, wanders with a little girl into the Old City while military helicopters circle overhead. While filming the segment, Israeli riot police were making the usual number of arrests by the Al-Aqsa mosque. I wonder: how will little Grover try to explain such a complex political-religious situation to a new generation of Israeli youth?
