Caption transcript for “The Wall is in Our Hands”

• 00:17 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED,
• 00:24 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
• 00:27 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
• 00:39 WITH DR. JEFFREY SEIF
• 00:43 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU.
• 00:46 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:48 PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU AGAIN TO ANOTHER EDITION OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:53 AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW?
• 00:55 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WAR.
• 00:58 WE'RE NOT TRYING TO GLORIFY IN IT...GLORY IN IT RATHER.
• 01:01 IT'S NOT A PLEASANT SUBJECT.
• 01:03 USUALLY WHEN FOLK LOOK AT WAR
• 01:05 WE LOOK THROUGH THE EYES OF THE GENERALS WHO EITHER WON THEM OR LOST THEM.
• 01:10 WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN, HOWEVER, AS WE LOOK AT THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM IN MODERNITY.
• 01:15 WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT IT THROUGH THE EYES OF A FOOT SOLDIER
• 01:18 WHO WAS THERE IN THE TRENCHES...YAKOV HETZ.
• 01:23 FASTEN YOU'RE SEAT BELTS!
• 01:25 WE'LL HEAR FROM THE PRIVATE,
• 01:27 FROM THE COMMANDER,
• 01:29 WE'LL LOOK AT THE STORY OF JERUSALEM'S COMING INTO JEWISH HANDS
• 01:34 AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS REMOVED.
• 01:37 OFF WE GO.
• 01:40 WE'RE ON THE TOP
• 01:41 OF AMMUNITION HILL
• 01:42 WHERE ONE OF THE FIERCEST
• 01:43 BATTLES OF THE SIX DAY WAR
• 01:45 IN 1967 WAS FOUGHT.
• 01:47 IT WAS HERE
• 01:48 THAT THE JORDANIAN-ARAB LEGION HAD AN ENTRENCHED POSITION IN BUNKERS
• 01:52 AND HERE THAT ISRAELI PARATROOPERS CAME AND FOUGHT A BATTLE WITH THEM.
• 01:58 THE PARATROOPERS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SINAI PENINSULA.
• 02:02 THEY HAD ORDERS AND MAPS...
• 02:03 BUT AT THE LAST MINUTE
• 02:05 AFTER JORDANIAN FORCES STARTED SHELLING WEST JERUSALEM IN THE THIRD DAY OF THE WAR
• 02:10 THEY WERE MOVED HERE.
• 02:11 WITHOUT MAPS,
• 02:12 WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY WHERE THEY WERE
• 02:15 THEY APPROACHED THIS HILL,
• 02:17 THEY FOUGHT A FIERCE BATTLE...
• 02:18 THIRTY-SIX ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE KILLED IN THAT BATTLE
• 02:21 AND YET THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE THIS POSITION IN THE END JUST ONE MILE NORTH OF THE OLD CITY
• 02:28 AND THAT OPENED THE WAY FOR THEM TO THEN ENTER THE OLD CITY LATER ON.
• 02:33 BEHIND ME...
• 02:35 THERE WEREN'T THESE BUILDINGS...
• 02:36 THERE WAS NOTHING.
• 02:38 JUST ON THE FAR HORIZON ANOTHER BUNKER NEXT TO NEBI SAMUEL, THE TOMB OF SAMUEL,
• 02:43 WHICH WAS ALSO A JORDANIAN POSITION IN THOSE DAYS.
• 02:47 BUT AS A RESULT OF THAT WAR AND THAT ISRAELI VICTORY
• 02:50 ALL THE LIFE YOU SEE BEHIND ME,
• 02:52 THE BUILDINGS,
• 02:53 THE MODERN ISRAEL CAME TO BE AFTER 1967
• 02:57 BUT IT TOOK SOME SHED BLOOD TO MAKE THAT A REALITY.
• 03:00 YAKOV HETZ, ONE OF THE HEROES OF THAT BATTLE,
• 03:04 WHO TOOK OVER WHEN HIS COMMANDER WAS WOUNDED,
• 03:07 SHOWED US SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE THIS FIERCE ENCOUNTER TOOK PLACE.
• 03:12 YAKOV YOU WERE PART OF THE ISRAELI FORCE, PARATROOP FORCE,
• 03:15 THAT CAPTURED AMMUNITION HILL,
• 03:18 THE STRATEGIC LOCATION JUST NORTH OF THE OLD CITY.
• 03:21 WHAT WAS YOUR RANK IN THE ARMY
• 03:23 AND TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BATTLE HERE.
• 03:25 I WAS A SIMPLE SOLDIER,
• 03:28 A PRIVATE IN THE END OF THE LINE
• 03:32 AND WE CAME BETWEEN THESE TWO BUILDINGS ON THE LEFT
• 03:37 AND JUST AS THERE WERE NO...
• 03:40 AND WE ENTERED HERE.
• 03:43 NOW WE KNOW.
• 03:44 AT THAT TIME WE DIDN'T KNOW
• 03:46 IT WAS THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING,
• 03:48 IT WAS DARK,
• 03:49 WE SAW NOTHING,
• 03:50 WE HAVE NO MAP...
• 03:51 NO PICTURE
• 03:52 AND NOW WE KNOW
• 03:53 THIS IS A PLACE WE CALL IT NOW "THE FIRE TRIANGLE"
• 03:57 BECAUSE AS YOU SEE THERE ARE BUNKERS BEHIND THE TANK,
• 04:01 IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FRONT
• 04:04 ON THE LEFT
• 04:05 WHICH FIRED [ON] OUR PEOPLE.
• 04:10 (Jeff speaking) YAKOV TAKES US TO A BUNKER ATOP THE FAMOUS AMMUNITION HILL...
• 04:13 WHERE...
• 04:15 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
• 04:16 AND WITHOUT A COMMANDER
• 04:18 HE WAS FIRED UPON AT POINT BLANK RANGE.
• 04:24 (David Dolan speaking) SO YAKOV HERE WE ARE AT THE TOP OF AMMUNITION HILL
• 04:26 WHERE THE BATTLE WAS RAGING,
• 04:28 YOUR COMMANDER WAS WOUNDED NEAR HERE
• 04:29 AND YOU AND SOME OTHER SOLDIERS CARRIED ON...
• 04:31 YOU FOUND YOURSELF CROUCHING IN THIS BUNKER.
• 04:33 TELL US WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
• 04:34 IT HAPPENED THAT I BECAME AS THE FIRST
• 04:37 AND AFTER MY MAGAZINE WAS FINISHED
• 04:40 SOME OF THE PEOPLE PASSED ME
• 04:43 AND THEN I CAME BACK TO BE THE FIRST
• 04:45 AND I ARRIVED HERE
• 04:48 AND HERE ZVIKA MAGEN WAS KILLED
• 04:51 AND THERE WAS MICHAEL GERTNER.
• 04:52 I DIDN'T [SEE] WHAT [WAS] GOING [ON]
• 04:55 AND THEY WERE FIGHTING IN FRONT OF ME ON THIS BUNKER FIVE METERS FROM HERE
• 05:04 AND I STARTED TO FIGHT THEM.
• 05:07 LATER THEY ASSAULT IN THE NIGHT
• 05:11 AND WE TRIED TO ASSAULT THEM...
• 05:14 THERE CAME TWO MORE SOLDIERS,
• 05:17 DAVID SHALOM AND YUDA KENDALL,
• 05:18 AND THEY HELPED ME.
• 05:20 SO THEN WE ASSAULT IN THE NIGHT...
• 05:25 WE WENT...
• 05:27 THERE WAS A SILENCE...
• 05:29 THEY DIDN'T SHOOT...
• 05:31 SO WE PASSED THE BUNKER.
• 05:33 AND WHEN WE PASSED THE BUNKER A FEW METERS LATER
• 05:37 THERE WAS ANOTHER LEGIONNAIRE
• 05:40 SO I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO THIS BUNKER TO TAKE HAND GRENADES
• 05:45 BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MANY...
• 05:47 I SAW THEY HAVE MANY...
• 05:48 I ENTERED THIS BUNKER
• 05:51 BUT WHEN I ENTERED THE REAR
• 05:54 SUDDENLY I SAW IN THE ANGLE OF MY EYE THERE WAS SOMEBODY...
• 05:58 I SHOOT HIM LIKE THIS
• 06:00 AND HE SHOOT ME
• 06:01 AND HE MISSED ME
• 06:03 AND FROM THE LIGHT OF MY RIFLE IN THIS I SAW MANY SOLDIERS BEHIND HIM
• 06:08 SO I WENT BACK TO THE BUNKER
• 06:12 AND THEN I STARTED TO FIGHT THEM AGAIN
• 06:15 AND OTHER SOLDIERS BROUGHT ME EXPLOSIVES
• 06:19 AND I SAW THE EXPLOSIVES...IT WAS 5 KILO EACH...
• 06:24 DAVID SHALOM, HE WAS HERE
• 06:26 AND HE PUT IT NEAR THIS WALL
• 06:29 AND AFTER 4 OR 6
• 06:32 AND THEY BOMBED
• 06:34 AND THIS ALSO WAS A TIME THAT WE MET THE SOLDIERS THAT CAME FROM THE OTHER SIDE...
• 06:42 THE OTHER COMPANY...
• 06:44 AND THE MAIN BATTLE WAS FINISHED HERE.
• 06:49 IT WAS 6:30 IN THE MORNING.
• 06:51 IF YOU'LL REMEMBER UNTIL NOW ABOUT FOUR HOURS OF FIGHTING.
• 06:54 HOW MANY JORDANIAN SOLDIERS WERE IN HERE
• 06:57 WHEN YOU FIRST APPROACHED IT?
• 06:58 THERE WERE FIVE SOLDIERS.
• 07:02 AND THEY SHOT AT YOU AT THIS CLOSE RANGE AND YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
• 07:05 THIS WAS...IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS...YES.
• 07:12 IT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL MIRACLE TO ME THAT YOU SURVIVED THAT.
• 07:15 YOU ARE RIGHT.
• 07:16 I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE THINGS THAT I WAS TELLING ABOUT
• 07:21 TOOK ME MONTHS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED
• 07:25 AND WHEN YOU ANALYZE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THESE FOUR HOURS...
• 07:31 EACH ANALYST WILL FIND I TRY TO TO DIE MANY TIMES.
• 07:37 IN MY DREAM I SEE HAPPEN TO ME THAT ONE OF MY GRANDFATHERS KEPT ON ME...
• 07:43 HE WAS A RELIGIOUS JEW, CHABAD,
• 07:47 AND ALSO ANOTHER GREAT GRANDFATHER OF [MINE]
• 07:54 HE WAS KILLED BY THE NAZI AND THEIR ALLIES...
• 07:58 IN LATVIA, YOU KNOW SHOOT LIKE THIS CITIZENS FROM THE SYNAGOGUE
• 08:03 AND THIS ALSO...
• 08:04 MY NAME IS JACOB...
• 08:05 HIS NAME WAS ALSO JACOB...
• 08:07 IT'S A MIRACLE...
• 08:08 IT'S A MIRACLE YOU ARE RIGHT.
• 08:19 I HEAR SOLDIERS TALK ABOUT MIRACLES IN WAR
• 08:23 AND THAT SEEMS SO MUCH THE CASE IN JERUSALEM.
• 08:27 WE HEARD DAVID ON THAT.
• 08:29 SHIMON IS GOING TO COME NOW WHO WAS A COMMANDER
• 08:33 OF THE PARATROOPERS THAT ENTERED INTO JERUSALEM THROUGH THE LION'S GATE.
• 08:38 I'VE BEEN TO THAT GATE MANY TIMES
• 08:40 AND TURNED AND STARED AT IT
• 08:43 AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM ONE OF THOSE WHO FIRST WENT THROUGH IT
• 08:47 AS WE CONTINUE ON WITH OUR STORY
• 08:50 AND LOOK AT THE RE-TAKING OF JERUSALEM.
• 08:55 YOU'RE KNOWN AS "KATCHA" HERE IN ISRAEL BY EVERYONE,
• 08:58 ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS COMMANDERS OF THE SIX DAY WAR.
• 09:01 YOUR BATTALION THE 55TH
• 09:03 TOOK THIS GATE DURING THE CONFLICT...
• 09:06 LOTS OF MEN...
• 09:07 TELL US ABOUT THAT DAY.
• 09:09 IT WAS A GREAT DAY IN MY LIFE
• 09:13 I CAN SAY
• 09:15 BECAUSE THE MINUTES THAT I CAME
• 09:19 TOWARDS THIS GATE
• 09:21 BETWEEN THE FIRST SOLDIERS
• 09:22 IT WAS BIG...
• 09:24 I CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN [TO] YOU
• 09:28 AND TO TELL YOU HOW IT WAS
• 09:30 BUT ALL THE WAR,
• 09:32 ALL THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM...
• 09:34 IT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL...
• 09:35 BECAUSE I FOUGHT BEFORE
• 09:37 AND LATER ON IN 1973 I CROSSED THE SUEZ CANAL TO EGYPT...
• 09:44 IN 1982 I WAS A BRIGADE COMMANDER AND I FOUGHT IN LEBANON...
• 09:49 SO ALL MY LIFE FROM 1952 I USED TO FIGHT FOR MY COUNTRY...
• 09:54 IT WAS [A] BIG PRIVILEGE FOR ME.
• 09:57 BUT WHEN WE FOUGHT HERE IN JERUSALEM WE FELT THAT WE STEPPED ON OUR OWN HISTORY
• 10:04 BECAUSE YOU KNOW MOST OF THE NAMES OF THE MOUNTAINS, OF THE WADIS, OF THE VALLEYS...
• 10:09 THE SAME NAMES THAT YOU CAN FIND IN THE BIBLE FROM 3,000 YEARS AGO, FROM 3,500 YEARS AGO...
• 10:18 IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
• 10:20 WE RAN HERE ON THIS ROAD IN THIS DIRECTION TO THE GATE
• 10:26 AND SUDDENLY I HEARD A NOISE OF THE HALF TRACKS
• 10:31 AND MY BRIGADE COMMANDER WITH
• 10:33 ANOTHER TWO HALF TRACKS...THREE HALF TRACKS...
• 10:35 THEY CAME AND STOOD STRAIGHT LIKE THIS...NOBODY SHOOT...
• 10:40 THEY DIDN'T SHOOT AND WE DIDN'T SHOOT
• 10:42 AND HE PASSED US AND HE KNOCKED THE DOOR...
• 10:46 HE KNOCKED THIS GATE HERE...
• 10:47 THIS GATE HERE...
• 10:48 HE KNOCKED WITH HIS CAR
• 10:50 AND THE RIGHT DOOR OPENED TO THIS PLACE LIKE YOU SEE IS NOW...
• 10:56 THE LEFT ONE FELL DOWN...
• 10:59 YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S NOT STAY[ING] ON THE PLACE...
• 11:02 TILL NOW IT'S ON THE PLACE...
• 11:04 NO...YOU'RE RIGHT...
• 11:06 YOU CAN SEE THAT ONE IT'S ON THE PLACE...
• 11:08 THIS ONE IS ON THE OUTSIDE A LITTLE BIT
• 11:11 AND HE RAN AND WE RAN AFTER HIM
• 11:14 AND HE DROVE TO THE LEFT
• 11:18 AND WE RAN AFTER HIM
• 11:22 AND HE DROVE THROUGH THAT GATE...
• 11:26 THAT GATE IS NARROW...
• 11:28 HE COULDN'T PASS THROUGH...
• 11:30 THEY LIFTED THE CARS, THE HALF TRACKS OUT
• 11:33 AND THEY RAN INSIDE AND WE RAN AFTER THEM
• 11:35 AND WE DANCED AND JUMPED AND WE CRIED...WE LAUGHED AND....
• 11:39 THIS IS THE TEMPLE MOUNT RIGHT HERE....
• 11:42 YES...YES...THAT AREA 50 METERS.
• 11:56 AND WHEN YOU HEARD THAT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE RADIO FROM YOUR COMMANDER...
• 12:00 "THE WALL IS IN OUR HANDS"....
• 12:02 I WAS NEXT TO HIM..I STOOD THERE
• 12:04 YOU WERE STANDING THERE NEXT TO HIM.
• 12:06 YES...I WAS NEXT TO HIM.
• 12:09 WHAT [CAN] I TELL YOU?
• 12:12 MY ENGLISH [IS] POOR FOR TO SAY...TO EXPLAIN WHAT I FELT.
• 12:20 (Jeff speaking) FOR THOSE WHO LIVED IN JERUSALEM IN 1967
• 12:22 THE MIRACLES AND THE MEMORIES OF THE SIX DAY WAR WILL LIVE ON FOREVER.
• 12:29 EVERY DAY THE ELDERLY PEOPLE
• 12:31 WERE JUST LISTENING TO THE NEWS
• 12:33 AND THEY WERE JUST REJOICING
• 12:35 OVER THE NEWS.
• 12:36 I SAID "WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?" "THIS IS WAR."
• 12:39 AND THEY SAID "WELL JERUSALEM IS IN JEWISH HANDS."
• 12:44 AND WE WERE JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT IT AND OF COURSE RIGHT AFTER THE WAR
• 12:49 I'LL NEVER FORGET HOW WE FOR THE FIRST TIME [WERE] WALKING IN THE STREETS...
• 12:54 WE COULDN'T GO NATURALLY BEFORE THAT...
• 12:58 AND THE FIRST TIME EVER I [SAW] THE WAILING WALL.
• 13:02 IT WAS VERY MOVING AND OF COURSE I THINK IN THOSE DAYS
• 13:06 WE HAD THIS EXCITEMENT ABOUT KNOWING THAT GOD AGAIN STOOD WITH ISRAEL
• 13:14 AND HELPED US IN A WAR AGAINST OUR ENEMIES.
• 13:17 AND I WOULD SAY IT REALLY BROUGHT THE BIBLE MORE CLOSER TO MY HEART...
• 13:26 KNOWING THAT I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN GOD...
• 13:28 I BELIEVED THAT GOD IS REAL...
• 13:32 IT REALLY BROUGHT TO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD IS REAL
• 13:35 AND HE IS STILL PERFORMING MIRACLES LIKE THE OLD DAYS.
• 13:39 AND NO DOUBT WE WERE SOLDIERS,
• 13:42 ROUGH PEOPLE,
• 13:44 BUT WE HAD TEARS IN OUR EYES
• 13:46 BECAUSE WE JUST GOT THE NEWS THEN
• 13:48 THAT OUR FRIENDS ARE FIGHTING NOW ON THE AMMUNITION HILL.
• 13:53 AND ACTUALLY WE BELONG TO THE SAME UNIT
• 13:55 BUT THEY WERE IN RESERVES AND WE WERE IN THE REGULAR ARMY.
• 13:58 WHEN THE WAR FINISHED YITZHAK RABIN, [WHO] WAS THE CHIEF OF STAFF IN THOSE DAYS...
• 14:04 HE CALLED ALL THE PARATROOPERS
• 14:06 SO WE WERE WITH OUR FRIENDS THERE IN THE AREA,
• 14:10 IN THE AMMUNITION HILL, SEEING WHERE THEY WERE FIGHTING
• 14:13 AND THEN HE TOOK US TO THE MOUNTAIN THERE, MOUNT SCOPUS,
• 14:17 WHERE THE UNIVERSITY [IS] NOW
• 14:19 AND THERE IS A...OUT THERE
• 14:22 AND HE WAS STANDING THERE FACING US...WE WERE FACING EAST,
• 14:27 EDOM MOUNTAINS...
• 14:29 MOAB MOUNTAINS...
• 14:30 SEEING THE JORDAN RIFT...
• 14:32 SEEING THE PLACE WHERE LOT CHOSE TO GO DOWN WHEN ABRAHAM TOLD HIM GO TO THE RIGHT, GO TO THE LEFT.
• 14:38 NOW ALL THESE FEELINGS CAME TO ME THAT I'M FOR THE FIRST TIME..
• 14:43 I WAS BORN IN JERUSALEM AND WAS IN JERUSALEM
• 14:45 BUT I NEVER SAW THIS KIND OF THE THING.
• 14:47 AND AGAIN I'M BACK IN THE CITY WHICH ALWAYS...
• 14:53 ALWAYS WAS AND WILL BE

• 18:12 RAPHAEL...I COME FROM A GERMAN-JEWISH FAMILY
• 18:15 AND I REMEMBER A LINE FROM MY MOTHER...
• 18:17 "DU BIST WIE EINE BLUME"...
• 18:19 "YOU ARE LIKE A FLOWER".
• 18:20 ISRAEL'S LIKE A FLOWER...
• 18:22 THE BIBLE PREDICTS THAT ISRAEL WILL BLOSSOM
• 18:24 AND I NOTICED IN YOUR BOOKCASE IN YOUR OFFICE
• 18:26 THERE'S A PLAQUE GIVEN TO YOU FROM SOME CHRISTIANS
• 18:29 THAT TALKED ABOUT BLOOMING WHERE YOU'RE PLANTING...
• 18:32 THAT'S SO MUCH ISRAEL ISN'T IT?
• 18:34 ALL THOSE PEOPLE...
• 18:35 WHEN I SEE THE CHRISTIAN
• 18:36 WHEN THEY COME TO ISRAEL...
• 18:38 WHEN I SEE THEM
• 18:39 HOW THEY'RE BLOOMING.
• 18:41 YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MARCHING... THE FEASTS...
• 18:43 YOU SHOULD SEE THE CHRISTIAN BLOOMING...
• 18:45 YOU SHOULD SEE THEM SO HAPPY...SCREAMING...
• 18:48 GOING IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM...
• 18:50 SENDING KISSES TO EVERYONE.
• 18:52 I'M SURE THEY NEVER FELT SO HAPPY
• 18:56 AND THEY NEVER FELT SO ATTACHED LIKE WHEN THEY'RE HERE
• 19:03 AND THEY MARCH IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
• 19:05 IT'S A GREAT TESTIMONY TO JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISRAEL
• 19:08 TO SEE THE LOVE FROM THESE CHRISTIANS YES?
• 19:10 WE NEED IT SO MUCH
• 19:11 BECAUSE WE GOT SO [USE] TO BEING CRITICIZED IN AN UNFAIR WAY.
• 19:22 AS I SAID BEFORE
• 19:23 WE GET SO MUCH USED TO BEING MISINTERPRETED
• 19:29 AND NOT HAVING TO DEAL WITH EVIDENCE.
• 19:33 YOU KNOW IT'S VERY INTERESTING IF YOU TALK ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
• 19:40 I READ TODAY IN THE NEWSPAPER
• 19:43 THAT [AN] AMERICAN GENERAL FROM AFGHANISTAN,
• 19:48 HE CAME ESPECIALLY TO SWITZERLAND,
• 19:50 TO THE UNITED NATIONS
• 19:53 TO ONE OF THE PLACES TO GIVE TESTIMONY
• 19:57 THAT IF THERE IS [AN] ARMY THAT'S SO MORAL
• 20:02 AND TAKES SO MUCH CHANCES NOT TO HURT CIVILIANS...
• 20:11 ISRAEL
• 20:12 YES, ISRAELIS...
• 20:14 AND HE SAID "LISTEN IT'S UNBELIEVABLE."
• 20:17 "CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT YOU'RE FIGHTING AGAINST PEOPLE..."
• 20:22 "THAT THEY'RE SHOOTING ROCKETS TO YOUR CHILDREN"
• 20:26 "AND BEFORE YOU BOMB THEIR AREA YOU MAKE [A] MILLION PHONE CALLS..."
• 20:32 "CAN YOU IMAGINE? IT'S CRAZY."
• 20:34 "YOU MAKE PHONE CALLS TO YOUR ENEMY?"
• 20:37 "BE CAREFUL WE'RE GOING TO BOMB THIS PLACE".
• 20:40 YOU KNOW HOW MANY SPECIAL FLIERS ISRAEL'S SENT ALL OVER GAZA
• 20:47 TO "BE CAREFUL WE'RE GOING TO ATTACK TERRORISTS IN THIS SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE".
• 20:53 BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE FACT IS NOW....
• 20:56 MAYBE THIS IS THE HAND OF GOD...
• 20:57 I SEE IT AS THE HAND OF GOD.
• 20:59 BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHAT WE SEE NOW IS AGAIN THE INTERPRETATION.
• 21:04 THEY SAW ONE PICTURE ON TELEVISION...
• 21:07 THE CHILD WAS HURT.
• 21:08 UNFORTUNATELY... UNFORTUNATELY...
• 21:12 AND THEN IT BECAME SO...
• 21:15 AND THEY HAVE THIS PROFESSIONAL... THE HAMAS...
• 21:18 AND A LOT OF MUSLIM COMMUNITIES.
• 21:20 I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR CIVILIANS
• 21:25 BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEND TO BE EXPLODED IN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM
• 21:30 OR IN BUSES...
• 21:32 THEY DON'T SEND THE CHILDREN OF THE LEADERS.
• 21:36 THEY CAN SEND ALL THE POOR AND THE MISERABLE PEOPLE
• 21:41 AND GIVE THEM STORIES ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IN HEAVEN
• 21:46 AFTER THEY WILL KILL SOME JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 21:49 AND PROBABLY WE HAVE [A] DIFFERENT HEAVEN.
• 21:53 WE SEE THIS PLACE AS HEAVEN
• 21:57 BUT MAYBE THEY SEE HEAVEN DIFFERENTLY
• 22:01 AND WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO STAY HERE
• 22:04 AND WE NEED THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE TO COME HERE.
• 22:10 WE NEED THEM TO HELP THIS FEELING.
• 22:13 WE NEED THEM...
• 22:14 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR ECONOMY.
• 22:16 WE NEED THEM TO BE [ON] THE SAME SIDE TOGETHER WITH US.
• 22:20 WE NEED THEM WHEN THEY GO BACK...
• 22:22 TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY SAW...
• 22:24 JUST EVIDENCE...
• 22:26 NOT INTERPRETATIONS...
• 22:28 AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE TO THINK LOUD
• 22:32 TO HAVE THE APPRECIATION ABOUT THIS COUNTRY...
• 22:36 THIS LAND...
• 22:37 THE LAND OF GOD.
• 22:39 WELL THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SOME OF YOUR TIME OUT OF YOUR SCHEDULE
• 22:42 AND I HOPE THAT IT'S CONTRIBUTED JUST TO THAT...
• 22:45 THAT IS...THAT INDIVIDUALS WILL BE MOTIVATED TO VISIT ISRAEL.
• 22:48 NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.
• 22:50 NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.
• 22:51 THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. RAPHAEL BEN-HUR.
• 22:53 THANK YOU VERY MUCH... THANK YOU.

• 24:53 WHO MADE AN EXCELLENT POINT ABOUT THE WAY THAT JEWS DO WAR.
• 24:59 TRUTH BE KNOWN WAR IS AN AWFUL BUSINESS...
• 25:04 SOMETIMES A MAN'S GOT TO DO WHAT A MAN'S GOT TO DO

• 25:11 TO PROTECT WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OUR OWN.
• 25:14 JEWS ARE SO ETHICAL IN THE WAY THAT WE DO IT.
• 25:17 WHAT ARMIES MAKE PHONE CALLS TO PEOPLE YOU'RE ABOUT TO SHOOT
• 25:21 AND SAY TO THE CIVILIANS "YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF DODGE"?.
• 25:24 THAT'S THE JEWISH WAY, IF YOU WILL,
• 25:27 FOR AS MUCH BY THE WAY AS JEWS ARE CASTIGATED IN THE MODERN WORLD
