Then when he saw a group of Israelis laughing he was inspired to make something they would laugh at and change any prior notions of someone who happens to be Arab . Ghazi has stated in an interview for the Huffington Post , " Call me idealistic but at the moment , sitting near these Israelis I said to myself : " Write a movie where they would laugh and forget you were Arab .
