@DavidbenGurion to @Yeukuziel (Moses)

— Dear Master, I’m sorry I couldn’t share the latest events with you. I lacked words for what we witnessed. We are all very restless and worried. The enemy is now a little different. They financed an army of terror. I just saw the images. I don’t even know how to start.
— We are very busy here. Speak soon, dear, spill it.
— It was on 10/07, the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. More than 1400 were killed, people were beheaded, children and women were abused, bodies were torn to pieces. And they kidnapped 239 people of 27 nationalities. Hamas terrorists have declared war on the world, but the world hasn’t caught on yet.– Moses? Are you on the line? Everything was silent here.
(5 minutes silence)
Ben Gurion taps his cell phone to see if it’s a battery problem.
— Dear Ben Gurion, is it the same old story?
— I thought I lost you.– No, no, I’m here. (hoarse and choked voice of someone who has just controlled their crying)– Exactly, my King. But this time it was much worse, and they didn’t even try to hide it: they filmed, recorded the crimes, and were euphoric with what they were doing. One of them hysterically told his mama that he had just been slaughtered… and that a friend had roasted a baby in the oven. There was even a photojournalist with a polaroid so as not to miss any live action.– And even though we were attacked, they are accusing us of everything, can you see?– Ye. How did you know?— That never changed my dear. And when it comes to human nature, we here are always aware.– So tell me: Why? Why?– Because it works.– How?– They always needed alibis, and the idea of a scapegoat. And people have been buying into the conspiracy for centuries. It was never about the country, the fantasy is about the people of the book.– But what about a rotation, today we do, tomorrow they choose another? How about that?– It doesn’t work like that, son.— You’re very impassive. How can you stay so calm?— I trust in justice.– Seriously Master, here I am almost losing my trust in Heaven.
(Single Low Thunder)
— I’ve already discussed this with Kafka, and I can assure you, it will arrive.
— Who will arrive?– Hope. And it will come along with justice. Check Most High?
(Soft noises and rumblings from Above)
— But right now those people with whom we had affinity and who spoke about social justice, democracy and progress…
— Yes, I know everyone in this ward.
— They are also threatening us. (speaking quietly and embarrassed)– In every generation they stand up… remember?– But now those people from old Germania have joined forces – who today, surprise , are on our side. Even so, the streets are full of people, I’m going to open the microphone, listen to the crowd:
“From the river to the sea.” “from the river to the sea”
— Do you want a resort, is this an advertisement for an international resort?
— No Sir, they scream for our end.– Stay cold, remember Sartre? “If the Jews didn’t exist they would have to be invented”, Israel is forever .
— Yes, but…– Dear David Ben Gurion, you know very well how it works. The majority are silent and are aware that, most of the time, there is justice in our decisions. Even when they are very difficult decisions.— Not always.— Not always, but on average we get much more right than we get wrong. Just look, we built an enviable country.— Enviable, that may be the problem.– We can teach, and then peace will be just one consequence.– He may be my King, but he still worries. The world is silent again!– Son, this is an error in assessing the situation. Mind you, there are noisy masses and silent majorities. Who wants crime, terror and fear? Who wants dictatorships and radicals? Who does the silent majority identify with?– My King, know that your calm and wisdom are comforting.– David, I am not calm at all. You can’t even imagine how I’m holding the group here, the bar is tense.– But you seem calm.– I know how to control myself, you should do the same.– I’ll try master, I’ll try.– And if you resort to memory you’ll see that every time this happens, we start over again.– King, sorry for the inconvenience, but won’t they ever leave us alone?– We will take you to them– But we are being massacred, look at social media today.– It’s cool ? Can you get a lot of fish?– Oh, I know you don’t keep up to date online. I’m not referring to this type of network, these are places where people meet on a machine. Many spread hatred and resentment and generally hide behind anonymity.– And is that what’s fashionable out there?– Well, now people don’t read much.– And how do they get information?– Your Majesty, they prefer misinformation, today there is something called an algorithm.– And there is AI too. The thing has already reached my ears.– So, they only tell you what you want to hear.– It sounds seductive, but that’s not knowledge.– Exactly, they don’t want to, they prefer to stay with their own certainties.– No Do you like to hear both sides?– No King, you don’t, we call it polarization.– It makes me sad to hear, and where did the relativization go? What about that? The dialogue? Is there no longer that midfield?
–International diplomacy? Well, I better not even tell you who currently presides over the human rights commission at the UN. No, unfortunately, the center and the moderates are disappearing.
— But our democracy is still going strong, right, like the last time we spoke?– Yes, yes, we are still like that. It’s just that they don’t get tired of shouting the old slogans.– Slogans?– Yes, they invent that we have an apartheid regime . Can you believe this? And other slanders: that we don’t offer religious freedom, ethnic cleansing and other things.
— I’ve abandoned diets, I don’t do any more. Wait, do these people know that we are cousins, that the Semites have a common origin?–I think they know, I don’t know.– Abram’s agreements, is that what’s happening?– He killed with a stick, Boss.– He killed ?– I mean, Bingo, you hit the nail on the head!– And don’t they also know that there are 2 million Arab-Israelis working with us? I have a descendant in the Supreme Court who told me that he has Islamic colleagues in the country’s high court side by side with him, in our egregious school.– Exactly King, but they are not interested in the facts, nor the truth.– How intriguing , what about religious freedom? Don’t you know it’s in our constitutional charter?– Yes, sir, but today we have a strange resource called “narrative” that, if well constructed, even if it’s a blatant lie, ends up sticking, you know?– All of this is incomprehensible.- – For me too, Master of Masters.– Don’t call me Master.– Ok, Most Magnificent.– Much less of that.– Why Master?– A circular has just passed here: many rectors were omitted in protecting people at Universities, many Jews and people who defend us are suffering persecution or are cornered.– And vandals spray paint the symbol of that party on their houses, you know, Adolf’s.– Again? Don’t they ever learn?
–Negative Master. And there are even famous rock artists who support terror, they will do a show sponsored by a famous German insurance company.
— Bah, what’s up Che, do they have an alliance? (with a strong gaucho accent)
— There are people who justify terror and question Israel’s right to self-defense.
— No one is holy, and peace will come at the right time.
(Lightning, thunder, gigantic hail)
David hides in the shuk between a falafel and hummus stand.
— Look who arrived, Job is here with us, look I have Ben Gurion here on the screen
— How much time. I heard everything David, my goodness, but I’ve seen worse.
— And what should we do?
— Let’s pray together!
— Asking for what Job?
— Help yourself, and Heaven will help you.
