The Syrians have
broken through

but for some reason,
they have not pressed forward.

and in too few numbers.
411

Mr. Secretary?
1054
01:15:43,344 --> 01:15:45,246
You are to open
a humanitarian corridor
1055

to the Third Army, Golda.
1056

we've got our prisoners back.

1059

And Sadat agrees
to direct talks with Israel.
1060
01:16:01,829 --> 01:16:04,665
Not the "Zionist Entity."
1061

1062

-He will never agree to that.
1064

would turn against him.
1065

If he doesn't, I will
order my planes to attack.
1066

All of them.
1068
01:16:21,749 --> 01:16:24,051
Destruction of the Third Army
would force Sadat from power.
1069
01:16:24,185 --> 01:16:26,087
He'd be hanged
in Tahrir Square.
1070
01:16:26,220 --> 01:16:29,290
Well, that thought
should focus his mind.
1071
01:16:29,423 --> 01:16:31,759
And he would be replaced
by a Soviet hardliner.

1078

When I was a child in Ukraine,
at Christmas time, my father
1079
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,549
would board up the windows
1080

-Golda.
1081
01:16:56,183 --> 01:16:57,718
...to protect us from Cossacks
1082
01:16:57,852 --> 01:17:00,287
who would get drunk
and attack Jews.
1083
01:17:02,056 --> 01:17:06,093
They would beat Jews to death
in the street for fun.
1084
01:17:06,227 --> 01:17:08,996
My father would hide us
in the cellar.
1085
01:17:09,797 --> 01:17:11,098
And we'd stay silent,
1086
01:17:11,232 --> 01:17:13,767
hoping the killers
would pass us by.
1087
