• 00:46 Myles: SHALOM AND WELCOME
• 00:47 TO AN UPDATED SERIES,
• 00:49 "THE STONES CRY OUT."
• 00:50 THIS IS A WORK THAT ZOLA AND
• 00:52 TOM McCALL DID BACK IN THE '90s,
• 00:54 UNEARTHING THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL
• 00:56 EVIDENCE OF BIBLICAL TRUTH.
• 00:58 AND WE'RE THRILLED
• 00:59 TO BRING THIS TO YOU TODAY.
• 01:00 YOU KNOW, THIS VERY TITLE
• 01:02 IS BASED ON THE VERSE
• 01:03 FROM LUKE 19:40 WHERE JESUS SAID
• 01:06 THAT IF THE DISCIPLES
• 01:07 DIDN'T PRAISE HIM,
• 01:08 THE VERY STONES WOULD CRY OUT.
• 01:10 AND THEY ARE CRYING OUT
• 01:11 FROM ISRAEL, AREN'T THEY?
• 01:13 Katharine: CRYING OUT TODAY.
• 01:14 EACH AND EVERY DAY, THERE ARE
• 01:15 NEW ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIGS THAT ARE
• 01:17 BEING DISCOVERED THAT ARE
• 01:18 UNEARTHING HOW REAL THE BIBLE IS
• 01:22 AND HOW MUCH WE CAN KNOW.
• 01:24 OUR CAMERA CREW GOES FROM DAN
• 01:26 TO THE DEAD SEA,
• 01:27 FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN TO PETRA,
• 01:30 SHOWING AND TESTIFYING
• 01:32 OF THESE WONDERFUL STORIES.
• 01:34 Myles: IT'S REALLY AMAZING.
• 01:35 THERE'S SUCH CONTROVERSY TODAY.
• 01:37 THERE ARE SO MANY POLITICAL
• 01:38 VIEWS TRYING TO INTERFERE WITH
• 01:40 THE SCIENCE OF ARCHAEOLOGY
• 01:42 AND THE WAY THAT UNEARTHS
• 01:44 THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE.
• 01:45 WELL, WE GET A CHANCE
• 01:46 IN THIS SERIES TO SHOW YOU HOW
• 01:48 THE STONES ARE CRYING OUT
• 01:50 AND HOW THE VERY EARTH
• 01:51 IS VERIFYING
• 01:52 THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE.
• 01:53 IN THIS FIRST SEGMENT, ZOLA'S
• 01:56 GOING TO SPEAK TO DANNY BAHAT.
• 01:57 AND TOM McCALL
• 01:58 WILL SPEAK WITH DAVID DOLAN.
• 02:00 AND DANNY BAHAT IS GOING
• 02:01 TO SPEAK ABOUT THE UNEARTHING
• 02:02 OF THE HASMONIAN TUNNELS
• 02:04 AND THE TIME OF THE MACCABEES
• 02:06 AND HOW WHEN THAT WAS BROUGHT
• 02:07 OUT, ARAFAT, BACK IN THE DAY,
• 02:10 HE SAID THAT IT WAS INTERFERING
• 02:12 WITH THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE
• 02:13 AND IT CAUSED RIOTS
• 02:14 IN WHICH 70 PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
• 02:16 Katharine: IT'S SUCH A SHAME
• 02:17 THAT OUR NEWS REPORTERS
• 02:20 DIDN'T EVEN GO DOWN AND SEE
• 02:22 WHAT WAS BEING PROMOTED AS
• 02:25 SOMETHING THAT WAS INTERFERING
• 02:27 WITH MUSLIM HOLY SITES.
• 02:29 Myles: EXACTLY
• 02:30 Katharine: THIS IS WHY WE NEED
• 02:31 YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS SO MUCH
• 02:33 DURING THIS TIME,
• 02:34 SO WE COULD ACCURATELY SHOW YOU
• 02:35 WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE LAND.
• 02:37 WE TAKE YOU TO ISRAEL AND
• 02:39 ACCURATELY SHOW YOU WHAT'S GOING
• 02:41 ON THROUGH THE SCRIPTURE'S EYE.
• 02:43 Myles: EXACTLY
• 02:44 AND SO NOW LET'S GO TO ZOLA
• 02:45 ON LOCATION WITH DANNY BAHAT.
• 02:49 Danny: THAT'S A VIEW
• 02:50 OF THE OLD CITY FROM THE NORTH.
• 02:52 YOU CAN SEE THE PRAYING PLAZA,
• 02:53 WHICH IS HERE.
• 02:54 OUR TUNNELS GO ALL THE WAY ALONG
• 02:56 THE WESTERN WALL AND THIS IS
• 02:58 THE POINT WHERE WE GO INTO
• 03:00 THE MACCABEAN AQUEDUCT WHICH
• 03:02 GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HERE,
• 03:04 PAINTED IN BLUE.
• 03:05 THE LAST PART IS THE PART
• 03:07 THAT THE OFFICIAL TUNNEL
• 03:08 WAS MADE TO GO OUT HERE.
• 03:09 WE MADE THIS PLAN
• 03:11 IN ORDER TO SHOW, REALLY,
• 03:12 THAT WE'VE GOT NOTHING TO DO
• 03:14 WITH THE TEMPLE MOUNT PRECINCT.
• 03:15 WE ARE ALL THE WAY OUT
• 03:17 AND YOU SEE WE CAME EVEN FURTHER
• 03:19 FROM THE ABUTTING WALL TUNNEL
• 03:21 WHICH WE HAD BEFORE.
• 03:22 WE WENT ALL THE WAY,
• 03:23 AS FAR AS POSSIBLE,
• 03:25 TO ONE OF THE WIDEST STREETS
• 03:26 IN THE OLD CITY OF JERUSALEM.
• 03:27 Zola: THE ENTRANCE TO THE TUNNEL
• 03:28 IS HERE ON THE MAP
• 03:30 AND LOCATED ADJACENT
• 03:31 TO THE WESTERN WALL PLAZA.
• 03:33 DANNY AND I BEGAN OUR JOURNEY
• 03:35 AT THIS POINT.
• 03:37 THE LABYRINTH OF NARROW PASSAGES
• 03:39 IS MORE THAN 400 YARDS LONG
• 03:41 AND REVEALS OVER 2,000 YEARS
• 03:43 OF HISTORY.
• 03:44 THE FIRST SEGMENT OF THE TUNNEL
• 03:46 IS AN ARCHED WALKWAY
• 03:47 BUILT BY THE MAMLUKES
• 03:48 SOME 700 YEARS AGO.
• 03:50 ITS PURPOSE IS TO SUPPORT
• 03:52 THE ROADWAY ABOVE.
• 03:54 A FEW HUNDRED FEET FURTHER,
• 03:56 THE PASSAGEWAY OPENS INTO
• 03:57 A SPECTACULAR SUBTERRANEAN ROOM.
• 04:00 THE FINELY FASHIONED STONES
• 04:02 OF THIS HERODIAN STRUCTURE
• 04:04 SPEAK OF A JEWISH LEGACY DATING
• 04:05 BACK TO THE SECOND TEMPLE.
• 04:08 DANNY BAHAT EXPLAINS.
• 04:10 Danny: THIS ROOM, IT DATES FROM
• 04:11 THE TIME OF HEROD THE GREAT.
• 04:13 ACTUALLY, IT IS
• 04:15 THE ONLY BUILDING, HITHERTO,
• 04:17 FOUND IN THE COUNTRY,
• 04:19 ALL BUILT OF ASHLA, WHICH MEANS
• 04:21 SQUARE-CAST STONES IN SUCH
• 04:23 A MANNER IN THE MINOR BUILDING,
• 04:25 BECAUSE WE KNOW WE HAVE MASONRY,
• 04:28 BEAUTIFUL ASHLA MASONRY
• 04:29 ON THE WESTERN WALL IN THE CAVE
• 04:31 OF THE PATRIARCHS AT HEBRON.
• 04:33 BUT THERE'S A KIND OF A ROOM.
• 04:34 THIS IS THE FIRST ONE HITHERTO
• 04:36 DISCOVERED IN SUCH A SHAPE.
• 04:38 WHAT IS IT, REALLY, FROM HEROD'S
• 04:39 TIME, I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
• 04:42 THERE ARE MANY SUGGESTIONS LIKE
• 04:43 THE CHAMBER OF ASHLA, WHICH WAS
• 04:45 A SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL
• 04:47 DURING THE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD,
• 04:48 BUT I DON'T KNOW.
• 04:49 Zola: YES
• 04:50 Danny: BUT, OTHERWISE,
• 04:51 IT MUST HAVE BEEN A BUILDING
• 04:52 OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
• 04:53 THE PROBLEM IS THAT ITS SHAPE
• 04:55 WAS COMPLETELY DISTORTED
• 04:57 DURING THE EARLY ARAB PERIOD
• 04:59 WHEN IT WAS USED
• 05:00 AS A KIND OF A WORKSHOP,
• 05:01 WHERE THEY SMELTED METAL,
• 05:03 BECAUSE WHEN WE EXCAVATED HERE,
• 05:04 WE FOUND MANY SLAGS
• 05:07 AND OTHER FURNACES
• 05:08 AND ALL KIND OF THINGS.
• 05:10 WE, OF COURSE, CLEANED IT,
• 05:11 IN ORDER TO BRING IT
• 05:12 TO THE SHAPE AS IT WAS,
• 05:13 MORE OR LESS, AS IT WAS DURING
• 05:15 THE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD...
• 05:16 LET'S SAY THE TIME OF CHRIST.
• 05:18 NOW, ALL TOGETHER,
• 05:19 WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY,
• 05:20 THAT WALKING ALL THE WAY HERE,
• 05:22 WE WALKED UNDER DOMES AND VAULTS
• 05:25 WHICH DATE FROM
• 05:26 THE LATE MEDIEVAL, NAMELY FROM
• 05:28 WHAT WE CALL THE MAMLUKE PERIOD,
• 05:29 14th, 15th CENTURY,
• 05:31 AND WE CAME DOWN TO THIS PLACE
• 05:33 WHICH IS 1st CENTURY B.C.
• 05:34 Zola: OKAY, AS WE WENT
• 05:36 DOWNSTAIRS, OF COURSE, WE WENT
• 05:38 BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS...
• 05:39 A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 05:40 Danny: IT'S TRUE.
• 05:41 THAT'S THE IDEA BECAUSE,
• 05:42 YOU SEE, THE SYSTEM OF TUNNELS
• 05:46 WHERE WE ARE NOW,
• 05:47 WHICH STARTED TO BE AND WHICH
• 05:49 THEY STARTED TO DIG IN 1968,
• 05:52 FOLLOWING THE SIX DAY WAR,
• 05:54 THIS SYSTEM OF TUNNELS I THINK
• 05:57 TODAY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SITE
• 05:58 IN JERUSALEM.
• 05:59 WHY, BECAUSE THE HISTORY
• 06:01 OF JERUSALEM HAS UNDERGONE MANY
• 06:03 VICISSITUDES DURING HISTORY.
• 06:05 AND IN THESE TUNNELS
• 06:07 EVERY PERIOD OF THOSE PERIODS
• 06:09 IS SOMEHOW REPRESENTED.
• 06:11 IT MAY BE, FOR EXAMPLE,
• 06:12 THE EARLY ARAB, IT APPEARS,
• 06:14 IS PRESENTED BY REPAIRED WALLS
• 06:16 OF THE WESTERN WALL.
• 06:17 THE MAMLUKE,
• 06:18 THEY COVERED THE WESTERN WALL
• 06:20 IN ORDER TO LIFT
• 06:22 OR, ACTUALLY, TO, YES, TO RAISE
• 06:25 THE LEVEL OF THE OLD CITY
• 06:26 TO THE PRESENT LEVEL
• 06:28 BECAUSE OF VARIOUS OTHER REASONS
• 06:30 TO WHICH WE WILL REFER LATER.
• 06:31 AND ALL TOGETHER EVERY PERIOD
• 06:33 IS REPRESENTED SOMEHOW.
• 06:35 THIS ROOM IS ACTUALLY THE ACME
• 06:38 OF THE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD
• 06:40 IF WE DON'T SPEAK ABOUT
• 06:41 THE WESTERN WALL,
• 06:42 BECAUSE THE WESTERN WALL,
• 06:43 OF COURSE, IS THE REASON
• 06:44 FOR THE WHOLE THING.
• 06:45 Zola: NOW, THIS, RUNNING
• 06:47 NEARBY HERE, ARE TWO TUNNELS.
• 06:50 THE ONE I UNDERSTOOD
• 06:51 THE ARCHAEOLOGIST BUILT IN ORDER
• 06:52 TO STUDY ALONG THE WESTERN WALL.
• 06:55 THE OTHER IS THE ONE
• 06:56 THAT WAS IN THE NEWS RECENTLY.
• 06:57 Danny: YES, WE HAVE EXCAVATED
• 06:59 TWO OF THEM.
• 07:00 ACTUALLY, THE FIRST ONE,
• 07:02 AS YOU SAID,
• 07:03 IS AN ARTIFICIAL TUNNEL BORED
• 07:05 BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS SINCE 1968
• 07:08 IN ORDER TO EXPOSE
• 07:09 THE WESTERN WALL.
• 07:11 WE WENT ALONG ALL KINDS
• 07:12 OF SYSTEMS OF RETAINING WALLS,
• 07:14 VAULTS, ARCHES, ALL KIND OF
• 07:16 THINGS WHICH ARE STILL TO BE
• 07:18 ANALYZED BUT IN PRINCIPLE
• 07:19 WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE.
• 07:21 AT THE END OF IT, WE CAME
• 07:24 INTO A TUNNEL WHICH WAS BOUGHT
• 07:26 BY THE MACCABEES
• 07:27 NAMELY IN THE 2nd CENTURY B.C.
• 07:30 IT IS CALLED EITHER MACCABEES OR
• 07:32 HASMONEANS, WHICH IS SYNONYMS.
• 07:34 Zola: ABOUT 200 YEARS
• 07:35 BEFORE CHRIST.
• 07:36 Danny: 200 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST.
• 07:38 NOW THE THING IS THAT THIS IS
• 07:40 SOMETHING OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE,
• 07:43 NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTY
• 07:44 OF THE SITE,
• 07:45 WHICH WE'LL SEE LATER.
• 07:46 NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF
• 07:47 THE IMPRESSION ONE GETS WHEN
• 07:48 HE WALKS THERE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE
• 07:51 IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT REMAINS
• 07:52 EVER FOUND IN THIS COUNTRY
• 07:54 BEFORE, PERTAINING TO
• 07:56 THE MACCABEAN PERIOD.
• 07:58 THIS IS REALLY UNIQUE.
• 08:00 ALSO, BECAUSE OF THAT,
• 08:01 WE HAVE EXPOSED THE REMAINS
• 08:03 WHICH ARE VERY SCANT,
• 08:05 BUT STILL ARE QUITE SIGNIFICANT
• 08:06 OF THE PALACE OF THE MACCABEES,
• 08:09 WHICH WAS TO THE NORTH OF
• 08:10 THE TEMPLE MOUNT OF THAT TIME,
• 08:12 COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND
• 08:13 SHAVED AWAY BY HEROD THE GREAT,
• 08:16 WHEN HE EXTENDED
• 08:17 THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 08:18 AND BUILT ANTONIA FORTRESS,
• 08:19 THE FAMOUS FORTRESS WHICH PLAYED
• 08:21 SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE
• 08:22 IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY.
• 08:24 Zola: OKAY, THE MACCABEES
• 08:25 WERE A FAMILY THAT EXISTED
• 08:29 AND REVOLTED AGAINST
• 08:30 THE SYRO-PHOENICIANS
• 08:32 WHO WERE CONTROLLING THE LAND
• 08:34 AGAINST ANTIOCHUS, IF I'M RIGHT,
• 08:36 AND THEY HAD A PALACE HERE
• 08:39 AS YOU'RE EXPLAINING.
• 08:40 Danny: NOW THAT FAMILY IT WAS...
• 08:42 CAME ACTUALLY, IT WAS
• 08:43 THE RULER OF AUTOCRACY
• 08:45 IN OUR COUNTRY IN JUDAH.
• 08:47 AND IN THE 2nd CENTURY WHEN
• 08:49 THERE WERE TWO TRENDS AMONGST
• 08:50 THE JEWS LIVING IN THE COUNTRY
• 08:52 WHO WERE UNDER THE YOKE
• 08:54 OF THE SELEUCIDS.
• 08:55 THE SELEUCIDS WERE THE HEIRS
• 08:56 OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
• 08:58 NOW THERE WERE TWO TENDENCIES
• 09:00 IN THE COUNTRY, TO ACCEPT
• 09:01 THE HELLENISTIC WAY OF LIFE,
• 09:03 OR TO PRESERVE
• 09:05 THE AUTHENTIC JEWISH LIFE.
• 09:06 Zola: OKAY.
• 09:07 Danny: THE FIGHT
• 09:08 ALMOST ENDED WITH ENCOURAGEMENT
• 09:10 OF THE SELEUCIDS,
• 09:11 NAMELY OF THE THOSE, LET'S SAY
• 09:12 GREEK-ORIENTATED RULERS
• 09:15 OF THE COUNTRY TO GO INTO
• 09:17 REALLY GREEK-ORIENTATED WAY
• 09:19 OF LIFE, BUT THERE WAS A KIND OF
• 09:22 A ZEAL AMONGST THE RURAL PEOPLE
• 09:26 TO MAINTAIN JEWISH WAYS OF LIFE.
• 09:28 THAT FAMILY, WHICH COMES FROM
• 09:29 A LITTLE TOWN NAMED MODI'IN,
• 09:31 WHICH IS NOT FAR FROM JERUSALEM.
• 09:32 IT'S ABOUT 30 KILOMETERS
• 09:34 FROM JERUSALEM.
• 09:35 THEY REBELLED AND THEY MANAGED
• 09:37 TO ORGANIZE A WHOLE REVOLT
• 09:39 AGAINST THE SELEUCIDS.
• 09:41 FINALLY JUDAH
• 09:42 RECEIVED ITS INDEPENDENCE,
• 09:44 AND FOR OVER 200 YEARS, JUDAH
• 09:46 WAS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.
• 09:48 Zola: AND THAT ESTABLISHED
• 09:49 A HOLIDAY CALLED "HANUKKAH."
• 09:52 Danny: BECAUSE OF THE VICTORY
• 09:53 WE CELEBRATE TO THIS VERY DAY,
• 09:54 THE HANUKKAH HOLY DAY, WHICH IS
• 09:57 ACTUALLY TO COMMEMORATE NOT ONLY
• 09:58 THE VICTORY OF THE SELEUCIDS
• 10:00 AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION
• 10:01 OF THE TEMPLE,
• 10:02 BUT ALSO IT IS IN ORDER
• 10:04 TO COMMEMORATE THE GREAT MIRACLE
• 10:06 WHICH OCCURRED WHEN THE JEWS
• 10:07 MANAGED TO KINDLE
• 10:09 THE CANDELABRUM FOR 8 DAYS,
• 10:12 ALTHOUGH THE EWER,
• 10:13 THE LITTLE PURE OIL THEY FOUND,
• 10:15 COULD SUFFICE FOR ONLY ONE DAY.
• 10:16 AND THIS IS REALLY
• 10:17 THE MAIN REASON
• 10:18 BECAUSE IT WAS A MIRACLE;
• 10:19 IT WAS A DIVINE MIRACLE.
• 10:20 Zola: TO TAKE YOUR ATTENTION
• 10:21 BACK TO THE TUNNEL THEN,
• 10:23 IT IS SORT OF--
• 10:24 WELL, IT'S MORE THAN SORT OF,
• 10:26 IT IS A REAL PROOF
• 10:27 OF THE JEWISH PRIMACY
• 10:29 IN THIS LAND AT THAT TIME.
• 10:30 Danny: DEFINITELY.
• 10:31 WHEN WE WOULD WALK
• 10:32 ALONG THE WESTERN WALL
• 10:34 OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT,
• 10:35 YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE
• 10:36 ACTUALLY WALKING ALONG
• 10:38 THE MOST MAGNIFICENT STRUCTURE
• 10:40 IN ANTIQUITY.
• 10:41 I ALWAYS SAY,
• 10:42 IN A KIND OF A JOKE,
• 10:44 THAT THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT SEVEN
• 10:45 MARVELS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.
• 10:48 I SAY ALWAYS THERE WERE NINE.
• 10:50 THE NINTH BEING, WHY DIDN'T
• 10:51 THE TEMPLE MOUNT IN JERUSALEM
• 10:53 BECOME THE EIGHTH?
• 10:54 BECAUSE, BY FAR MORE,
• 10:56 IT EXCEEDS ANY OTHER STRUCTURE
• 10:58 OF ANTIQUITY.
• 11:00 FOR EXAMPLE,
• 11:01 IF ONE OF THE MARVELS WERE
• 11:03 THE GREAT PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT AND
• 11:04 YOU COULD TAKE THREE AND A HALF
• 11:06 OF THE GREAT PYRAMIDS AND
• 11:07 PUT THEM ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 11:10 NOW, THE THING IS, THAT IT IS
• 11:11 REALLY A UNIQUE STRUCTURE
• 11:13 AND YOU'LL SEE WE ARE WALKING
• 11:14 AND WALKING AND WALKING ALONG
• 11:16 ONE MORE WALL WHICH ORIGINALLY
• 11:18 WAS VERY HIGH, IN SOME PLACES
• 11:20 OVER 200 FEET HIGH.
• 11:22 AND YOU ARE WALKING ALONG IT
• 11:23 WITH BEAUTIFUL MASONRY,
• 11:25 VERY WELL EXECUTED,
• 11:27 SO ALL THAT CAN REALLY GIVE YOU
• 11:28 REALLY THE IMPRESSION
• 11:29 OF HOW BIG IT WAS.
• 11:30 THE PROBLEM WE HAVE TODAY THAT,
• 11:32 UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAME AGAIN
• 11:34 TO THAT PHASE WHEN WE'VE GOT TO
• 11:36 PROVE THAT JERUSALEM IS HOLY
• 11:38 TO US AND THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 11:39 WAS BUILT BY A JEWISH KING.
• 11:41 AND THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH
• 11:42 I THOUGHT WILL NEVER OCCUR AGAIN
• 11:44 AND INDEED, IT COMES HERE AGAIN
• 11:46 BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
• 11:47 WE'VE GOT TO BE A KIND OF--
• 11:49 TO TRY TO EXPLAIN
• 11:50 WHAT WE ARE DOING AND HOW.
• 11:51 THE JEWS WHO PRAY AT
• 11:53 THE WESTERN WALL WANT TO KNOW--
• 11:55 WHICH IS THE HOLIEST PLACE
• 11:56 FOR JUDAISM AT PRESENT--
• 11:58 WANT TO KNOW ALSO TO SAY
• 12:00 THE SECRETS OF THE WESTERN WALL,
• 12:02 WHERE DOES IT START,
• 12:03 WHERE DOES IT END?
• 12:04 AND THIS WAS REALLY THE PURPOSE
• 12:05 OF THE TUNNEL,
• 12:06 OF DIGGING THE TUNNEL,
• 12:07 AND I THINK WE GIVE
• 12:08 ALL THE ANSWERS
• 12:09 IN A MOST SATISFACTORY MANNER.
• 12:10 Zola: YEAH.
• 12:11 SO NOW, WITH THIS TUNNEL DUG,
• 12:13 PEOPLE FROM THE WALL CAN WALK
• 12:15 ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND COME OUT
• 12:17 AT THE VIA DOLOROSA IN
• 12:18 THE MUSLIM QUARTER OF JERUSALEM.
• 12:20 Danny: WHICH MEANS THEY CAN WALK
• 12:21 OVER I WOULD SAY ABOUT 400 YARDS
• 12:25 TO SEE THE GREATNESS
• 12:27 OF THE WESTERN WALL AND TO COME
• 12:28 OUT IN THE VIA DOLOROSA TODAY.
• 12:32 Zola: WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL
• 12:33 JOURNEY DEEP INSIDE THE TUNNEL,
• 12:35 TO THE VERY BASE
• 12:36 OF THE WESTERN WALL.
• 12:37 AND, LATER ON, WHY DID THE MEDIA
• 12:39 MAKE SO MANY MISTAKES IN
• 12:41 REPORTING THE TUNNEL INCIDENT?
• 12:43 WE'LL GET A JOURNALIST'S
• 12:44 PERSPECTIVE.
• 12:45 David Dolan: AND I THINK THERE
• 12:46 WAS A REAL STEPPING BACK
• 12:48 AND SAYING WE'LL JUST REPORT
• 12:50 WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING,
• 12:51 WE WON'T ACTUALLY GO IN AND DO
• 12:52 ANY INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING
• 12:53 OURSELVES, THAT'S THE SAFEST WAY
• 12:55 TO APPROACH IT.
• 12:56 ♪ ♪
• 13:05 ♪ ♪
• 13:39 Katharine: ISRAEL...
• 13:40 THE LAND OF COVENANTS...
• 13:41 THE LAND WHERE THE BIBLE
• 13:42 COMES ALIVE AND HIS VOICE
• 13:44 IS EVEN LOUDER THAN EVER.
• 13:45 Myles: I KNOW.
• 13:46 IT'S REALLY TRUE.
• 13:47 THE LAST TIME WE WERE IN ISRAEL
• 13:49 ONE OF OUR PILGRIMS FOUND A COIN
• 13:50 FROM THE MACCABEAN ERA.
• 13:52 THIS VERY SERIES THAT WE'RE
• 13:53 DOING, "THE STONES CRY OUT," IS
• 13:55 BEING VERIFIED EVEN IN OUR DAY,
• 13:57 SO YOU WANT TO COME TO ISRAEL
• 13:58 WITH US.
• 13:59 ANOTHER WAY TO STUDY
• 14:00 YOUR JEWISH-CHRISTIAN ROOTS
• 14:02 IS TO RECEIVE OUR INSTITUTE
• 14:04 OF JEWISH-CHRISTIAN STUDIES.
• 14:06 IT'S AN AMAZING PACKET
• 14:07 OF TEACHING THAT CAME
• 14:09 FROM JEFF SEIF AND ZOLA LEVITT.
• 14:11 THERE'S ONE CD, THREE CDs,
• 14:12 OR THE ENTIRE SEGMENT OF 12 CDs
• 14:15 THAT YOU CAN RECEIVE.
• 14:16 IN FACT, IT'S BEEN SO--HAD SUCH
• 14:17 AN IMPACT ON SOME OF OUR PEOPLE,
• 14:19 THAT WE WANT TO HEAR FROM
• 14:20 ONE OF OUR STUDENTS RIGHT NOW.
• 14:23 Britnni Rummel: I WOULD
• 14:24 RECOMMEND THIS INSTITUTE
• 14:25 BECAUSE IT REALLY HELPED ME
• 14:26 DEEPEN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 14:28 GOING BACK AND LEARNING ABOUT
• 14:29 THE OLD TESTAMENT STUDIES, THERE
• 14:31 ARE A LOT OF CRAZY AND CONFUSING
• 14:33 THINGS IN THERE SOMETIMES, AND
• 14:34 TO REALLY GO BACK AND UNDERSTAND
• 14:36 THE CONTEXT OF IT, REALLY
• 14:38 HELPED ME WITH CHRISTIANITY,
• 14:40 BECAUSE WE HAVE HEBREW ROOTS.
• 14:41 WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN?
• 14:43 IT TEACHES YOU WHAT IT MEANS
• 14:45 AND WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR AND
• 14:47 IT JUST REALLY BRINGS ME BACK
• 14:48 TO YESHUA AND WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE
• 14:51 FOR HIM, AND IT REALLY JUST
• 14:52 STRENGTHENED AND DEEPENED MY
• 14:53 RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD OVERALL.
• 14:56 Myles: I SO APPRECIATE
• 14:57 THAT TESTIMONY; YOU KNOW,
• 14:58 THIS IS NOT JUST A CD COURSE.
• 15:01 THIS IS COMPARABLE
• 15:03 TO A BIBLE COLLEGE COURSE.
• 15:04 THE RESOURCE THIS WEEK
• 15:05 IS THE ENTIRE INSTITUTE
• 15:07 OF JEWISH-CHRISTIAN STUDIES.
• 15:09 I REMEMBER BRINGING A PASTOR
• 15:10 TO ISRAEL AND HE SAID,
• 15:11 "I WISH I HAD DONE THIS
• 15:12 35 YEARS AGO IN SEMINARY."
• 15:14 THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT
• 15:16 OF A SEMINARY COURSE
• 15:17 IN JEWISH-CHRISTIAN STUDIES.
• 15:19 Katharine: YEAH, THIS COURSE
• 15:21 WILL NOT ONLY INSPIRE YOU
• 15:23 IN THE WORD AND IN
• 15:24 THE JEWISHNESS OF THE GOSPEL,
• 15:26 BUT IT'LL EDUCATE YOU
• 15:27 IN YOUR HERITAGE THAT YOU HAVE
• 15:29 AS A SON OF ABRAHAM.
• 15:30 AND IT ALSO WILL HELP US
• 15:32 TO CONTINUE TO BRING YOU
• 15:33 THESE PROGRAMS THAT
• 15:35 WE LOVE TO BRING YOU FROM ISRAEL
• 15:37 AND FROM THE HEART OF GOD.
• 15:39 Myles: YES, SO LET'S GO BACK
• 15:41 TO ZOLA ON LOCATION
• 15:42 AT THE WESTERN WALL.
• 15:45 Danny: AT FIRST, WHAT WE SEE
• 15:46 HERE IS THE WESTERN WALL
• 15:48 TO OUR RIGHT-HAND SIDE.
• 15:49 THIS IS ACTUALLY THE LAST POINT
• 15:51 IN IT, AND IT IS ALL CARVED IN
• 15:53 THE ROCK BECAUSE HEROD THE GREAT
• 15:56 REALLY DESTROYED EVERYTHING
• 15:58 WHICH WAS BEFORE HIM.
• 16:00 AND WHAT HE DID WAS TO PUT HERE,
• 16:04 DOWN BELOW, IT IS NATURAL ROCK,
• 16:06 AND TO BRING ONE COURSE
• 16:08 OF STONES, WHICH WAS HERE.
• 16:09 Zola: OH, THIS IS ON TOP
• 16:10 OF THE BEDROCK.
• 16:11 Danny: YES, THAT'S BEDROCK.
• 16:12 DOWN BELOW, THIS IS BEDROCK
• 16:14 AND ABOVE IT, THE BUILDERS.
• 16:15 BUT THE MOST EXCITING OF ALL
• 16:17 THE STONES IN THE WESTERN WALL
• 16:19 IS THE ONE WHICH YOU SEE HERE,
• 16:20 BECAUSE HERE YOU CAN SEE
• 16:21 HOW HE BROUGHT IT
• 16:22 FROM THE QUARRY.
• 16:24 SEE...COMPLETELY ROUGH.
• 16:25 HERE YOU SEE THE CONCENTRIC
• 16:26 MOVEMENTS OF THE CHISELS,
• 16:28 WHERE THEY SMOOTH IT,
• 16:29 AND HERE IT IS,
• 16:30 ALREADY FINISHED.
• 16:31 IT IS THE ONLY STONE
• 16:32 ALONG THE ENTIRE STORY
• 16:34 WHERE YOU CAN SEE ON ONE STONE,
• 16:36 YOU CAN SEE THIS...
• 16:37 YOU CAN SEE THIS...
• 16:38 AND YOU CAN SEE THAT.
• 16:39 Zola: OH YES.
• 16:40 Danny: SO IT SHOWS US THAT,
• 16:41 ACTUALLY, ALL THE STONES
• 16:42 WERE HEWN WHEN THEY WERE
• 16:44 ALREADY INSTALLED IN PLACE.
• 16:45 Zola: I SEE.
• 16:46 Danny: YOU UNDERSTAND IT..
• 16:47 HE BROUGHT IT,
• 16:48 ROUGHLY HE WORKED ON IT ON SITE
• 16:51 AND HERE IT IS,
• 16:52 THE FINAL SHAPE OF IT.
• 16:53 YOU SEE, HERE'S ANOTHER STONE
• 16:55 LIKE THAT.
• 16:56 THIS ONE IS, AGAIN,
• 16:57 YOU SEE, IT IS ALREADY SMOOTH
• 16:58 AND BEAUTIFUL, BUT HERE,
• 16:59 YOU CAN SEE IT IS VERY ROUGH.
• 17:00 Zola: OH, YES.
• 17:01 Danny: NOW, WE ARE NOW--
• 17:02 THIS IS THE END
• 17:03 OF THE WESTERN WALL.
• 17:04 THE WESTERN WALL ENDS HERE
• 17:05 LIKE THAT...AND AS WE GO,
• 17:07 THIS LITTLE FLIGHT OF STEPS,
• 17:08 WE'LL FIND OURSELVES
• 17:09 IN THE MACCABEAN TUNNEL.
• 17:11 Zola: AT THIS POINT,
• 17:12 WE LEFT A SEGMENT OF TUNNEL
• 17:14 DUG BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS AND
• 17:16 WE ENTERED THE HASMONEAN TUNNEL.
• 17:18 ORIGINALLY AN AQUEDUCT, IT WAS
• 17:20 CONSTRUCTED OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO
• 17:22 TO SUPPLY WATER TO THE
• 17:23 MACCABEAN PALACE FURTHER SOUTH.
• 17:26 THE WINDING CHANNEL WALLS
• 17:27 STRETCH HIGHER AND HIGHER,
• 17:29 TOWARD THE OLD CITY ABOVE.
• 17:30 Danny: YOU SEE HOW IT'S GOING
• 17:31 HIGHER AND HIGHER?
• 17:32 Zola: YES.
• 17:33 Danny: THE REASON IS THAT
• 17:34 ACTUALLY THEY NEVER BORED IT
• 17:35 AS A TUNNEL.
• 17:37 THEY EXCAVATED IT FROM TOP
• 17:39 AND THEN THEY COVERED IT
• 17:40 WITH SLABS
• 17:41 AND THEN IT BECAME A TUNNEL.
• 17:42 BUT THE THING IS, THE HILL IS
• 17:45 HIGHER THE FURTHER NORTH WE GO
• 17:47 AND IF WE GO NORTHWARDS...
• 17:48 LOOK AT THAT...
• 17:49 AT REALLY LOOKS LIKE A CANYON
• 17:51 IN THE DESERT.
• 17:52 NOW THE THING IS, THAT IT WAS
• 17:53 MADE BY THE MACCABEES IN ORDER
• 17:55 TO SUPPLY WATER TO THEIR PALACE.
• 17:58 TILL THE DISCOVERY OF
• 17:59 THIS TUNNEL WHICH, BY THE WAY,
• 18:01 WAS DISCOVERED ALREADY
• 18:02 IN THE 19th CENTURY,
• 18:04 BUT THE EXPLORERS THERE DIDN'T
• 18:05 UNDERSTAND WHAT EXACTLY IT WAS.
• 18:07 SO WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY DIDN'T
• 18:10 KNOW TO WHOM TO ATTRIBUTE IT.
• 18:12 NOW WE KNOW VERY WELL
• 18:13 THAT IT IS PRE-HERODIAN, BECAUSE
• 18:15 HEROD THE GREAT BUILT A DAM HERE
• 18:18 IN ORDER TO STOP THE WATER
• 18:20 WHICH CAME ALONG THIS AQUEDUCT;
• 18:23 ACTUALLY TO STOP IT
• 18:25 FROM GOING INTO THE WESTERN WALL
• 18:26 AND TO FLOOD HIS WALKS THERE.
• 18:29 BUT THE FANTASTIC THING IS THAT
• 18:30 WHEN WE GO UP TO THE TOP
• 18:32 AND YOU SEE THE CANYON,
• 18:33 THE VIEW OVER THE CANYON
• 18:34 IS REALLY MARVELOUS.
• 18:36 AND IF YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE
• 18:37 UNDER THE OLD CITY
• 18:39 IT IS REALLY FASCINATING.
• 18:40 Zola: OH, YES.
• 18:42 Danny: WE MADE A GLASS BRIDGE
• 18:43 SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT WATER
• 18:45 STILL FLOWS UNDERNEATH.
• 18:46 Zola: OH, YES.
• 18:47 Danny: YOU CAN SEE IT
• 18:48 DOWN THERE.
• 18:49 YOU SEE, THE CEILING
• 18:50 IS REFLECTED IN THE WATER.
• 18:52 Zola: OH, YES.
• 18:53 Danny: AND THIS IS REALLY
• 18:54 A UNIQUE THING ALTOGETHER TO SEE
• 18:56 THE ENTIRE HEIGHT OF THE TUNNELS
• 18:58 FROM BOTTOM TO TOP.
• 19:00 Zola: WE CONTINUED OUR ASCENT TO
• 19:02 THE END OF THE HASMONEAN SEGMENT
• 19:03 OF THE TUNNEL, ENTERING THE
• 19:04 FINAL PART OF THE TUNNEL SYSTEM.
• 19:06 EXCAVATION COMPLETED HERE
• 19:08 IN 1993 STOPPED 12 INCHES SHORT
• 19:11 OF BREAKING THROUGH
• 19:12 ONTO THE VIA DOLOROSA,
• 19:14 SHOWN HERE ON THE MAP,
• 19:15 TRADITION HOLDS
• 19:17 CHRIST WALKED THIS STREET
• 19:18 TO HIS CRUCIFIXION.
• 19:20 FINALLY IN 1996,
• 19:22 NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN ISLAMIC
• 19:24 AND JEWISH AUTHORITIES RESULTED
• 19:25 IN THE APPROVAL AND CREATION
• 19:27 OF THE TUNNEL EXIT.
• 19:29 AT FIRST ALL WAS CALM, HOWEVER,
• 19:31 PALESTINIAN LEADER YASSER ARAFAT
• 19:33 MADE MISLEADING STATEMENTS
• 19:34 REGARDING THE TUNNEL LOCATION
• 19:36 WHICH INCITED RIOTS, KILLING 70
• 19:39 AND INJURING HUNDREDS.
• 19:40 SPEAKING NEAR THE EXIT, DANNY
• 19:42 EXPLAINS ARAFAT'S DECEPTION.
• 19:44 Danny: HE DIFFUSED,
• 19:46 IN THE INTERNET AND EVERYWHERE,
• 19:48 A MAP OF OUR TUNNELS AS IF
• 19:49 THEY GO UNDER THE TWO MOSQUES
• 19:51 ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 19:54 WE PUBLISHED A MAP OF THE WALK,
• 19:55 AS WE DO IN EVERY EXCAVATION.
• 19:57 AND HE TOOK THE SAME MAP
• 19:58 WHICH WAS PUBLISHED,
• 20:00 AND MOVED IT, THE TUNNEL.
• 20:01 HE PUT ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT
• 20:04 BETWEEN THE TWO MOSQUES.
• 20:05 THAT'S WHAT HE DID.
• 20:06 AND EVERYONE BELIEVED--
• 20:08 NO ONE COULD BELIEVE THAT
• 20:09 THE LEADER OF LET'S SAY A NATION
• 20:11 WITH NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS
• 20:12 CAN LIE TO THE WORLD
• 20:13 IN SUCH A MANNER.
• 20:15 AND THIS IS ACTUALLY
• 20:16 WHAT HE DID.
• 20:17 David Dolan: THIS POLITICALLY
• 20:18 THREATENS...
• 20:19 Zola: DAVID DOLAN,
• 20:20 VETERAN JOURNALIST AND RESIDENT
• 20:21 OF JERUSALEM SPOKE WITH
• 20:22 DR. McCALL ABOUT THE EVENTS.
• 20:24 Tom McCALL: WHY DO WE GET
• 20:25 THIS KIND OF WRONG INFORMATION
• 20:28 OR MISINFORMATION
• 20:29 OR DISINFORMATION?
• 20:31 David: THE PALESTINIANS
• 20:32 PRESENTED IT AS A TUNNEL
• 20:34 THAT AFFECTED THE MOSQUE
• 20:36 ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 20:37 SO THEY LEFT THE IMPRESSION THAT
• 20:40 IT DID GO ACTUALLY UNDERNEATH
• 20:41 THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND THE MEDIA
• 20:43 JUST REPORTED THAT WITHOUT
• 20:45 ACTUALLY CHECKING ON THE FACTS,
• 20:47 GOING DOWN THERE
• 20:49 AND LOOKING AT IT OR WHATEVER.
• 20:50 AND IT TOOK A FEW DAYS
• 20:52 FOR IT TO BE CLARIFIED EVEN HERE
• 20:54 LOCALLY, HERE IN THE MEDIA, THAT
• 20:56 THIS TUNNEL RUNS ON THE OUTSIDE
• 20:58 OF THE WESTERN WALL; THAT
• 21:00 IT'S AN ANCIENT TUNNEL, NOTHING
• 21:02 THAT HAS JUST BEEN BUILT.
• 21:03 IT WAS AN ANCIENT WATER TUNNEL
• 21:05 AT THE HASMONEAN PERIOD
• 21:06 AND THEREFORE HAS NOTHING
• 21:07 TO DO WITH THE MOSQUE ITSELF.
• 21:09 BUT, AGAIN, IT'S PRECISELY
• 21:11 ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT ITSELF
• 21:13 THAT THE ISLAMIC CLAIM TO BE
• 21:16 THE FINAL REVELATION OF TRUTH,
• 21:17 THE FINAL FAITH,
• 21:19 THE SUPREME FAITH WAS,
• 21:21 THEY BELIEVED, CONCRETELY
• 21:23 DEMONSTRATED BY THEM
• 21:24 CAPTURING THE TEMPLE MOUNT FROM,
• 21:26 AT THAT TIME IN 638,
• 21:28 BYZANTINE CHRISTIANS.
• 21:30 Zola: AND YET THESE TUNNELS THAT
• 21:31 YOU HAVE EXCAVATED SHOW THAT YOU
• 21:34 WERE HERE MANY CENTURIES BEFORE
• 21:36 THE BIRTH OF MOHAMMAD EVEN.
• 21:38 Danny: DEFINITELY.
• 21:39 IT WAS THE JEWS WHO BROUGHT
• 21:41 THE ARABS HERE DURING THE
• 21:42 CREATION OF THE ISLAMIC EMPIRE
• 21:45 IN THE 7th CENTURY
• 21:46 BECAUSE WHEN THEY CAME HERE,
• 21:48 THEY DIDN'T KNOW
• 21:49 WHAT THEY ARE COMING TO.
• 21:50 IT WAS A CONVERTED JEW,
• 21:51 A MAN CALLED KA'AB AL-AHBAR WHO
• 21:53 BROUGHT THEM AND SHOWED THEM THE
• 21:55 HOLINESS OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 21:57 AND THEY WERE DELIBERATING.
• 21:58 AND WE'VE GOT IT
• 21:59 FROM ARAB SOURCES.
• 22:00 THEY WERE DELIBERATING WHERE
• 22:01 TO BUILD THE MOSQUE BECAUSE THEY
• 22:03 HAD NO--THERE WAS NO IMPORTANCE
• 22:05 WHATSOEVER TO JERUSALEM
• 22:06 IN THEIR EYES.
• 22:08 Tom: AND ARCHAEOLOGY IS AT THE
• 22:09 HEART OF THIS WHOLE CONTROVERSY
• 22:12 OVER WHO OWNS WHAT
• 22:14 AND WHO HAS THE MOST CLAIM
• 22:17 TO THESE PROPERTIES.
• 22:20 IT'S AN AMAZING THING THAT
• 22:21 ARCHAEOLOGY WOULD HAVE SUCH AN
• 22:23 IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL HISTORY.
• 22:27 David: WELL, IT IS, AND IT'S
• 22:28 A FRUSTRATING THING FOR LOCAL
• 22:30 ARCHAEOLOGISTS WHO JUST WANT
• 22:32 TO GO OUT AND DO THEIR JOB.
• 22:34 I'M TALKING ABOUT ISRAELIS
• 22:35 AND ARABS AND INTERNATIONAL
• 22:36 ARCHAEOLOGISTS WHO JUST WANT TO
• 22:37 GO AND SEARCH FOR ANCIENT THINGS
• 22:39 AND THEY KEEP FINDING THAT
• 22:40 WHATEVER THEY FIND AFFECTS
• 22:42 TODAY'S POLITICAL STRUGGLE
• 22:45 AND THAT THEY'RE PULLED THIS WAY
• 22:46 AND THEY'RE PULLED THAT WAY.
• 22:47 Zola: EVEN WITH THE POLITICAL
• 22:48 PRESSURES, DANNY, KNOWING
• 22:50 THE IMPORTANCE OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL
• 22:51 FINDINGS FOR ALL FAITHS,
• 22:53 CONTINUES HIS WORK
• 22:54 AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
• 22:56 Danny: THE TUNNEL,
• 22:57 THE IDEA OF THE TUNNEL
• 22:58 IS TO EXPOSE TO THE JEWISH WORLD
• 22:59 THE SANCTITY
• 23:01 OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT,
• 23:02 MOREOVER, IN THIS RESPECT,
• 23:04 SINCE IT REFERS TO
• 23:06 THE SECOND TEMPLE PERIOD,
• 23:07 IT IS ALSO OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
• 23:09 TO THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.
• 23:11 TO THE MUSLIMS, OUR TUNNEL
• 23:12 IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE, FROM
• 23:13 THE SCIENTIFIC POINT OF VIEW
• 23:16 WE HAVE REVEALED HERE
• 23:17 LAYERS OF ISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT,
• 23:20 URBAN DEVELOPMENT OF JERUSALEM
• 23:22 OF WHICH THEY NEVER KNEW BEFORE.
• 23:24 SO, ALL TOGETHER, INSTEAD OF,
• 23:26 I WILL SAY, ENCOURAGING,
• 23:28 THE FACT THAT WE'VE GOT A SITE
• 23:30 WHICH EVERYONE...
• 23:31 JEWS...CHRISTIANS...AND MUSLIMS
• 23:33 CAN FIND EACH OF THEM SOMETHING
• 23:35 WHICH WILL WARM HIS POINT...
• 23:37 I MEAN, WILL WARM HIS HEART
• 23:39 WITH A CERTAIN POINT
• 23:40 OF HIS LEGACY,
• 23:42 THEY MADE A WHOLE MESS OF IT.
• 23:43 AND THIS IS, REALLY...
• 23:45 I'M AFRAID IT IS TYPICAL THING.
• 23:47 AND THAT'S WHY I'M SO FURIOUS,
• 23:48 BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE WERE
• 23:49 AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS
• 23:52 WHICH THE WORLD DENIED.
• 23:53 AND, UNFORTUNATELY, THE MEDIA
• 23:54 TOOK PART IN THIS DENIAL.
• 23:57 Tom: WHAT DID YOU THINK
• 23:59 OF THE EARLY REPORTING THAT CAME
• 24:00 OUT ABOUT THE TUNNEL EPISODE?
• 24:04 Danny: WELL, TOM,
• 24:05 AS A JOURNALIST WHO'S LIVED HERE
• 24:06 AND REPORTED FROM HERE
• 24:08 FOR 16 YEARS I'VE GOT TO SAY
• 24:09 I WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTED IN IT.
• 24:12 JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT ALL OF
• 24:14 THESE ISSUES ARE VERY POLITICAL
• 24:17 AND EMOTIONAL, ETC.
• 24:18 THEY KNOW THAT SOMETIMES WE GET
• 24:20 A SLANTED VERSION OF WHAT'S
• 24:22 GOING ON AND THERE WAS I THINK
• 24:24 A VERY LIMITED ATTEMPT
• 24:26 TO CHECK THE FACTS.
• 24:29 WE HAD, FOR INSTANCE,
• 24:30 ARCHAEOLOGIST DANNY BAHAT
• 24:32 WHO'S SO INVOLVED IN THIS
• 24:33 AND YET HE WASN'T CONSULTED
• 24:36 BY THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA.
• 24:38 THE BBC, CNN AND OTHERS
• 24:41 REPEATED THE REPORT THAT THE
• 24:43 ISRAELIS HAVE OPENED A TUNNEL.
• 24:45 WELL, OF COURSE, IT WAS JUST
• 24:46 AN EXIT TO THE TUNNEL,
• 24:48 A DOOR THAT HAD BEEN PUT IN.
• 24:50 SO THAT WAS VERY,
• 24:51 VERY MISLEADING.
• 24:52 AND THEY DIDN'T GO DOWN
• 24:54 AND LOOK AT THE THING TOO.
• 24:55 I WAS WAITING FOR ONE
• 24:56 OF THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS
• 24:58 TO HAVE A CAMERA CREW
• 24:59 GO THROUGH IT AND SAY,
• 25:00 "THIS IS WHERE IT BEGINS,
• 25:01 THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS,
• 25:02 THIS IS WHERE IT IS
• 25:03 IN RELATION TO THE MOSQUE, ETC."
• 25:05 AND WE DIDN'T SEE THAT AT ALL.
• 25:07 SO IT WAS VERY SHALLOW REPORTING
• 25:09 I THOUGHT.
• 25:10 Zola: WHAT IF THE MUSLIMS
• 25:11 AND JEWS REALLY WORKED TOGETHER?
• 25:14 David: I WISH IT WERE.
• 25:15 I TELL YOU MY EXPERIENCE
• 25:16 NOW IS--AND I'M, OF COURSE,
• 25:18 YOU CAN IMAGINE I WANT
• 25:19 THIS PEACE AND EVERYTHING...
• 25:20 EVEN WITH EGYPT, WITH WHICH
• 25:21 WE SIGNED ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO,
• 25:23 A PEACE AGREEMENT;
• 25:24 YOU DON'T SEE ANY
• 25:26 SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION,
• 25:27 IN NO WAY, IN ARCHAEOLOGY.
• 25:29 WITH JORDAN,
• 25:30 I HOPE IT WILL WORK BETTER.
• 25:32 TO THE PRESENT THERE IS NOTHING.
• 25:33 I WONDER IF THE ARABS WILL DO IT
• 25:36 AT ALL, ESPECIALLY ON JERUSALEM.
• 25:39 I WONDER.
• 25:40 I WOULD LIKE IT VERY MUCH.
• 25:41 Zola: YOU WOULD HOPE--
• 25:42 Danny: YES, BUT REMEMBER THAT
• 25:44 STILL, THE FEELING THAT WE ARE
• 25:46 PART OF THE MIDDLE EAST HAS
• 25:48 NOT YET SEEPED TO THEIR MIND.
• 25:50 THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTS
• 25:52 AND THAT'S WHERE IT ENDS.
• 25:55 ♪ ♪
• 26:25 Myles: WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE
• 26:26 EXPERTS LIKE DAVID DOLAN AND
• 26:27 DANNY BAHAT TO EXPLAIN TO US THE
• 26:29 REALITY ON THE GROUND IN ISRAEL.
• 26:31 SINCE THE TIME OF THESE RIOTS,
• 26:34 WHAT'S COME TO LIGHT
• 26:35 IS THAT IT CAME TO PASS
• 26:36 DURING BIBI NETANYAHU'S
• 26:38 FIRST TERM, WHEN HE WAS HAVING
• 26:40 THE HISTORIC RECONCILIATION
• 26:42 MEETING WITH HELMUT KOHL,
• 26:43 THE CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY.
• 26:45 DURING THAT TIME, THESE RIOTS
• 26:46 STARTED AT THE WESTERN WALL
• 26:48 AND NETANYAHU SAID TO ARAFAT,
• 26:50 "I WILL HAVE TANKS IN RAMALLAH
• 26:52 IN 15 MINUTES,
• 26:53 IF YOU DO NOT STOP THE RIOTS."
• 26:54 THANKFULLY,
• 26:55 ARAFAT STOPPED THE RIOTS.
• 26:57 UNFORTUNATELY,
• 26:58 70 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES.
• 27:00 Katharine: THANKFULLY,
• 27:01 FOR BOTH THE JEWS AND THE ARABS,
• 27:03 THAT THAT WAS STOPPED.
• 27:05 BUT WE HAVE A WONDERFUL OFFER
• 27:07 AND WE WANT YOU TO ENJOY THIS.
• 27:09 I CERTAINLY HAVE.
• 27:10 I'VE TAKEN THIS COURSE AND
• 27:12 I'VE GOTTEN SO MUCH OUT OF IT.
• 27:13 THERE ARE WONDERFUL CDs
• 27:15 AND AN ACTUAL GOING THROUGH
• 27:17 OF THE BIBLE, LINE UPON LINE,
• 27:20 AND IT REALLY EMPHASIZES
• 27:21 OUR CONNECTION
• 27:22 WITH THE OLD TESTAMENT AND
• 27:24 THE JEWISHNESS OF THE GOSPEL.
• 27:27 SO WE'D LOVE YOU TO GET THIS
• 27:28 AND WE KNOW THAT
• 27:29 YOU'LL BE ENRICHED BY IT.
