What the hell's so important
about Jerusalem, militarily?
1:36:04
Half the city's already fallen.
1:36:05
It doesn't make sense to risk everything
you've got to save the other half.
1:36:09
Did it make sense for a fellow
with a job building pyramids...
1:36:12
...to march his friends into the Red Sea?
1:36:16
Mickey, Jerusalem is starving.
1:36:19
Three pieces of bread a week
for the children, almost no water.
1:36:22
Jerusalem was destroyed
once by Nebuchadnezzar...
1:36:24
...a second time by Titus of Rome.
1:36:26
Not again, Mickey. Not again!
1:36:28
Without Jerusalem, there is no Israel.
1:36:35
The defense minister
has made another speech.
1:36:39
I'd be interested in knowing
how you intend to save it.
1:36:44
In the Bible is a Hebrew word
I've never seen anywhere else.
1:36:47
The word is "Aluf. "
1:36:49
It means commander.
1:36:51
More than that, it means leader.
1:36:54
I'm placing the unified command
of all forces in the Jerusalem front...
1:36:58
...in the hands of Aluf Michael Stone.
1:37:02
Now, wait a minute!
When I first asked for command...
1:37:05
...there was time to organize,
train, and prepare.
1:37:07
It's like giving a kid a balloon
when the party's over.
1:37:10
- I don't believe in miracles.
- About miracles, I wouldn't know...
1:37:13
...but the last Aluf mentioned in the Bible
was Joshua of Jericho.
1:37:18
I've written a note
to all brigade commanders...
1:37:20
...announcing your appointment.
1:37:24
Well?
1:37:26
Don't you want to be the first general
of the army of Israel in 2,000 years?
1:37:37
Aluf?
1:37:53
How long has this convoy
been hung up here?
1:37:54
Two days. There is hope?
1:37:58
Tell them not to keep their motors running.
