Once we get to Uganda,

we are safe.

The Israelis have no choice.

They have to negotiate.

It's checkmate.

And what happens

if they don't negotiate?

They...

They...

They have to.

Or we kill the hostages.

Yes.

You will have to kill people.

Germans killing Jews...

have you thought about that?

Ulrike Meinhof is dead

because of me.

- That is not true.

- It's true.

I trusted someone

I shouldn't have,

and she was arrested,

and now she is dead.

If you're having doubts...

you should leave.

Do you want me to leave?

(SPEAKS FRENCH)

(CLEARS THROAT)

BOSE:

Welcome to Entebbe, Uganda.

I haven't had the time

up until now

to explain the reasons

for hijacking

an Air France plane.

(OVER SPEAKERS):

Despite the belief of many

that France

has a pro-Arab policy,

it is one

of the first countries

in the rank

of Palestinian enemies.

France has cooperated

with Mossad.

France has sold planes

to Israel.

France has given Israel help

in building atom bombs.

Palestine has no atom bombs,

no army and no weapons.

The Popular Front

for the Liberation of Palestine

must utilize other means

to focus the attention

of the world

on the Palestinian people's

struggle.

We call upon revolutionary

movements everywhere

to unite against Israel,

a fascist, Zionist

and racist state.

Israel has exploited

the humanistic sentiments

of its people

to inhuman ends.

She's the heir of Nazism.

I would ask

that you remain calm.

We will not do you any harm.

And we will not kill you.

We are not assassins.

And we do not want to

commit a pointless massacre.

You will spend tonight

on the plane.

Tomorrow,

we move to the terminal.

We know you have

a choice of airlines.

Thank you for flying

Air France.

We hope to see you again

very soon.

(CHUCKLES)

Now you know how the mind

of a crazy

German revolutionary works.

Captain.

Open the door.

- Get back.

- JABER:
Mind the step.

This is the biggest plane

this airport has ever seen.

(CHUCKLING)

Boni, you should see the faces

of the passengers

after your speech.

What?

- They are terrified.

- (CHUCKLING)

- What did he say?

- You don't want to know.

(LAUGHTER)

- Hey.

- Hey.

(ROOSTER CROWING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(CHUCKLING)

Welcome to Uganda.

(CHUCKLES)

I am His Excellency al-Hajji

Field Marshal Doctor

Idi Amin Dada,

holder of

the British Victoria Cross,

DSO, CMV, MC,

appointed by God Almighty

as your savior!

- (APPLAUSE)

- Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

I am the hero of Africa.

And I am your hero.

We will take care

of your every need.

And we hope very much

that you will enjoy

your stay

in our beautiful country.

And everything
