Pro-Palestine Jewish comedian: Shuster


"Coexistence, My Ass!": Israeli standup comic Noam Shuster-Eliassi uses humor to oppose Israel's occupation of Palestine
Do all lives matter? - Yes, but Jewish lives matter most. - Isn't that racist? - No, we're the victims.

Can I love Palestinians as much as Israelis?
(Democracy Now!) Oct. 29, 2025: Coexistence, My Ass! is a new comedic documentary opening today (Wednesday, Oct. 29th) in New York, highlighting Noam Shuster-Eliassi, an Israeli Jewish comedian and peace activist.

Shuster-Eliassi strives for justice and equality for Palestinians and "to make present the elephant in the room that a lot of artists [in Israel and the U.S.] prefer to ignore."

DN! also speaks with Director Amber Fares, who says the film — like others dealing with the topic of Palestine and Zionism — is struggling to find distribution in the United States but has six screenings already set up, including an opening at the IFC Center in New York City.

(Friday Night Semites) Oct. 31, 2024: Noam Shuster-Eliassi is a self-described “traitor comedian” – a Jewish Israeli artist, activist, and all-around cultural troublemaker who isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Growing up in Israel’s only intentional Jewish/Palestinian community called Neve Shalom/Wahat as-Salam ("Oasis of Peace"), Noam refused to join the Israeli Army (IDF) and instead became an organizer against Israel's occupation.

Coexistence, My A (Santa Monica)
Now, she’s turning her unique perspective into comedy that takes on everything from Israeli censorship to the contradictions of what she calls the “peace industry.”

Think of her humor as the antidote to Israel’s polished PR (psyops and propaganda posing as "public relations")—challenging, honest, and unapologetically bold.

In this episode with standup comedian Sammy Obeid, Noam breaks down her one-woman show, Coexistence, My Ass! (yes, that’s really the name), the reactions to her pro-Palestine material, and the toll of being a loud voice for human rights and equality from Gaza to the West Bank and inside present-day Apartheid Israel itself.

She also dishes out some wild stories from her time at East Jerusalem’s “Corona Hotel” quarantine, shares what it’s like to speak at international peace summits without pulling punches, and dives into her own, not-so-sanitized take on Israel’s official narratives.

This conversation gets real about the risks (and occasional rewards) of using comedy to cut through apartheid, dehumanization, and the unspoken hierarchies baked into racist Israeli society.
