|| Cory Gil-Shuster: Interviewing Israelis and Palestinians About How They View the Conflict

Corey Gil-Shuster, 47, is a Canadian-born Israeli who has published over 500 videos on this YouTube channel in the last four years [out of a total of 3,000 interviews]. As the creator of The Ask Project, every week he travels in Israel and the West Bank interviewing people on both sides of the conflict. “It’s seeking the truth. It started in that way. It was really about showing, first of all, what people think. And then, for me it’s very important to know what is reality and what isn’t,” he said. Gil-Shuster randomly stops people in the street or elsewhere and tries to talk with them. If they consent to being filmed with his small camera, he asks them questions that he receives from his YouTube followers from all over the world.

Quote: “ ‘I never cut or edit anyone,’ [Gil-Shuster] says. This pre-empts viewer criticism that he has chopped the videos to make a political point. He is variously accused of pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian bias, depending on the video. But Gil-Shuster says he sees the project partly as a mirror for Israelis and Palestinians to hold up to themselves.”
