A thought-provoking dialogue: iFilm cut from ‘The Survivor’

In a moment from ‘The Survivor’, set to air on Saturday, October 21, 2023, in honor of the recent tragedy in Gaza, a thought-provoking conversation takes place between two parents.

This dialogue exchange sheds light on the Palestinian determination to reclaim their land.

• I'm preaching to the Palestinians that they shouldn't leave their homes, and you want me to go against what I preach? You want me to go save my son and grandson? You, Shimon, and the Zionists, you all want one thing. You want us to leave our homes. If each one of us was to favor his interests above those of the country, what will happen then? We'll be no more than a herd of sheep, ruminating our fodder peacefully, unaware of what's going on around us, and suddenly, we'll be slaughtered and drowned in our own blood.

• Aren't you upset with what's happening to your son?

• No, I'm even happy because my son knows that Palestine is suffering from deadly diseases much worse than tetanus, angina, measles, and cancer!

• Even if it leads to your son's death?

• Even if it does!

This powerful dialogue underscores the profound resilience of the Palestinian people in the face of adversity, as they stand firm in their commitment to their homeland, even when faced with heartbreaking personal sacrifices.
