.
The children.
We're almost there

3
00:01:48,408 --> 00:01:52,212
(children sing "Hatikva",
the national anthem of Israel)

4
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:20,099
Shalom.

5
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:56,703
(cheering, whistling)

6
00:04:08,214 --> 00:04:10,216
Golda:
Shalom.

7
00:04:24,731 --> 00:04:27,066
May peace be with you.

8
00:04:34,674 --> 00:04:37,677
...distinguished guests,
and children--

9
00:04:38,177 --> 00:04:40,680
Very dear children:

10
00:04:58,197 --> 00:05:01,267
(laughing)

11
00:05:09,175 --> 00:05:12,445
...by an ancient sage
called Hillel.

12
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:33,599
And if not now, when?"

13
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,175
...like everyone else?"

14
00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:25,885
I want to ask:
Were you a good student?
Did you get good marks?

15
00:07:03,122 --> 00:07:06,159
America.
Why did you leave Amer
ica and go to Israel?

16
00:07:18,404 --> 00:07:19,238
(whimpers)

17
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:28,481

18
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:42,094

19
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:46,499
(crowd of men shouting)

20
00:07:49,268 --> 00:07:50,837
(gasps)

21
00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:04,050
They say we killed their Lord.

22
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:13,759
(shouting)

23
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:26,072
(horse whinnies)

24
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:46,192
Man (shouts):
Christ killer!

25
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,536
(whimpering)

26
00:09:13,586 --> 00:09:15,454
Is that all we're going to do?

27
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:23,396
(orchestral music)

28
00:09:30,202 --> 00:09:32,772

29
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:39,278
(sniffling)

30
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:56,796
...and he doesn't
want me to do it.

31
00:10:09,175 --> 00:10:11,544
What's that?

32
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:22,521
...in Palestine.

33
00:10:37,336 --> 00:10:40,172
But some day.
We hope.

34
00:11:24,917 --> 00:11:26,919
Thank you.

35
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:32,525
e?
How come you picked Milwauke

36
00:12:53,072 --> 00:12:56,876
Concerts in the park, that is.
They were free.

37
00:13:23,836 --> 00:13:25,905
Oh.
Shh.

38
00:14:05,878 --> 00:14:08,247
Shh.

a serious subject.

My father sa
ys I'm totally
intransigent

42
00:16:03,395 --> 00:16:05,431
Well?

43
00:16:17,443 --> 00:16:19,445
e.
Palestin

44
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:26,952
...by this romantic
Zionist business?

45
00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:45,938
?
So why get into it

46
00:17:01,954 --> 00:17:05,324
The only way
we're ever going to get it
is in a Jewish homeland.

47
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,855
(orchestral music)

48
00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:24,169
I'd love to marry you, Morris.

49
00:18:33,078 --> 00:18:34,980
Maybe you'll change your mind.

50
00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:43,956
(orchestral music)

51
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:22,861
Morris:
I could paint a better sign
than that with my eyes closed.

52
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:14,012
There'll be another bu
s tomorrow.

53
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:23,121
A phonograph.
I'll take care of that
myself, thank you.

54
00:20:26,692 --> 00:20:29,695
(goats bleating)

55
00:20:35,467 --> 00:20:37,469

(chuckling)

59
00:22:29,047 --> 00:22:30,949
How lucky I am to have you.

60
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:39,958
...just to make me happy?

61
00:22:44,296 --> 00:22:47,199
Oh, Morris, darling.

62
00:22:54,706 --> 00:22:56,708

Hey. They sa

(owl hooting)
(crickets chirping)

72
00:26:00,125 --> 00:26:02,627
You can go to your room.

73
00:26:13,572 --> 00:26:15,640
Whether you should stay here.

74
00:26:19,644 --> 00:26:20,912
Where are you going?

00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:24,583
e.
I'm going for quinin

00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:46,004
The children are cared for
in the kibbutz nursery.

77
00:26:49,941 --> 00:26:52,877
But together,
they own everything.

78
00:26:57,749 --> 00:27:00,785
Was it real hard on the kibbutz?
I mean, the work.

Are you alright, Morris?

I'm alright.

Ariel:
Who is that, up there?

101
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:01,419
It's the American girl.

Sometimes she wears stocki
ngs to dinner.

If I'm going to be a parent,
I want to be a parent.
Not a visitor.

00:35:56,053 --> 00:35:57,588
Alright?

Well, now there's no reason
for me not to agree
to what they've asked me.

113
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:41,132
Who asked you?

114
00:36:50,641 --> 00:36:53,144
...for a management course.

115
00:36:57,148 --> 00:36:59,150
If you want to go...

Goodnight, Morris.

.
...I can see
you feel bad
about the baby

120
00:37:32,883 --> 00:37:35,886
I was thinking
about the course.

121
00:37:36,887 --> 00:37:39,390
?
What is the course

122
00:37:40,891 --> 00:37:43,394
"How to Raise Chickens".

Ariel:
I have a couple of things I
would like to talk to you about.

128
00:40:07,037 --> 00:40:10,040
As you once said to me, Ariel:
Dumb luck.

129
00:40:20,618 --> 00:40:25,122
ut.
So we want you
to be a delega
te to the Histadr

130

I am a delegate also.

131
00:40:52,383 --> 00:40:54,885
I will not let you say no.

132
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:12,403
Go inside.

Ariel:
Tell everyone to stay put.

Please, let me take it to them.

141
00:43:13,023 --> 00:43:14,892
Don't try it.

142
00:43:24,535 --> 00:43:26,770
The exercise.

143
00:44:23,127 --> 00:44:26,130
I read about it
in the library.

144
00:44:35,139 --> 00:44:38,642
I'm not a doctor, Golda.
But I know what will cure me.

Morris:
I want you to have this.

Look, I'll give you
another ten piastres.

Fight the Britis

185
00:59:21,357 --> 00:59:25,628
When the war breaks out,
the British will be on our side,
fighting Hitler.

For the Lord fought for Israel."

190
01:01:30,086 --> 01:01:31,521
Yes, sir!

191
01:02:43,159 --> 01:02:46,662
That's positively splendid.

192
01:03:03,246 --> 01:03:06,682
...to take advantage
of the opportunity
that God has given them.

And what are you?
The mess sergeant
to the entire Haganah?

Your tahina is nice too.
I was talking about Mr. Arie

199
01:04:56,792 --> 01:04:59,795
Come on, Golda.
Everybody is talking
about you two.

200
01:05:11,741 --> 01:05:15,745
Oh, I beg your pardon.
I forgot that Sabras
don't care to learn Yiddish.

201
01:05:42,171 --> 01:05:44,907
(instrumental music,
military drumbeat)

202
01:07:28,377 --> 01:07:29,712
Naturally.

I've made arrangements
to talk to some of the leaders

204
01:07:52,134 --> 01:07:55,504
Now you know why
Ben-Gurion gave me this job.

205
01:08:21,931 --> 01:08:24,166
Aronowitz:
Please.

206
01:08:30,673 --> 01:08:33,442
Children don't
mean anything
to me.

Crowd:
No!

209
01:09:05,975 --> 01:09:08,477
We are still people.

210
01:09:22,491 --> 01:09:25,995
Would it be possible
to call a meeting
with all the committees?

re.
Actually carry
the Jewish immigrants asho

Is this what flowers look like?
I never saw a real one.

217
01:12:24,239 --> 01:12:26,308
Dear God.

Mrs., uh, Meyerson

You mustn't cry.

224
01:13:36,044 --> 01:13:38,046
Why should you cry?

As of midnight, local time...

01:14:59,761 --> 01:15:02,764
...we have the right
to be a state.

230
01:15:07,769 --> 01:15:11,240
...I want to say something
to our Arab neighbors:

231
01:15:19,781 --> 01:15:24,286
The majority of the countries
in the world believe
that this is how it should be.

232
01:15:29,791 --> 01:15:31,793
It's a compromise.

233
01:15:32,294 --> 01:15:34,296
But...

With his mother,
the country comes first.

Why are you so surpris

242
01:19:24,259 --> 01:19:26,728
A lot of people
would be surprised
to know that.

244
01:19:38,306 --> 01:19:40,308
Well.

Couldn't be better.

Wonderful speech.

Ben-Gurion:
So, what is the positi

Two: The Arabs will invade.

A hundred-thousand
able-bodied soldiers.

Four-hundred thousand
Arab soldiers.

253

Keep quiet.
