-Shalom.
-Shalom.
:47:38
I thought you were on Cyprus, David Ben Ami.
:47:40
I've been called back.
:47:42
You shouldn't have brought them here, Yaov.
:47:44
You not only risk our lives,
the Druze here in this village trust us.
:47:48
There's danger not only from the British,
the Arabs will slaughter the village.
:47:52
He insisted on talking to
you, and I have orders...
:47:55
...from Akiva that Ari Ben Canaan
may see us any time he wants to.
:47:59
Well, you're here. What do you want?
:48:02
The UN may vote on Partition
by the end of the month.
:48:05
We listen to the radio also.
:48:07
Half the leadership of Irgun
and 40 members of Haganah...
:48:10
-...are rotting down there in Acre prison.
-Including Akiva, your uncle. So?
:48:14
If Partition is voted,
we'll need every man to fight the Arabs.
:48:17
Irgun, Haganah, what
difference does it make?
:48:19
I spent 14 months in that prison.
I know every inch. I can show you-
:48:23
That town is surrounded
by 10,000 British soldiers.
:48:25
8,400. 1,600 are pulling out tomorrow
for Jerusalem.
:48:28
Acre isn't a prison, it's a fortress.
:48:30
It hasn't been successfully attacked
since the Crusades.
:48:33
He picks a place in the middle of an Arab
city, surrounded by the British Army...
:48:37
...and says to us, "Go fight."
:48:39
Napoleon bombarded it for 61 days.
:48:41
Napoleon didn't have
93 men inside. You have.
:48:43
-What about the 400 Arabs in that prison?
-We waste Irgun blood to free Arabs?
:48:48
If you turn 400 Arabs loose, they are going
to run in 400 different directions.
:48:52
Each'll have a detachment
of British soldiers on his tail.
:48:55
I will not listen.
I do not trust anybody from the Haganah.
:48:58
If we can't trust each other, there'll
be no Israel, even if Partition is voted.
