Israeli cell phone commercial, internet response

Recently a cell phone commercial has caused outrage in Israel and Palestine. It features a friendly game of soccer over the separation barrier. This type of commercial is not uncommon; Coca cola typically only shows this type of commercial, in which the apparent message is Coke == love.

This ad is pissing folks off because it implies what a lot of folks would like to believe: everything is hunky dory in Palestine, and the wall is A-OK with them.

In response, some Palestinians tried the stunt by kicking a soccer ball over the wall. What they got back wasn't a soccer ball.
