:47:02
...that is more fairy tale
than the Arablan Nlghts?

:47:05
From Damascus,
from Amman, from Cairo...

:47:09
...they send messengers to tell me
the Jews will destroy our land...

:47:12
...and ravish our women.
- How can you believe...

:47:14
So I should send all my men at once
to the Grand Mufti's army.

:47:21
- What answer do you have?
- Your own eyes.

:47:23
They aren't destroying your land.
:47:25
Even a blind man can see,
for the first time the desert is blooming.

:47:28
They're not ravishing your women.
They don't even like your women.

:47:32
That is not much of an answer.
They don't even like their women.

:47:36
Listen...
:47:38
...for 50 years
you have lived beside us without hate.

:47:41
- Why now, a holy war?
- I'll tell you why:

:47:44
The Grand Mufti, King Abdullah,
and the Husseinis...

:47:46
...see the chance to win
money, power and land.

:47:48
They're fighting to see who gets the most.
:47:50
- That's true.
- So I'll get some, too.

:47:52
They won't leave
one camel for your people.

:47:54
You know them better than I.
:47:56
You'll fight the war for them,
but when it's over...

:47:59
...you'll be worse off than before.
:48:01
Or you'll be dead.
:48:03
I have no love for the Husseini family.
:48:07
I'll support you with all of my men...
:48:10
...if you can first prove to me
that you are strong like your father.

:48:13
For then you will win.
:48:15
How can I believe you? I need proof, too.
:48:20
Wait a minute.
:48:27
Across the border,
near the mosque of Mishmar Hayarden...

:48:30
...the Syrians are gathering supplies
for an attack next week.

:48:35
Eight hundred rifles.
:48:38
Mortars, two-inch, 21.
:48:42
Petrol, four tanks of 2,000 liters.
:48:48
Three cannons of 75 millimeter.
:48:52
We finish. Now your proof.
:48:57
- The supplies will be destroyed.
- You're committing my men.
