...Secretary of the Rooms Committee,
Bungalow 12, Gan Dafna.
1:48:05
We have no kadi...
1:48:07
...to pray for Taha's soul.
1:48:09
And we have no rabbi...
1:48:12
...to pray over Karen.
1:48:15
Taha should have lived a long life...
1:48:18
...surrounded by his people and his sons.
1:48:23
And death should have come to him...
1:48:26
...as an old friend...
1:48:28
...offering the gift of sleep.
1:48:31
It came, instead, as a maniac.
1:48:34
And Karen, who loved her life...
1:48:37
...and who lived it as purely as a flame,
why did God forget her?
1:48:41
Why did she have to stumble
onto death so young?
1:48:45
And all alone?
1:48:47
And in the dark?
1:48:51
We of all people...
1:48:53
...should no longer be surprised
when death reaches out to us.
1:48:57
With the world's insanity
and our own slaughtered millions...
1:49:01
...we should be used to senseless killing.
1:49:04
But I am not used to it.
I cannot and will not get used to it.
1:49:07
I look at these two people,
and I want to howl like a dog.
1:49:12
I want to shout "murder"...
1:49:15
...so that the whole world will hear it
and never forget it.
1:49:20
It's right that these two people
should lie side by side in this grave...
1:49:24
...because they will share it in peace.
1:49:27
But the dead always
share the earth in peace.
1:49:30
And that's not enough.
It's time for the living to have a turn.
1:49:34
A few miles from here,
people are fighting and dying...
1:49:36
...and we must join them. But I swear...
1:49:39
...on the bodies of these two people...
1:49:42
...that the day will come
when Arab and Jew will share...
1:49:46
...in a peaceful life...
1:49:48
...this land that they
have always shared in death.
1:49:56
Taha, old friend...
