Transcript

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

18:05 I HOPE YOU HEAR HIM OUT
18:07 AND I HOPE YOU'LL WANT TO JOIN THOSE WHO VISIT THE HOLY LAND.
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.

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
25:31 FOR BEING IMMORAL, UNETHICAL PEOPLE...
25:35 THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
25:41 IN A WORLD WHERE REALITY GETS MUDDIED,
25:45 WHERE MYTH IS FABRICATED INTO TRUTH,
25:49 I'M THRILLED PERSONALLY THAT YOU GO WITH US ON THE JOURNEY.
25:53 WE LOOK AT MIDDLE EAST NEWS WITHOUT PUTTING PROPAGANDA SPINS ON IT
26:00 AS SEEMS THE CASE ALL OVER THE SECULAR MEDIA
26:04 WHERE PEOPLE ARE BENT ON LAMBASTING JEWS.
26:08 WE'RE NOT A PERFECT PEOPLE BUT WE'RE A DECENT PEOPLE.
26:12 I BELIEVE YOU'VE COME TO TERMS WITH THAT OR YOU WOULDN'T BE FOLLOWING US,
26:16 AT LEAST THOSE OF YOU WHO DO FOLLOW US.
26:18 IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN OUR MINISTRY
26:20 WWW.LEVITT.COM
26:23 IS THE WEBSITE TO GO TO.
26:26 WE'LL PUT YOU ON OUR MAILING LIST IF YOU WANT TO SIGN UP FOR IT
26:29 AND SEND YOU NEWS CLIPPINGS THAT ARE WORTHY OF A READING.
26:33 WE APPRECIATE YOUR TRUST.
26:35 WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO DIMINISH THAT SO LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR IT.
26:40 AND SPEAKING OF THANK YOU...
26:42 THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US,
26:44 FOR STANDING WITH US,
26:46 AND AS YOU GO NOW,
26:47 SHA'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
26:50 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
