00:00It is so hard not knowing what's going on with her.

00:24My biggest worry is that she's not with us anymore.

00:30We're being led by crazy people, whether it's on the Israeli side or whether on the Palestinian

00:36side.

00:37And the result is all this death and destruction.

00:41Yehuda and I deal with problems differently.

00:46The struggle for peace and reconciliation is the best way to respect the Yat-Naviv and

00:53provide a human side to the story.

00:55I'm not going to thank them for abducting my parents and murdering my acquaintances.

01:00Let's just figure out where Liyat-Naviv are.

01:03Let's just focus on that, Abba.

01:08We want to be supportive of the family, and on the other hand, I'm here and I disagree

01:13politically.

01:14Sometimes it's better to just be quiet, because you know what, forgetting Liyat-Naviv back?

01:19Put a yarmulke on your head.

01:20No.

01:21I'm not going to run away.

01:22I'll stay in my ground.

01:25There's no way of knowing how much longer this is going to go on.

01:28Who's holding her?

01:29Is she in a house?

01:30Is she in a cave?

01:31Is she being fed?

01:32Does she have her glasses?

01:34The longer it takes, the harder it is to stay positive.

01:37There's no guarantee that either of them are cutting out of this alive.

01:48I want them back.

01:49What are you making you so understanding about their considerations?

01:52They're playing games.

01:53I feel your pain.

01:54I lost half of my family so far.

01:55I think every person in Israel, and I'm sure that on the Palestinian side, has someone

02:06that they have lost.

02:08So how do you even begin to coexist in that violent cycle?

02:12Your story is quite unusual.

02:19Can you talk about what you remember?

02:21do you remember?

02:23DO you remember?

02:25DO you remember?
