The Wooden Gun takes place in Tel Aviv in the early 1950s. In a clear-eyed fashion that would have been impossible in a film made by "outsiders", the plot details the conflict between ...

THE WOODEN GUN

Introducing: Eric Rosen
as Youni Schreiber

Written and Directed by:
Ilan Mossenzon

Tel Aviv, april 1950

- Is that, where he'll be?
- There. He'll come out of the school.

Now we pound him
Into meatloaf, puree him.

- We've never hit a lone soldier before.
- Well, we will now.

You're just saying that
because he's in your class.

- Am not. It's against the rules.
- There are no rules.

We've got to win this, once
and for all. Get it?

This war's been going on
for three months now.



Danny, this is not the time
to go for a piss?

Get over here. Little wimp.

Yoini doesn't deserve this, he's
the best one out of them all.

- Why should we pick on Youni?
- Why?

Because when his nut-job mother
sees what we've done to him,

she'll break up their gang
by tomorrow morning. You dig?

- He's still the best one out of them.
- None of them are any good.

He's our enemy, how could
he be any good? Huh?

- Voram, go see if he's coming.
- Sure. You can trust me.

Mickey, climb that tree.

Danny, go hide behind the fountain.

Anatoly, stay with me.

Adi, he's coming!

I'm alone.



It's against the rules.

You can't.

Get him!

Ow, my arm!

- My arm!
- sure, I broke your arm.

Next time, it'll be
your skull, get that?

- We win! - Hey... - The war in
this neighborhood is over.

What are you doing here?!
- Come on. - Go home! Go!

Com on, Anatoly!

Revenge, that's what I want.

THey were all there when
Adi broke my arm,

But the cast only comes off
tomorrow, isn't it a bit soon?

I've waited a month,
I'm not waiting any longer.

If you didn't walk alone at night,
away from crowds,

I can walk where I want, when I want.
It's a free country.

Jackass!

Mister Yonatan Schleive,

at wich time you may beat
your friends with both hands.

You know something? I don't
know who you are lately.

- We're here! Students, we've arrived!
- Yes!

Check out htis heat, damn!
Where's he dragged us to?

- What is it?
- Ammo!

Those are the toughest cones
around, we're sure to win.

Why are we here, Noah? - Where to?
- Nowhere... - Follow me!

What is this? Where's
he dragging us off to?

Noah's filpped, no foolin'.

Jerusalem.

Jerusalem...

Cherished for generations.

Jerusalem, the eternal city.

Thousands of generations have
dreamt of thee, Jerusalem.

There's nothing but mountains here,
where's Jerusalem?

"Blessed art thou, Lord..."

"Who gave us life and brought
us to this day." - Amen.

- Yes Jerusalem.
- We don't see any Jerusalem.

What are you doing?

What are you doing there?

What's he looking for?
- I'd love to have a chat!

with your mother when we
get back to shcool.

What's this?

Quit it...

"It is neither a religious
problem, nor a social one..."

"It is neither a religious
problem, nor... nor..."

I just wanted four eggs, and
he wouldn't give them to me.

I should've gotten next week's rations!
"Got complaints?"

"Address them to Dov Yossef.
Austerity is austerity"

The baby's ill, why should she
suffer, over this jerk?

Why should Anatoly suffer?
Why should your Youni suffer, Mari

Of all places, he had to
take them to Jerusalem.

I can't fathom it. Just look
at the time! - I'm fed up,

Maia, I'm all out of patience.

"When first came here, there
was nothing but sand"

"and jackals." Miraculous.
All I want is a decent life,

that's all I want.
I've suffered enough.

I don't know what I'm looking
for this country.

Have you got a choice Henja?

- I might. _ Children, get ready,
we're starting. Quickly.

Quickly! We won't make it,
hurry up. What is this?

Dor, Dor, we're starting.

"The defendant's strength..."
- What? What? Defenders.

"The defenders' strength
availed them no longer,"

"and on that day, the Romans
breached the temple defenses,"

"and set it.. - Aflame."
- "And set it aflame."

"At the sight of the fire
engulfing the hallowed place,"

"the people's spirits fell."

Well, get on with it.

"And the Romans did deal them
a forceful blow,'

and blood ran like water over
the streets of jerusalem."

Children, get up, get up.
Run about, run about...

Faster. Run about. Yes.
Like that.

Yes. Turn about! Forcefully!
Yes, like that! Good! Yes.

"We have brought
peace unto you,"

"we have brought peace unto
you, we have brought peace..."

Strong, strong!
- And strengthening!

Tomorrow at eight,
school as usual! - Boo!

We don't want school!
We don't want school!

This stupid school...
- We don't want school!

- How do you feel?
- Splendid! Why?

- This morning's migraine is gone?
- It was just a headache.

Good thing I went, then,
instead of staying with you.

Of course it's good.
I wanted you to go.

What did you think
I didn't want you to go?

I'm glad you went, and glad
you cam back. How's your arm?

Does it hurt? - No.
- How was it?

You said you wouldn't pick me
up from field trips anymore.

out here in front of everyone.
- what's with you, Kauffman?

Should I p romise,
here and now?

Don't promise, but try to
get a grip on yourself.

Yoni, you know it's only three
days 'till Independence Day?

We haven't made plans yet.

Got anything in mind?
- Dunno. We'll see.

I had an idea... - What?

It's a suprise. You'll see.

Hello. - Hello.

Same show as last year, again.

All those fires and disasters.
Enough!

Did you get a load of Herzl?
- Yeah, it's Adi.

Curse him!

Him and all his
dimwit friends.

Henja, we're going.
- Why'd you call her?

Come on.

Yoni, where are you going?
Be careful!

Kauffman, you're Theodore
Herzl! Kauffman!

We keep getting people
here from Europe.

Refugees from the war.
Sure. - Victims.

Check out what just came in.

Scope out that glass eye.

It's revolting!

Let's go.

Does your mother know the war
is starting again? - Not yet.

Best she doesn't
find out, right?

If I said we were deposing
a dictator, she'd understand.

And what if she doesn't?

Younatan, we know everything.

We know you're losing the cast
tomorrow and reorganizing.

That's not true.

You watch yourself, I'm not
sparing you or anyone else.

You're not scaring us. - Yeah?
How about now?

Mommy! A knife!

Fire!

After him!

Younatan, you won't reform,

The war ended a month ago,
we won. Get it?

Go home, mommy's boy!
- Go play the piano, pianist!

How was Jerusalem?

Nice? - Noah says Jerusalem
without the Wailing Wall

We can do without that crown.

When I'm older, I'll reconquer
the whole old city!

What a tan! That's some color
you got there. Manly.

The things we saw in Jerusalem!

Some revisionists on the
walls aimed their guns at us,

and a tank passed us by, we
touched the treads and turret.

You want me to take you to
the hospital for your cast,

If the Arabs start with us
again, we'll wipe them out.

We'll settle our debts. - What
debts? It's all over, right?

Over? We thought up a way to
reconquer the old city by now,

we'll flank them
from the mountains

Yoni, the war's over. We're
fine with Jerusalem as it is,

and when the Arabs make
peace, you can go to the Wall,

if it matters so much to you.

Noah knows nothing. He's not
as smart as Ben Gurion, right?

Then remember what Ben Gurion
has to say about peace.

you have to finish it! - You
shouldn't start it.

You don't know anything
about politics.

Look, youni, it's not even
open to debate.

We gave the angel
of death our tithe,

Damn your teacher to Hell,
for making you soldiers now.

He's making soldiers of us?
Maybe a little

Einschwein makes
soldiers of us.

Damn that fat cretin to Hell!
- He's a decorated commander.

Yoni, there won't be another
war in the neighborhood.

Yoni, it's over, isn't it?

They jumped me, five to one.

They broke the rules.

They hurt our honor.

I've got a score to settle,
we need revenge!

We're soldiers.

You've no business
getting revenge.

You don't understand anything!

Quiet, Palestina, go home!
Go!, Go! Quiet! No singing!

It's late at night!

Go home, Palestina, home!

You're getting dangerous!

Soon we'll make a real soldier
out of you, huh?

We assaulted an outpost in the
mountains with Noah today.

Did the old man
charge with you?

You bet! He stumbled, but he
got up and ran the whole way.

Who was the enemy? - No one,
It was just pretend.

It was hot hard.
- So, so.

Imagine what it'd be like
with a real enemy,

raining bullets down on you,
with the sun scorching you,

the mosquitoes working their
way everywhere, in every...

It takes a lot of guts, right?
- It takes faith, and courage.

We had faith in our way,
in our righteous struggle.

With faith came courage.

Which hill did you charge?
Did Noah tell you?

No, but there was a big rock,
and pine trees.

Imagine that was thet hill
I fought on. - I wish!

There's no sign of the mine
that screwed me over, eh?

Well, I'm glad you charged.

Did you ration water?
- Last thing we needed.

How come?

If you start something,
do it all the way.

This country
needs tough people.

Tough people.

Dad, one is enough. - Never
give anything back.

I'm going to Haifa tomorrow.

What?

People are coming in from
Poland. I'll be at the harbor.

What do you want, Miriam?
You want me to thank God

Will you be at the harbor
every week, until August?

I can't afford these trips,

A miser and an egotist, that's what you are.

You hate me, I know that.
- A miser and an egotist?

Yes. You all hate me, you all
make me miserable.

Enough, let go, let me go!
Go away! I want to go home!

Do me a favor, enough
with the hysterics,

We didn't stop looking, not
an instant in all these years.

Well, tell him what
you told me earlier.

What is it?

Tell him!

We want to get revenge
on Adi Kauffman.

Adi Kauffman.

One last battle, revenge for
everything he's done to us.

Yoni, there won't be another war.
I can't take any more.

It's been a month, I thought
you'd calmed down. Why now?

We were waiting for them
to take off my cast.

And you think you should start
it all over again?

Do you have a plan of action?

Einschwein will be back
tomorrow, we'll plan this out.

There won't be another war
here, Yitzhak. - Of course not.

Take your plate and go to your room.

The Voice of Israel from
Jerusalem, good morning.

"It is 7:00 AM, and here's
Re'uma Eldar with the news."

I don't see how a kids' game
could get you so upset.

"...the Russian delegation..."
- But it's not a game.

"Will vote to annex Jerusalem's
new city areas to Israel,"

"and will dispute Abdallah's
claim to the old city."

"A prolonged firefight
Took place last night"

"between the defense forces and
several intruders by Yahud."

"The raiders escaped,"

"leaving behind tools and other
agricultural goods"

"they had plundered from
the surrounding area."

"Around the country, final
preparations are being made"

"for the Independence Day festivities."

"Jerusalem is decked in blue
and white in anticipation of"

"the military parade which will
take place in the afternoon..."

Danny, this is a school, we
don't play with slingshots.

Jackass!

"Yoni and Anna, sitting
in a tree..."

"Yoni and Anna, sitting
in a tree..."

Rileys! As usual, huh?

Rileys, please go find out

who's disgracing the memory of
the heroic Shualei Shimshon,

and have them cease their
squawking at once! Go.

Yes. Good, to your seat.
Good for nothing. Go.

Jackass! - You too!

Pole!

Yoni, sit down.

"Bialik"

"To the Bird"

"Bialik - Our National Poet"

"Be your return welcome,
dear bird,"

"from warmer climes
to my sill,"

"with a voice so honeyed
my soul yearns for it"

"in the winter, as you depart."

Who chirped? Who chirped?

Trough pain..

and torment, Ha'im Nachman Bialik expresses

his longing for his homeland.
And you joke like buffoons!

Countless generations have wept and dreamt,

and you joke like buffoons!

But Bialik reached Israel, right?
- Right, right,

that he did, most certainly.

Then why bother weeping?

They should have broken the
gentiles' arms and faces.

They were just chickens,
everyone in exile.

My father knew Bialik,
I know where he lives.

Bialik, when he was your age,

dwelt in a hostile land,
persecuted...

Do you see Einschwein?

Einschwein!

What did you say?
What did you say?

One moment, Get up.
What did you just say?

What did you say? What
word did you use?

He said "Einschwein".

"Einschwein", Do you have
any idea what you just said?

Do you know the Germans called
us "Schweine Jude"?

Jewish swine.

Who did you call that name?

The fat guy. His dad died in
the Independence War.

What's he doing there?
- Tubby. Whale.

Sit down, all of you.
Take your seats.

All is lost.
All is lost.

Could you cut that out?
- What gives? I'm rehearsing.

Kauffman, the principal
wants you.

You're lucky.
- Who's Avraham Rottenbach?

This fat guy.

Yo're Avraham Rottenbach?
- Yeah.

He wants you, too.

Are you an Israeli hero's son?
- Forget it.

We've known for some time
about the war you wage.

We have other troops.
- Please do not interrupt me.

We also know Yonatan's arm
was not broken playing soccer.

Word of the violent and cruel
misdeeds you perpetrate.

You,

who study in a school
wholly of the working class,

you, called upon to succeed
the likes of A. D. Gordon and

Haiim Brenner.

You, who reside in the Holy Land,

deny all that is sacred
to our people.

The people's eyes look to you,

your persecuted brethren,
legions of the pious,

all look to you with
fear and hope...

Little scamp!

What a burden rests
upon your shoulders!

What wondrous maturity
history demands of you!

What dire obligations fate
has allotted you!

You are called upon to create,
build and fortify,

Think. Ponder his marvelous
duty bequealthed by history.

you are depraved children,
a destructive element.

We will disgorge all hooligans
from within our midst.

Mister Kauffman,

did you think I would pardon you uncionditionally,
because you are an orphan?

One more complaint, and you're
out of this school. Out, out.

As for you, mister Schreiber,

you did a terrible thing during
a lesson about our national poet.

A terrible thing!

After Independence Day,
report here with your parents,

without whom I do not want to
see you in this school again.

Never again! Understood?

What is it?

I... I didn't know it was a bad
word in German.

March!

In the shack at three, an
important staff meeting.

What about? - We have to plan
for battle, don't we?

I have a surprise
you won't believe,

a new weapon. We'll make
them bleed. Bleed.

"Relative finding for the Jewish Agency,"

"the following names were
received by the department:"

"Yehoshua ben Shlomo
Avramovitch, from lodz"

"seeks his sister - Avramovitch"

"who reached Israel in May of
'39. - Lodz... - with 'haHalutz'"

"apparently headed for a kibbutz in..."

- Did you get it all?
- No. Yeah, all of it.

- Yes or no?
- Yes.

"Avraham ben Moshe Green,
Ternopol, seeks his brother.."

"Trompopopel. - ...who was
in a concentration camp Dakhau,"

"and was transferred to
Marseilles when the war ended."

"Miriam and Israel Shapira
from Lithuania"

"seek relatives
in the country."

"Yaffa bat Leon from Slosnki"

"seeks her sister, Rosa Leoni"

"who left her town in 1943 and
wasn't heard from since"

"Piotr Kolodni of Krakowi"

"seeks his nephew, son of
Yitzhak Yossef Kolodni,"

"who fled to Paris
during the war,"

"and died upon reaching Israel
in early May of '48."

Maybe the woman from Europe
knows where our family is.

I know where they are, I don't
need to ask anyone.

Then why do we listen to
relative finding every day?

Come to the table, I have to
be back at the store.

Was everyone on
the broadcast in the war?

Some of them.

When will you tell me the full
story of the Holocaust?

Eat.
- When?

- When you're older.
- I am older.

Yoni,

dad's waiting for me at
the store, you know?

Either way no one, can
afford anything.

I'll get it.

"The Voice of Israel from
Jerusalem, good afternoon,"

"it's 1:30, and here's Re'uma
Eldar with.."

It's Henja.

"Our top story"

"21 cannon shots, trumpets
and boat foghorns"

"will announce to the nation
it's third Independence Day."

"preparations spanning a week
will end tomorrow.."

What?

"public and private buildings
now sport flags..."

We're going away.

We're going to Haifa.

Yoni's coming!

- I have an urgent message...
- Not now.

What, are you going to spill
water on the European woman?

Tzvika, go get here here,
bring her here. - But how?

- Find a way, draw her here.
- Okay.

Come here, lady.
- Why? Where?

- Come here.
- What's you names?

Tzvika. - Tzvika. Sweetie,
sweetie, sweetie.

Taking walk. What, no friend?
- Got'em. - Got friend.

Stand, lady, stand. - Why?
Wait, wait, where going?

Really, there are too many
immigrants around today.

Yeah, the radio said 200,000
arrived just this year.

Who needs them, anyway?
They should stay in Europe.

Yoni, what did you want to say
earlier, in the street?

Oh. Anatoly's leaving the
neighborhood, moving to Haifa.

Haifa. - Who said that?

His mother spoke to mine.

Then we're five versus four!
Victory is ours!

Attention!

You know what people mean when
they talk about Haifa? - No.

Well, fine, maybe the really
are moving to Haifa.

She really said "Haifa".

Your watch is up, get
on the tower. - Yes, sir!

Now will you show us the new
weapon? - Come in, come in,

Sit, sit.

Are these the pine cones
form Jerusalem? - Yeah.

My dad was brave, he killed
Arabs with his bare hands,

until they killed him.
- And why'd the kill him?

Because bare hands aren't how
you win a modern war.

In moder warfare, you need
modern weaponry.

Not pebbles or peach pits,

not even pine cones
from Jerusalem.

You need something strong and
cruel to ensure victory.

In Haifa, I was shown
this weapon.

It.. It's a gun!

A real gun.

A sling gun.

The barrel's like
an ordinary gun's.

Here's the ammo.

It's iron.

Rusty.

You could kill someone
with this. - Right.

Let me show you
how it works.

Einschwein!

There's a pigeon.
- Where? - No, not it.

Shoot it.

Einschwein, You're out of range,
the're lots of other ragets.

- Einschwein, what's going on?
- Quiet.

- Einschwein, it's not the only target.
- Shoot it!

- Einsch... Einschwein, no!
- Quiet.

No!

You killed it.
- Wow!

It's so powerful!

Kids, what are you
doing here?!

Bastards! You're hoodlums!

Worse than Poland! The
education in this country...!

Get out of here!

Go back to Europe!

Germans on you!

You nearly broke my skull.

What's going on there?
I nearly got killed.

you should be ashamed
of yourselves...

It's so powerful!

It's too dangerous for street wars.

Nothing's too dangerous.
- This is going too far.

Nothing too far about it.
Aren't knives going too far?

If Adi's screwed up enough
to use that sort of weapon,

doesn't mean we should
use one, too.

If we hurt someone with this
gun, we'll all be expelled.

No one's getting expelled.
- This gun's for real wars.

Aren't knives for real wars?
- Listen!

We'll only aim for the legs.

Maybe the arms.
That's an order.

I'll shoot Adi.

If that's an order, we'll
lose this war.

We'll need boards,

broomsticks rubber bands
and metal wires.

I already have some wire from
the stage at school.

Yoni and Danny, scrounge
up things near Machlof.

Tzvika and Shmulik,
search between houses.

I'm going to make some arrangements

We'll rendezvous in Yoni's
apartment in an hour.

God told Ben Gurion
"It shall be good,"

"there shall be peace", he said
"the Messiah will come,"

"The Messiah will come!"

"we have a country,
we have... land."

Thus spoke the Lord,

"God forgives,
Palestina forgives,"

"everyone will come."
It is written,

"Jews will come, everyone
will come, there'll be peace,"

"there'll be a country, Jews
won't die, kids won't die,"

"everyone will come home,
Jewish kids won't die,"

"kids won't die, everyone
will come to Palestina."

"No one will die, everyone
will laugh, Jews will laugh,"

so says the Bible.

Lunatic! Lunatic! Lunatic!

Lunatic! Lunatic! Lunatic!

What are those sticks for?

They probably want
to build something.

Give me a nail.

Palestina saw us swipethe planks,
she got scared and ran off,

hid behind some shack, like
something unreal.

Nutter.

She saw her kids get
shot, in Europe.

Her parents and her kids.

Nearly everyone fom Europe
lost an uncle or grandparent,

right, Einschwein?
- Anyone, who didn't run got killed.

Our family got away.

So where are they now?

Poland, jerk.

My mother said once they open
the gates, they'll come here.

My grandparents and cousins
all died in the Holocaust.

Curse their names, the Germans.

Just you wait 'till our army
can pay everyone back.

They always killed our people,
now we'll kill theirs. - Who's?

Who could that be?

Who's there? Who's there?

Yonatan, open the door!

It's Adi.

I want Einschwein to
come face me in a duel.

Einschwein's not here.
- You liar, Tzvika,

I can smell him from out here.

If you don't open up. I'll break in!
- You wouldn't dare.

I'm counting to three! - Creep.
- One... - Murderer!

...two, three!

Murderous batard, your
days are numbered!

Tomorrow, alfter the play
at school, we get even.

I'll plan it all out.
Follow me!

They trashed your house?

It's because you won't
obey your parents.

Where are you going?

Are you running away?

Could you take me with you?

I saw you come here. Did you come
to drive Palestina nuts?

I'm not in the neighborhood
war anymore,

we're going away.

I know.

How do you know?

Your mother came over and
told us this afternoon.

we're not going to Haifa, but
leaving the country. - What?

When someone's ashamed to be
leaving, they say "Haifa".

I might run away, too.
- Because of the war?

After Kauffman's Pogrom, my
parents'll never forgive me.

They won't let me fight.

Then just don't.

I won't stop. I'm on my way
to my ocean hideout,

I may stay there a few days
after the revenge battle.

Can you keep a secret? - Yes.

Then come with me.

But I have to go home now.

I'll run away and come back
to Israel, you'll see!

Mom, is this because
of the door.

It was nothing. I'm here.

Talk to me!

I wasn't the one who broke it,
it's a game. Just a game!

Open this door!

Yonatan, open the door!

You'll pay dearly for this!
- I... I want to talk.

Talk?

Yes. - We've had
enough talk.

You never let me talk.
- Open up!

Only if you promise not
to hit me. - Open up!

You renewed the war.
- I can't stop,

Adi mustn't win. He's
a tyrant, he's vicious!

Have you tried
seeing his side?

The kid grew up
without parents.

No one knows what horrible end
they met in Europe.

We don't want to kill him;

we'll hurt him so much no one
will want to fight with him.

We'll disband his gang,
once and for all.

You want to have an attack
which may hurt other kids,

with only remote
chances of success.

Like the War of Independence?
And Normandy? El Alamein?

You can't make examples
of grown up wars,

They're exactly the same,
we checked.

Your war is dangerous
and unnecessary.

It's child's play, like every
other neighborhood. - Not ours.

But why? - You'll understand
When you're older.

Because of the Holocaust?
- Because we tell you.

We know it is.

We can play what we want,

just butt out, You can't intefere.

Oh, we'll intefere, all right!

We swore, we have rules.
You can't intefere.

I'll say this one last time:
There won't be another war!

Can't help it.

We'll see what you can...
and can't help.

No, dad, not the belt, please!
You promised!

Where will you go? There's
no place for you here!

You hear me?

The war is over. Got it?

Over!

Over! Over!

Let go of me!

- Let go of me!
- Enough! Enough!

Over!

Maybe he really did go
to his uncle in the kibbutz.

Yoni didn't go, this fight
means more to him than to us.

Fine, where is he, then?
- He'll be here.

If not, we start anyway, we
can't miss this opportunity.

Beraleh, get up, scram! - What?
Get out of here!

Scram, go away!

- What wicked kids!
- Run off!

Go away!

Maybe he got scared, bolted.
- Yoni's much braver than you!

You shut up, you never
even wanted this war!

Really? Says who?

We saw you wet yourself
after we shot that pigeon.

I did not wet myself! - You're
a cowardly son of a coward!

And this weapon will
bring us victory!

Don't you call my dad
a coward!

Your dad wasn't in the War
of Independence, we all know.

Your mom sells things on
the black market, we all know.

"Your mom, your dad", barely
an hour before the battle.

What are we,
the Egyptian army?

At last. - Knew you'd come.

Where from?
- Ocean hideout.

Alone, at night?

I'll go back after the war.

Your dad came over,
looking for you.

They found out in the morning,
he's at the kibbutz now.

Why'd you run, did they
smack you around?

My dad, and how.

And my mom, with her charades...
I'll show them!

The're looking for you like
crazy - That oughta teach 'em!

Come on, we're short on time,
we'll talk later.

Shmulik, tell Yoni the plan on
the way to the play.

I'm not going there,
I'll get caught.

So you'll wait in the street?
You'll get nabbed for sure.

Come to the play and
hide, then, strike when we do.

Take these rifles, form
a line in front of the target.

Ok, look, during the play,

'Schwein'll get the principal
to go through Adi's pockets,

even though we know he gave
the knife back already.

Then we run to the shack
and get the rifles prepped.

The moment they leave, they
blunder into our ambush.

What if Adi comes after us?

He can't, he's in the play.

It's not much of a plan.

Load rifles.

Take aim...

Fire!

Very good, very good, Yoni!

I see Adi's in for
a surprise today.

"The Jewish Question exists,
whether recognized or not."

"It is neither a religious
problem, nor a social one,"

"but a national one,
with but one solution:"

"a return to Israel,
to our homeland of youre."

"Throughout our history,"

"we have not ceased to dream:
Next year in Jerusalem."

"Now is the time to fulfill
this dream and found a nation,"

"the Jewish state."

"Uproarious was the response
to the call of the visionary,"

"Benjamin ze'ev Herzl.
Echoed the world over,"

"from the futhest reaches
of the earth..."

"the people responded with one..."
- voice...

"Never again!"

What gives? Let go!

Kauffman, this is your end!

Hey, kid, kid, where to?

Leave the door that way,
leave it open for Tzvika.

Where are you going, kids?
What is all this?

Where are you going, kids?
What is all this?

Wait for me here, I'll
go get my knife.

My gun's here, I left yours
at home, to be safe.

Now we'll show 'em
what we're made of.

I'm going up, to get the guns.
Wait for me here.

Damn...

Bastard! - Fatty!

Meanie! - Moron! - Ox!

Einschwein, I found ammo!

On them!

I'll kill you.

Kill him, shoot him!

Shoot him, for all he's done to us!

Shoot him, Don't be scared,
shoot, shoot! Kill him!

Kill him!

It's against the rules.
- Don't be scared!

Shoot him! - It's not fair.

- Shoot him! He broke your arm!
No mercy!

Don't be scared! Shoot him!
Break his head!

Shoot him!

Don't be scared!

What happend?
You killed him!

Education's to blame, it's
as though they were gentiles!

No good! No good! Sand.

Palestina fix wound.

My...

...little

boy.

My little boy.

Why? Why?

Come.

Don't be afraid, boy.

Palestina likes boy. Go.

Sit.

Palestina fix wound, yes?

Sand. No good.

Hurts?

Is that you?

These are your kids.
You had kids.

Where is this?

Who are they?

Did they shoot them?

The Nazis shot them.

Everyone will come.

Everyone is coming.

Mother, father,

grandfather, grandmother,
they're all coming.

Son, daughter, cat. Everyone's coming.

Palestina is waiting.

Here,

by the sea.

"Shoot him! Kill him!"

"Kill him! Break his head!
Don't be scared"

"For everything he's done to us!
Break his head!"

Why?

Why, boy?

No crying, no, big boy,
hero soldier boy.

Hero soldier boy,
in land of Palestina!

No crying.

"This is not your last trek,
you must never say die,"

"though clouds banish
the sun from the sky,"

"The time for which we've
longed draws ever more near,"

"our footfalls shall sound,
we are here, we are here!"

"Palestina's nuts as can be
and pissed into the sea,"

"Palestina's nuts as can be
and pissed into the sea,"

"Palestina, give a fig,
the consul dines on pig,"

"Palestina, give a fig,
the consul dines on pig,"

Forget her, let's go see
Yoni, at the hideout!

Let's handle her first,
then Yoni!

Get out!
- Get out!

Get out, Palestina!

Get out!
- Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Come out, already!

What are you doing there,
Yoni? What happend?

Yoni, we brought food and blankets,
since you'll have to hide.

Come on, Yoni! - Come on!

Is Adi alive?

He is. They took him to Hadassa hospital.

He won't show his face in
the neighborhood again!

Hear that? He's alive!

Adi's grandma was at your
parents' shop,

she talked to your mother,

maybe you should just
set sail for Europe.

You're a hero!

Three cheers for Yoni,
the heroic victor.

Hip, hip! - Hurrah!

Hip, hip! - Hurrah!

Hip, hip! - Hurrah!

Yoni, what is it?
What did she do to you?

Come on Yoni!
- She enchanted him!

Yoni, come on!

Come check out
all the fish. - Yoni
