11:04 am
it's obvious that we've come a long way to reach this point. for years, generation after generation, we've been trying and today we're on the verge of success, on the verge of achieving victory. our long weight is about to bear fruit. the last time when i visited the king of jordan he asked: "why are you in such a hurry
11:05 am
and why do you insist so much and you should be patient?" i said, "we've been waiting for 2,0 years. do you still believe that we are of impatient? we might not remember all the 200 years, but at least i for one can talk about the hardships and efforts me and my parents went through. i asked. abdullah, do you remember all the days and seconds of the nabitians? do you remember all their sufferings after the arrival of the romans? no, but it's obvious that you and fesel, who want to establish a government in jordan and iraq today, remember your father's efforts. even if sharif hussein had not passed away in 1931, he could have talked about about the
11:06 am
dream that had been kept alive for 77 years to pass it to you. it was these growing sufferings that let herzel to request the establishment of a home for jews, and only year before i was born, of the first world jewish congress was formed in
11:07 am
switzerland, the first candle was lit and it was supposed to shine light to the dark corner of the world. i was less than 9 years old. i mean it was in 1906 when my parents and shina and zipka, the other two daughters of the family arrived in the united states. she now was... 17 years old and zipka was four years younger than me. the us was a place that seemed to be the promised land for the whole world. my dad had gone to new york a year earlier and we spent that year in belarus. in 1906. we decided to join my dad
11:08 am
in milwaukee, wisconsin. at that time, the second wave of immigration to palestine, the promised land, had begone. my father did not want to experience another displacement. many of our fellow jews tried to persuade him to go to palestine instead of the us, but there of was still no government and law in that land. the ottoman empire was getting weaker day by day. hertzsel met with abdullah hamid ii, the ottom sultan, and asked him for land to build a jewish house. but the ottoman king told herzel that the jews can keep their money for themselves and he won't give any part of his.
11:09 am
empire even if he's torned to pieces. it was about that time when nearly 25,000 jews moved to palestine, the venue of divine religions. as they didn't have any land or work, those men and women had gone to that land without the governor in the hope of finding the promised land. it's obvious that jews had nowhere to go,
11:10 am
my father was... is not optimistic about the wave of migration of the fell jews to palestine, the burial place of prophet abraham. according to reports, until 1911, nearly 20,00 more migrated to palestine, they comprised about 7% of the people living in that land, but what's the point? our fellow jews driven from everywhere, possessed only 3% of the land in palestine, the... cradle of prophets and religions, according to my father, it meant we were not accepted in that land either, but from father's little golda, who has now learned some literacy in addition
11:11 am
to working and could read newspaper, clippings and news, the situation had a different meaning. a year later, in 1912, when i was about 14 years old, i ran away from my father's house in the us and went to another part of the country. have you ever had a dream to try hard in order to achieve it? it's obvious that leaving a humble house in the us a girl from kiev at the age of 14 is like jumping into hardships. at first, i got a train ticket to denver, colorado, and went to the house where shina and her husband mr. corngold were living. in that house, we
11:12 am
spent many evenings for our gatherings and discussions. that was the place that formed an important part of my future, where i met the designer morris mayerson. the person who later became my first love and we even got married, yes, i went to denver so i could study faster and understand things faster, so it didn't take long for me to find the definitive path of my life. it only took three years for me to realize that i wanted to become a teacher. "i was still a teenager and i was considered an unofficial member, but i found the continuation of my dream in a group that might be the first jewish labor
11:13 am
party. in those days, i didn't even think that one day i would tell the jordanian king face to face that we've been running and falling down and..." waiting for 2000 years, but that unofficial membership in the labor party was the beginning of my efforts with love. we did a lot of things in that party. back then i was thinking exactly like the great austrian journalist theather hurzel, the founder of the jewish agency and the mastermind of the jewish state manifesto. herzzel and his book for zinism for traditional jews. is just like judah hanasi and his mishna, the first section of the talmut. in whatever society we were in, we
11:14 am
tried with complete sincerity to integrate with that society in our social life and harmonize with them, and at the same time preserve the faith of our... sisters, but we were not allowed. over the next two years, about 20,00 more jews emigrated to palestine under the ottoman empire, and unfortunately, it's obvious that they still did not benefit from the lands and were considered guests, the unrecognized jews, while living on the outskirts of arab cities, continued to own cities and choose names for their cities, but only in their
11:15 am
dreams. for example, in 1909, nahem sakalo used the name tel aviv instead the promised land in his translation of hertzill's book, it meant the spring hill. for our dreams to come true, maybe we had to start with naming those dreams in all those years. of displacement, we dreamed about a land that could be called homeland. the population of the jews that comprised 8% of the total population was one of the factors that helped england seriously interven in ottoman affairs at the end of the first world war. taking advantage of the ottoman's weakness, britain divided the levant to the countries of jordan, lebanon, palestine and syria, may god bless the soul of turchill. he was the secret
11:16 am
actor of that complicated story, and one of the few good children of jesus of nazareth. he spoke hundreds of times about britain's commitment to the jews and establishment of a jewish state. he negotiated with palestinian representatives many times and did not back down even inch. the cyx pico agreement in the 1919 paris peace negotiations set the stage for the establishment of a state for the jews. however, archibalt wavel, an officer under general allen b's orders sarcastically said the world war, which was supposed to be the... war to end war, probably this peace will also be the peace to end peace, but two
11:17 am
weeks before the beginning of the paris peace conference, the faceal whiteman agreement was signed. the agreement was one of the two documents that the zionist delegation used in the paris peace conference, and they believe that the zionists plans for. palestine, the land of calvary and the crucified prophet had already been approved by the arabs. it is obvious that you have to be a little smart.
11:18 am
the agreement was presented in english to facebook in his room at the carlton hotel in london on january the 3rd, 1919. however, fezel could not read it, and its contents were explained to him by lawrence. the only translator there, face out signed the document at that meeting without consulting his advisors who were waiting for him in a separate room. although he added a note in arabic next to his signature, conditioning the agreement on considering palestine as an independent arab region, but the zionist organization presented the agreement to the paris peace. conference without any notes or conditions. in order to preserve the unity of
11:19 am
all the displaced jews, a little lie or two would not breach morality.
11:20 am
five new territories, each them were granted to one of the superpowers and palestine was britain's share. britain's protectorate on the land caused the new wave of immigration to palestine, the venue of the exidus. the jews moved to arab cities, well, because the villages wouldn't accept them. the jewish settlements were gradually being formed. the support of wealthy jews along with the military forces of britain expedited things
11:21 am
for the jews. "put yourself in my place. with the formation of the new wave of immigration, could the young and inspirational gold mabovit get rid of the temptation of migrating to a land that had striking resemblance to the promised land? of course, i shouldn't have let go of my eternal dream amit the heart. ships, i should have ascended with the kite in the plane and followed my religious dreams.
11:22 am
two years later in 1921, at the age of 23, that enthusiastic and young teacher left the jewish labor party in the us and moved to palestine, the birthplace of abraham's descendants in the hope of fulfilling her ancient dream. during the peak of communism, jewish communities were also being formed in the occupied territories. the first kabuts were formed by the efforts of the jews, 10 years before i immigrated to palestine. these socialist villages were the ideal model of
11:23 am
peaceful and blissful life in those days. everyone was working and everyone was getting benefit, everyone as much as possible. i moved to caboot and started new life there. the government was in control of britain and the arabs expressed their protests to them more and more, but they wouldn't get any results. maybe it was for this... and that the first sparks of arab militia groups were seen in palestine, the last place jesus lived in. in 1920, they launched the nebi musa riots, as if they wanted to say that, our prophet is their prophet as well, but was it possible not to show any reaction in the face
11:24 am
the whitespread protest? it was in those years when hagana was formed, a group whose name for me is synonymous with a great man named bangoran. agana initially replaced the hashomer organization to be the jewish police in the lands under the british protectorate and act against the growing arab movements. but gradually it grew taller and reached a more significant position. obviously, i didn't want to remain just socialist teacher and
11:25 am
cook, so i became member of the hagana as well. between 1920 and 1923 i was a cook and teacher. i thought by joining the hagana i would also defend the safety of my cherished kabuts, but could the communal village of gold. and her friends see itself excluded from the rest of the jews who were exposed to dangers. at the same time, when the daughter
11:26 am
the mabovic family was looking at her family photos, realized that the dispersion of jews was still the achilles hill for their survival. maybe they could all be gathered in palestine, the property of saint mary. but how many people could be housed in our kabuts? many jews in europe were still living in suffering just like my sister and parents. i thought a place should be provided to invite all the afflicted jews. those years things had changed. idealistic jews were coming to. palestine, the heavenly land, not only from russia and eastern europe, but also from germany and the us. it was obvious that the influx of incoming people to palestine,
11:27 am
the canaan of endless romances was so massive that the arabs did their best to stop the fourth wave of immigration with civil wars. what happened in 1929 and was called the alburag uprising and bloodched. culminated near the wailing wall, next to the only remaining wall of hamikdash harishon, the first holy place built by prophet solomon, the place where muslims claimed their prophet ascended to heaven from there, and the qibla their prayers was initially there. they say this is the only open path to heaven. and both christ and muhammad ascended to heaven through that way. in the fartest mosk, the
11:28 am
al-aqsa mosk, which was built on the temple of solomon and next to the dome of the rock, the place of worshipping god, was drowned in blood. among the arab, izizadin al-ghassam had started strange and complicated establishment, small groups of five people plus a leader, none of the fighters knew each other, they only knew the leader of the group and isadin, wonderful cycle of intelligence and operations, he had started organizing and ideologically deepening his forces since many years ago, but in 1934. they made their military actions public in the mountainous areas of northern palestine. actually, they were giving us heart time.
11:29 am
11:30 am
of course, the hagana was not the only fighting force in the war. finally, according to international law, the land separated from the ottoman empire was under the guidance and control of britain. they had to fulfill their main duty, namely establishing law and order in the land under their guardianship. well, it is obvious that the britains were in harmony with us. in this way, following this wave of jewish immigration and arab opposite.
