Caption transcript for “The Wall is in Our Hands”

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

• 18:11 RAPHAEL...I COME FROM A GERMAN-JEWISH FAMILY
• 18:14 AND I REMEMBER A LINE FROM MY MOTHER...
• 18:16 "DU BIST WIE EINE BLUME"...
• 18:18 "YOU ARE LIKE A FLOWER".
• 18:19 ISRAEL'S LIKE A FLOWER...
• 18:21 THE BIBLE PREDICTS THAT ISRAEL WILL BLOSSOM
• 18:23 AND I NOTICED IN YOUR BOOKCASE IN YOUR OFFICE
• 18:25 THERE'S A PLAQUE GIVEN TO YOU FROM SOME CHRISTIANS
• 18:28 THAT TALKED ABOUT BLOOMING WHERE YOU'RE PLANTING...
• 18:31 THAT'S SO MUCH ISRAEL ISN'T IT?
• 18:33 ALL THOSE PEOPLE...
• 18:34 WHEN I SEE THE CHRISTIAN
• 18:35 WHEN THEY COME TO ISRAEL...
• 18:37 WHEN I SEE THEM
• 18:38 HOW THEY'RE BLOOMING.
• 18:40 YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MARCHING... THE FEASTS...
• 18:42 YOU SHOULD SEE THE CHRISTIAN BLOOMING...
• 18:44 YOU SHOULD SEE THEM SO HAPPY...SCREAMING...
• 18:47 GOING IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM...
• 18:49 SENDING KISSES TO EVERYONE.
• 18:51 I'M SURE THEY NEVER FELT SO HAPPY
• 18:55 AND THEY NEVER FELT SO ATTACHED LIKE WHEN THEY'RE HERE
• 19:02 AND THEY MARCH IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
• 19:04 IT'S A GREAT TESTIMONY TO JEWISH PEOPLE IN ISRAEL
• 19:07 TO SEE THE LOVE FROM THESE CHRISTIANS YES?
• 19:09 WE NEED IT SO MUCH
• 19:10 BECAUSE WE GOT SO [USE] TO BEING CRITICIZED IN AN UNFAIR WAY.
• 19:21 AS I SAID BEFORE
• 19:22 WE GET SO MUCH USED TO BEING MISINTERPRETED
• 19:28 AND NOT HAVING TO DEAL WITH EVIDENCE.
• 19:32 YOU KNOW IT'S VERY INTERESTING IF YOU TALK ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
• 19:39 I READ TODAY IN THE NEWSPAPER
• 19:42 THAT [AN] AMERICAN GENERAL FROM AFGHANISTAN,
• 19:47 HE CAME ESPECIALLY TO SWITZERLAND,
• 19:49 TO THE UNITED NATIONS
• 19:52 TO ONE OF THE PLACES TO GIVE TESTIMONY
• 19:56 THAT IF THERE IS [AN] ARMY THAT'S SO MORAL
• 20:01 AND TAKES SO MUCH CHANCES NOT TO HURT CIVILIANS...
• 20:10 ISRAEL
• 20:11 YES, ISRAELIS...
• 20:13 AND HE SAID "LISTEN IT'S UNBELIEVABLE."
• 20:16 "CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT YOU'RE FIGHTING AGAINST PEOPLE..."
• 20:21 "THAT THEY'RE SHOOTING ROCKETS TO YOUR CHILDREN"
• 20:25 "AND BEFORE YOU BOMB THEIR AREA YOU MAKE [A] MILLION PHONE CALLS..."
• 20:31 "CAN YOU IMAGINE? IT'S CRAZY."
• 20:33 "YOU MAKE PHONE CALLS TO YOUR ENEMY?"
• 20:36 "BE CAREFUL WE'RE GOING TO BOMB THIS PLACE".
• 20:39 YOU KNOW HOW MANY SPECIAL FLIERS ISRAEL'S SENT ALL OVER GAZA
• 20:46 TO "BE CAREFUL WE'RE GOING TO ATTACK TERRORISTS IN THIS SIDE AND THE OTHER SIDE".
• 20:52 BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE FACT IS NOW....
• 20:55 MAYBE THIS IS THE HAND OF GOD...
• 20:56 I SEE IT AS THE HAND OF GOD.
• 20:58 BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHAT WE SEE NOW IS AGAIN THE INTERPRETATION.
• 21:03 THEY SAW ONE PICTURE ON TELEVISION...
• 21:06 THE CHILD WAS HURT.
• 21:07 UNFORTUNATELY... UNFORTUNATELY...
• 21:11 AND THEN IT BECAME SO...
• 21:14 AND THEY HAVE THIS PROFESSIONAL... THE HAMAS...
• 21:17 AND A LOT OF MUSLIM COMMUNITIES.
• 21:19 I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR CIVILIANS
• 21:24 BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEND TO BE EXPLODED IN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM
• 21:29 OR IN BUSES...
• 21:31 THEY DON'T SEND THE CHILDREN OF THE LEADERS.
• 21:35 THEY CAN SEND ALL THE POOR AND THE MISERABLE PEOPLE
• 21:40 AND GIVE THEM STORIES ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE IN HEAVEN
• 21:45 AFTER THEY WILL KILL SOME JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 21:48 AND PROBABLY WE HAVE [A] DIFFERENT HEAVEN.
• 21:52 WE SEE THIS PLACE AS HEAVEN
• 21:56 BUT MAYBE THEY SEE HEAVEN DIFFERENTLY
• 22:00 AND WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO STAY HERE
• 22:03 AND WE NEED THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE TO COME HERE.
• 22:09 WE NEED THEM TO HELP THIS FEELING.
• 22:12 WE NEED THEM...
• 22:13 IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR OUR ECONOMY.
• 22:15 WE NEED THEM TO BE [ON] THE SAME SIDE TOGETHER WITH US.
• 22:19 WE NEED THEM WHEN THEY GO BACK...
• 22:21 TELL EVERYONE WHAT THEY SAW...
• 22:23 JUST EVIDENCE...
• 22:25 NOT INTERPRETATIONS...
• 22:27 AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE TO THINK LOUD
• 22:31 TO HAVE THE APPRECIATION ABOUT THIS COUNTRY...
• 22:35 THIS LAND...
• 22:36 THE LAND OF GOD.
• 22:38 WELL THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SOME OF YOUR TIME OUT OF YOUR SCHEDULE
• 22:41 AND I HOPE THAT IT'S CONTRIBUTED JUST TO THAT...
• 22:44 THAT IS...THAT INDIVIDUALS WILL BE MOTIVATED TO VISIT ISRAEL.
• 22:47 NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.
• 22:49 NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM.
• 22:50 THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. RAPHAEL BEN-HUR.
• 22:52 THANK YOU VERY MUCH... THANK YOU.

• 24:47 ON THIS PROGRAM WE JUST HEARD FROM RAPHAEL
• 24:52 WHO MADE AN EXCELLENT POINT ABOUT THE WAY THAT JEWS DO WAR.
• 24:58 TRUTH BE KNOWN WAR IS AN AWFUL BUSINESS...
• 25:03 SOMETIMES A MAN'S GOT TO DO WHAT A MAN'S GOT TO DO
• 25:06 AND WE HAVE TO BEAR ARMS TO DEFEND HOME AND HEARTH,
• 25:10 TO PROTECT WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OUR OWN.
• 25:13 JEWS ARE SO ETHICAL IN THE WAY THAT WE DO IT.
• 25:16 WHAT ARMIES MAKE PHONE CALLS TO PEOPLE YOU'RE ABOUT TO SHOOT
• 25:20 AND SAY TO THE CIVILIANS "YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF DODGE"?.
• 25:23 THAT'S THE JEWISH WAY, IF YOU WILL,
• 25:26 FOR AS MUCH BY THE WAY AS JEWS ARE CASTIGATED IN THE MODERN WORLD
