Valley of the Wolves: Palestine Page #2

lt's not a long one,

but l'm still going to build it.

Young lady are you getting sleepy?

Come here. . .

He's built it six times and six times

they tore it down. Why are you even doing it?

They'll tear it down again,

but he's stubborn.

If he doesn't,

what else is he going to do?

You didn't like it?

No, not that, I'm a vegetarian.

I don't eat meat.

Buddy you studied engineering, set up your

own operation and made good money. . .

. . .why'd you come back from Lebanon?

If I leave, the other guy leaves and the

next guy leaves, then who's left?

This is our nation.

There are those that fight the war and those

that earn the money to pay for the war.

You kept saying the same in lstanbul.

I want to be able to spend the money

I earned however I want and in my own country.

Please offer our guest something else. . .

Thanks, I'm not hungry.

When we first came back

it wasn't like this.

The Intifada was over,

and you could build houses.

We recognized Israel; they recognized us.

Ne were going to build ourselves a house to live in. . .

Didn't you get a building permit?

They don't give permits. . .

But they do take bribes.

When you're building the house

they don't do anything.

They wait for us to move in

before they tear it down.

If you knew they were going to tear the

house down, why'd you insist on building it?

If we ever stop resisting, lsrael won't

leave even one of us on this land.

Who's this?

My husband. He's in prison.

It's been a year and there hasn't

been even a single hearing.

Why? Because he's Palestinian.

-Is this yours?

-It's mine.

Give it to him, son.

Why won't you give it to him?

I'm not giving it, it's mine.

I'm full, I'm going to my room.

Put this on.

Thank you, but I can't accept it.

I have to go to the embassy

and explain all of this.

They're not just looking for us,

they're looking for you too.

It was great to meet you.

Actually, it would have been better to get to

know each other some other way, but don't worry. . .

. . . I'll tell them the truth,

that you're innocent.

It's dangerous out there.

Thanks so much for your hospitality.

Don't go out there.

They'll shoot you.

Why would they shoot me honey?

They shot me.

Why?

-hey shot him coming home from school. There was

a curfew, and they shoot anyone out in the street.

I'm so sorry.

These violent policies have

nothing to do with us.

A real Jew would never allow that.

You are Jewish?

What are you doing?

There are terrorists here,

and we've come to apprehend them.

This is Palestinian territory. . .

You have no authority here.

Leave and get you men out of here.

We're going to enter this district.
