00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:36,400 have it's a beautiful piece of land holy 380 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:39,520 land watered by the blood of all these 381 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:42,440 Palestinians who have

thinking of it while I watched the film 385 00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:51,919 you know if the Palestinians had 386 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:55,120 surrendered 60 years ago none of this 387 00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:59,919 would be happening to them if they'd 388 00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:02,679 agreed to go into the museum as an ex 389 00:20:59,919 --> 00:21:05,360 people that we go and look at 390

happening to them it's only happening to 396 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,640 them because they resist because they 397 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:29,520 refuse because they will never 398 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:35,039 surrender that which is dear to 399 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:37,120 them the jabalia camp has more 400 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:39,559 Martyrs more 401 00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:43,159 Fighters
