1:03:02
Do you have the power
to call off this strike?

1:03:04
I have.
1:03:07
If a compelling reason turned up. Why?
1:03:10
Then call it off.
1:03:12
I've been talking to Gen. Sutherland.
1:03:14
He's a humane man,
but there's nothing he can do.

1:03:17
You've made the issue so flatly
that no one can help you.

1:03:21
I know it, I feel it.
Either you compromise, or you lose.

1:03:25
We won't lose.
1:03:27
If the British give in
and let us go, we've won.

1:03:29
And if we starve to death aboard this ship,
we've still won.

1:03:33
They'll wait.
1:03:35
They'll wait until you're too weak
and then come aboard and take you off.

1:03:38
It doesn't take much strength
to set off 200 pounds of dynamite.

1:03:43
You'd still set it off, knowing you've lost?
1:03:46
Of course.
1:03:48
Without any regard
for the lives you'd be destroying?

1:03:51
With every regard in the world for them.
1:03:54
I don't understand.
1:03:56
Each person on board this ship is a soldier.
1:03:59
The only weapon we have to fight with
is our willingness to die.

1:04:05
But for what purpose?
1:04:08
Call it publicity.
1:04:10
-Publicity?
-Yes, publicity.

1:04:11
A stunt to attract attention.
1:04:14
A letter to the newspapers.
1:04:17
A help-wanted ad to the official journal
of the United Nations.

1:04:22
"Wanted by 600 men,
women and children, a country...

1:04:26
"...a native land, a home."
1:04:28
That's all they're dying for.
1:04:30
Just to call attention to Israel...
1:04:33
...without ever having seen it themselves.
1:04:36
Does the vulgarity of it shock you?
1:04:41
You can't fight the whole British Empire
with 600 people.

1:04:45
It isn't possible.
1:04:46
How many Minutemen did you have
when they fired...

1:04:49
...the "shot heard round the world"?
1:04:50
-I don't know.
-77.

1:04:54
Look, please understand me.
1:04:57
I wish you could win.
1:04:59
I wish it were possible for you
to have a country of your own.
