:17:01
"He loves the boy. Maybe Ari can
stop his indelicate activities."
:17:06
-Also correct?
-Also.
:17:09
But they want something more.
:17:10
If the UN votes for Partition,
we'll have the Arab world on our backs.
:17:14
Our only hope is an alliance
between Irgun and Haganah.
:17:17
An alliance to fight? Of course.
:17:20
The minute Haganah adopts our policy
of fighting instead of talking...
:17:24
...an alliance between us becomes automatic.
:17:26
You're not being fair.
:17:28
When it comes to fighting,
Haganah has lost more lives than Irgun.
:17:31
We fight to defend ourselves, or to capture
positions that we can occupy and hold.
:17:35
When you attack it's just to spread terror.
:17:40
Your duty is done.
You have given me the official line.
:17:45
But what about you, Ari?
:17:46
Forget Haganah for one moment,
and tell me what you think.
:17:50
I think these bombings and these killings
hurt us with the United Nations.
:17:53
A year ago we had the respect
of the whole world.
:17:56
Now, when they read about us,
it's nothing but terror and violence.
:18:00
It's not the first time
this happens in history.
:18:03
I don't know of one nation,
whether existing now or in the past...
:18:07
...that was not born in violence.
:18:10
Terror, violence, death.
:18:13
They are the midwives
who bring free nations into this world.
:18:17
Compromisers like the Haganah
produce only abortions.
:18:20
Before you have a country,
you have to have people.
:18:23
That's the job we've done.
Tens of thousands of people smuggled in...
:18:26
...with the whole British Navy
blockading the coast.
:18:30
The population we've built
is our most valid argument for independence.
:18:33
How can we ask the UN for a just decision...
:18:36
...when we keep blowing up things
like a bunch of anarchists?
:18:39
You have just used the
words "a just decision."
:18:42
May I tell you something?
:18:45
Firstly...
:18:46
...justice itself is an abstraction...
:18:49
...completely devoid of reality.
:18:52
Second, to speak of justice and Jews
in the same breath...
:18:57
...is a logical uncertainty.
:18:59
Thirdly...
