Mersewa

[01:23]Host: Yes, dear viewers, this week we are in the village of Marsawa!

[01:28]Host: This week we are in the village of Marsawa. This village falls within the Sharran district.

[01:41]Host: This village is also known for the brotherhood of peoples.

[01:45]Host: This village, some are Kurds, some are Arabs.

[01:49]Host: For tens of years, for hundreds of years, they have been living together.

[02:03]Host: Let us see, this week, may you spend a pleasant time with us. Let's talk!

[02:29]Host: Hello to you.

[02:30]Guest: Hello friend Sherif, welcome, you are very welcome.

[02:37]Host: May you be healthy. May you also be in goodness. Be healthy.

[02:41]Host: Shall we get to know you first?

[02:43]Guest: My name is Dervish Ismail. I am from the Rashid Khirkhiz family.

[02:46]Host: You are welcome (lit: upon my eyes).

[02:47]Guest: May your eyes be healthy, may God be pleased with you.

[02:49]Host: It is obvious... let us get to know the village a bit through you...

[02:53]Host: A bit of the history of this village, a bit of the customs and traditions of this village...

[02:56]Host: When was the village established? Where did the village's name come from?

[02:59]Host: For us, let's ask about the village name first. Where did the village name come from?

[03:02]Host: The name Marsawa.

[03:03]Guest: By God, friend Sherif, in one narrative it says... it was 'Merso', its name is Merso.

[03:10]Guest: And this was 1400 years before the Common Era (or Hijri, implies very old)...

[03:13]Guest: A Kurdish tribe was here, perhaps the Hurrian Elders established it...

[03:18]Guest: And the Rawanduz Castle, it is a historical place. Rawanduz Castle.

[03:22]Guest: And they used to do trade together.

[03:25]Guest: In the past, trade convoys used to pass through here... going to Rawanduz Castle.

[03:32]Guest: And this tribe... the name of this tribe was named after a woman.

[03:39]Guest: The woman's name... they call her the White Elder (Pîra Sipî). The White Elder's name was Merso.

[03:45]Guest: So from this Merso, by the name of Merso, it was named after that woman.

[03:50]Guest: And currently, until now, this tribe is a large tribe in Urfa right now, and currently it exists there, and [the name] Merso exists there too.

[04:00]Guest: In this village, it has been named with that name.

[04:03]Host: Meaning those people who came here, did other people come here? Meaning like that... are they not from this tribe?

[04:08]Guest: No... the people... those people who left, we are talking 1400 years ago, BC, naturally it is ancient history.

[04:16]Guest: And since then many people have existed here. Lived, for example, some of the Aghas were here.

[04:22]Guest: And they were from Hasakah. They call them, one was Masmud, one was Abdullah.

[04:29]Guest: And these people actually... when the borders were established...

[04:33]Guest: They left, their property fell on the Turkish side, they left.

[04:37]Host: Where did they go?

[04:38]Guest: They went to Turkey... they went to the foothills of Kilis.

[04:40]Guest: Plenty of property/land.

[04:42]Host: So they went North (Northern Kurdistan/Turkey)?

[04:43]Guest: They went North, yes.

[04:44]Guest: There was plenty of property here.

[04:47]Guest: So among our people, from ten [villages] around, everyone came here, everyone bought a plot/house for themselves, and sustained their lives with it.

[04:54]Host: Was your village's livelihood connected to Kilis in the past?

[04:56]Guest: In the past, our connection, they did their shopping/trade with Kilis. Meaning the market was Kilis.

[05:01]Host: Before... we didn't go to Azaz or Afrin... historically, they went to Kilis and came back...

[05:05]Guest: They went to Kilis and came back, with livestock...

[05:06]Host: Like the city [center] was Kilis.

[05:07]Guest: Our city itself was basically Kilis.

[05:10]Host: Yes... so the people here and the other people... all act as one...

[05:13]Host: So this village... you in this village, what is its name?

[05:15]Guest: This one is now 'Bağ obası' (Vineyard Camp - Turkish name).

[05:17]Host: Are there no people there? Are there no relatives?

[05:19]Guest: Of course, our relatives are in there too. Even now, let us say...

[05:22]Guest: There are relatives of the village there, and ones from the village are here.

[05:24]Guest: Before this wall was put up, the border was open.

[05:28]Guest: Meaning relatives used to go and come.

[05:30]Guest: This one went for a visit, that one came...

[05:32]Guest: Now Turkey, in this new phase...

[05:35]Guest: This border, this wall cut it off, it cut off these family ties too.

[05:38]Guest: Of course Turkey does this knowingly...

[05:41]Guest: It wanted to fragment the Kurdish people. That is their goal.

[05:44]Guest: To cut them off in their minds.

[05:45]Guest: But don't forget the trade either...

[05:47]Guest: But that mentality doesn't get cut off, it is still one.

[05:50]Guest: Between father and... Marsa is still one.

[05:55]Host: Now... I asked you something else... now those families inside here...

[05:59]Host: What are the names of the families? Which tribes are they?

[06:02]Guest: Now the families here, right now, are settled, living here...

[06:07]Guest: One is the Rashid Khirkhiz family, as they call them.

[06:10]Guest: And these... their origin is from Qosho (village).

[06:14]Guest: They came here from Qosho.

[06:16]Guest: They bought property, they stayed here.

[06:19]Guest: And a family of the village, they call them the Hemo Mereme family.

[06:23]Guest: The Hemo Mereme family too... came here from Qara Tapa.

[06:26]Guest: They also bought land here, well, this became their new land and place to stay.

[06:31]Guest: The third family, is the Shashe family.

[06:35]Guest: They came from Barkash.

[06:38]Guest: The other family... they call them the Ahmed Chawish family.

[06:43]Guest: These are the Khalimlar (or Khalils?).

[06:45]Guest: These came here from Hasan Dera.

[06:48]Guest: There is the Hussein Rashko family.

[06:51]Guest: They are from Zarê...

[06:54]Guest: Came to this village.

[06:56]Guest: And there is the Ahmed Sora family...

[06:59]Guest: They are our Arab brothers.

[07:01]Guest: The family of Mahmud Birem...

[07:04]Guest: Actually they came from Obel (or Ubêl).

[07:07]Guest: And... they are also a family in the village, actually... considered as such.

[07:12]Guest: And... the family of...

[07:15]Guest: There is Hasan Mehmed Ali.

[07:17]Guest: He is also...

[07:20]Guest: They are also Arabs, but not from...

[07:22]Guest: They are also those ones...

[07:25]Guest: They are Ujayli (tribe).

[07:28]Guest: So these are the families, that live inside the village basically.

[07:33]Host: So your village is like a garden of flowers.

[07:36]Host: Does every flower come out of this village?

[07:39]Guest: Well, truly our village is exactly like that. One thought, one mind.

[07:44]Guest: Meaning our entire lives are together.

[07:46]Guest: Now between us and our Arabs and Marsa, there is no difference.

[07:49]Guest: Meaning never has a difference fallen between us.

[07:51]Guest: No indeed, we are uncles and nephews to each other.

[07:54]Guest: We are uncles and nephews, connected to each other.

[07:57]Guest: Our weddings are together.

[08:00]Guest: And... our funerals (dead) are together.

[08:03]Guest: Our going and coming is on the road together.

[08:06]Guest: We are brothers.

[08:08]Guest: Perhaps as the saying of the leadership goes, "The Brotherhood of Peoples".

[08:11]Guest: And in truth, we have applied/studied this.

[08:14]Guest: We have applied/studied the brotherhood of peoples.

[08:16]Guest: And this is its reality.

[08:18]Guest: Actually... the most important thing for us to highlight in this village...

[08:22]Guest: We have four martyrs.

[08:24]Guest: And these four... our martyrs are perhaps...

[08:28]Guest: Two of them are our Arab brothers.

[08:31]Guest: Meaning because of us and the Kurds, they took this path. They didn't make a distinction.

[08:36]Host: Meaning those people lived together in the past.

[08:39]Host: There is no difference, between Kurd and Arab and Turk.

[08:42]Host: But there are systems... that force the hearts of the people away from each other.

[08:46]Host: Forces society apart.

[08:48]Host: But in this revolution, the nation returned to its foundation again.

[08:52]Host: Again Kurd and Arab returned together.

[08:54]Host: They could eat together, celebrate together.

[08:57]Host: In every place, we see every day a city is liberated.

[09:00]Host: Again Kurd and Arab are together.

[09:02]Guest: Of course friend Sherif...

[09:04]Guest: Now let us say we have four martyrs, we have four martyrs in this village.

[09:09]Guest: And all four of our martyrs are... Arabs, their origin is Arab.

[09:13]Guest: And truthfully, they never made a difference/distinction.

[09:16]Guest: Until now they haven't said, for example, we are giving for our land, or not giving...

[09:19]Guest: They say this country, look, we are all obliged to it. It is ours, and it is yours too.

[09:23]Guest: And our world is one.

[09:25]Guest: Look, this burden is ours, and yours too.

[09:27]Guest: We will do everything for this soil, we will liberate it, look...

[09:31]Guest: We will be settlers, on this soil we will be one settlement.

[09:34]Guest: And this fragmentation they used to do between us, perhaps the systems of these countries that came...

[09:40]Guest: Let us say for example the Ba'ath regime and...

[09:43]Guest: And these systems were fragmenting them. Look, they used to say "you are Ba'athist, you are so-and-so, you must look out for yourself, give to the other, you are Arab, you are Kurd".

[09:51]Guest: But I don't believe, meaning in our history, until now that we have reached it...

[09:54]Guest: But none of the systems made this impact on us.

[09:57]Guest: Meaning no one said you are Arab, or Kurd. Those things did not happen between us.

[10:00]Speaker 1: Especially in our village of Marsawa...

[10:03]Speaker 1: Meaning, there is no difference or discrimination...

[10:05]Host: No, how many houses are in the village of Marsawa?

[10:07]Speaker 1: Well, the village of Marsawa has approximately one hundred households...

[10:10]Speaker 1: It has one hundred households.

[10:13]Speaker 1: Meaning, half of them are Arab, half of them are Kurd.

[10:16]Host: Now, in the villages, they used to have their own elders (leaders).

[10:20]Host: In every village, they had their elders. Whatever problem the village had, they would solve it...

[10:25]Host: Or there was a famous person, or a hero, or a bard (dengbêj)...

[10:30]Host: Meaning, who was like that in your village?

[10:32]Speaker 1: By God, comrade Sherif, in our village when we were kids, when we were small...

[10:37]Speaker 1: Our elders... many of them I don't recall right now, but they were very strong, they were humane.

[10:43]Speaker 1: Why? Perhaps year after year, there would be a sacrifice (animal offering)...

[10:48]Speaker 1: They would slaughter a sacrifice. Every household would make their sacrifice.

[10:52]Speaker 1: It would come to the family of Ehmedî Çewîş...

[10:55]Speaker 1: Everyone would bring out a food tray to that house.

[10:58]Speaker 1: For the sake of charity... essentially, our elders used to do this.

[11:02]Speaker 1: One of them was Hemî Şeşê.

[11:04]Speaker 1: One of them was Ehmed Saro, one was Ehmedî Çewîş.

[11:08]Speaker 1: One was Reşîdê Xerxez, one was Îbramê Hemê.

[11:10]Speaker 1: They kept them together, so that division would not occur in the village.

[11:14]Host: Meaning, they created social unity?

[11:15]Speaker 1: They created social unity.

[11:17]Speaker 1: Year after year, we would sit together at one table...

[11:21]Speaker 1: We would bring out trays of food onto the roof; however many households there were, that many trays would come down.

[11:26]Speaker 1: Everyone placed their tray, we all ate together there, ate and enjoyed ourselves.

[11:30]Host: Now, do these customs still exist with you all?

[11:32]Speaker 1: Well, these customs, for a few years now... since we went to the city, went to Aleppo...

[11:37]Speaker 1: Now these customs... no, they don't remain... meaning, the current generation doesn't do them.

[11:40]Host: Meaning, has that closeness returned?

[11:42]Speaker 1: No, it has returned even better than before.

[11:44]Speaker 1: Now, our love currently, the current generation together...

[11:47]Speaker 1: They practice brotherhood together, they don't discriminate, it has become better than that era, than that time.

[11:53]Host: Yes, that is a very nice custom, if you look at the Kurds' perspective...

[11:56]Host: In every single village, those customs exist.

[11:58]Host: Even now there are many villages where those customs still exist.

[12:01]Speaker 1: By God, it's been a few years, comrade Sherif, since we cancelled it... meaning our roots... we...

[12:04]Host: Meaning, you cancelled it?

[12:05]Speaker 1: We cancelled it.

[12:07]Host: Meaning social unity, back when in the village everyone would help each other with everything...

[12:13]Host: In the past when a house was being built, it was built without money.

[12:17]Host: In the village, everyone would come and help until his house was built.

[12:22]Host: If someone had harvesting work, they all went to harvest together. If someone had olives, they all helped together.

[12:28]Host: In everything, if this cooperation exists, it is good in the village.

[12:31]Speaker 1: By God, comrade Sherif, we shouldn't say [it's exactly like that], but approximately our villagers have the same spirit as that work.

[12:37]Host: Yes.

[12:38]Speaker 1: Now if one builds his house, they help here.

[12:41]Speaker 1: Or if someone has harvesting left, his olives... people harvest olives, and his remain...

[12:46]Speaker 1: Meaning look at that family... we were a few villagers, we went over there to help.

[12:49]Speaker 1: Meaning, they say, that kind of work exists at present.

[12:52]Host: We also wish you success. By God, may you have no shortcomings.

[12:56]Speaker 1: Long live. We also welcome the [TV/Media] team.

[12:58]Speaker 1: May God, the Lord of the Worlds, prolong your lives too.

[13:01]Speaker 1: And may He preserve the land and country for us.

[13:03]Speaker 1: And we send greetings and respect to our Leadership all the way to Imrali.

[13:08]Speaker 1: And our greetings to our comrades on the mountain tops.

[13:10]Speaker 1: Our greetings to the comrades in the YPG and YPJ.

[13:13]Speaker 1: To all the forces that protect us, our greetings and respect to all.

[13:26]Narrator: The village of Marsawa is attached to the Shera district of the Afrin canton, located 25 kilometers north of the town of Shera.

[14:20]Narrator: In events, celebrations, and sorrows, they help one another.

[14:24]Narrator: There are nearly one hundred houses in the village, and around one thousand people live in the village.

[15:10]Host: Yes, today we are in the village of Marsawa.

[15:13]Host: It is autumn now, at this time before this, it was the time of grapes...

[15:18]Host: After the grapes passed, grape molasses was made.

[15:21]Host: But there are many sweets made from grape molasses.

[15:24]Host: In the village, that sweet exists now.

[15:27]Host: We thank the mothers. Now our mothers have gathered here...

[15:32]Host: They also wanted to make a sweet for us, a village sweet.

[15:36]Host: But the mothers too, they are Kurds and they are Arabs.

[15:40]Host: This is the life of this villager, the life of brotherhood.

[15:44]Host: Truly, when we pass through this village, one cannot distinguish them from one another.

[15:48]Host: Which one is Kurdish, which one is Arab.

[15:50]Host: Because they all sit at one table, make food together, and eat. They make sweets together.

[15:56]Host: Their celebrations and everything are together.

[15:58]Host: We thank them.

[16:00]Host: Hello to you, mother.

[16:01]Woman 1: Hello, welcome.

[16:03]Host: Long live, bless your hands beforehand.

[16:05]Woman 1: May your hands be safe, may God be pleased with you.

[16:07]Host: Long live. Let's talk a bit about the sweet first. Who among you will tell us? Who will speak to us?

[16:14]Woman 1: Well, the sweet, we will now... do this... we will sing/make this.

[16:18]Woman 1: We will make it with sesame 'men' [figures], and then we will also... do like this, make 'qetmer' (layered pastry).

[16:24]Woman 1: This is the sweet of the past, it is old.

[16:26]Woman 1: The old sweet, now they used to make 'asida' (pudding) from molasses.

[16:30]Woman 1: And they made 'kilor' (pastries), they made 'bizbizik'.

[16:34]Woman 1: And they made everything. All, meaning all of it is made from molasses.

[16:38]Woman 1: Like that, this is a sweet.

[16:39]Host: Yes. Are you yourself Kurdish or Arab?

[16:41]Woman 1: I myself am Kurdish, our family [husband's side] is Arab.

[16:45]Host: You are welcome [On my eyes].

[16:46]Host: Let's ask you a bit too. Who among you will tell us?

[16:49]Woman 2: It is said, before, they put the grapes at home, squeezed them all, and made its syrup.

[16:54]Woman 2: It would become a taste, a sweet taste... they would put it in 'qetmer', they would make that 'maliz'.

[16:59]Woman 2: And they made 'mişt', they made fig jam, they made 'beqniyû'.

[17:04]Woman 2: 'Basix' (fruit leather/paste) was also made, however much... meaning purely from molasses it was made. Not everything.

[17:09]Woman 2: But we are all mixed together. Like we don't know... the molasses is sweet, our blood is all one, thanks be to God.

[17:15]Host: Your souls too. What will you make?

[17:17]Host: Who among you will speak?

[17:18]Woman 3: Welcome to your arrival, upon our eyes, upon our heads.

[17:29]Host: Well in Arabic...

[17:31]Woman 3: [Arabic] Welcome to you all. Upon my head.

[17:33]Woman 3: [Speaking Kurdish with accent/dialect phrase] I will... ?

[17:35]Woman 3: We will make bread like this...

[17:38]Woman 3: [Arabic] How we made sweet... we make 'Zingol' in Arabic.

[17:42]Woman 3: They call it 'Zingol' bread.

[17:44]Woman 3: In Arabic, 'Zingol'.

[17:46]Host: What, what are you making? How, how are you making it?

[17:48]Woman 3: We knead the dough, and we put this molasses on it, and we put it on this board and bake it.

[17:54]Host: That is it, brother.

[17:55]Woman 3: In Kurdish what do they call it?

[17:56]Woman 3: Bread... in Arabic 'Zingol'.

[17:59]Host: Yes.

[18:00]Woman 3: What are you doing?

[18:02]Woman 3: We knead the dough...

[18:04]Host: Tell us in Kurmanji.

[18:06]Woman 3: In Kurmanji too, we will put molasses in it, we will knead our dough dear, we will make our dough balls, we will put them on the board, we will flatten our bread, our little bread, and we will make it.

[18:14]Host: By God, you speak Kurmanji well too, you speak Arabic well too.

[18:17]Woman 3: Both are good, both are upon the head, upon the eyes. May God be pleased with you brother.

[18:21]Host: So... so what goes into it, please tell us.

[18:23]Woman 3: Now what they put into it...

[18:24]Woman 4: They put sweet molasses in it, they put 'raş raşko' (black cumin/seeds), they put yeast if there is any.

[18:29]Woman 3: ... knead dough, flatten our little breads, and afterwards fry them and eat.

[18:34]Woman 3: That is the way...

[18:35]Woman 2: It becomes sweet.

[18:36]Woman 3: Afterwards it becomes sweet.

[18:38]Host: Meaning, the specialty of your village is this sweet.

[18:40]Woman 3: They make it on feast days, they make it before the Eid (holiday).

[18:44]Woman 3: As charity for the dead.

[18:45]Host: When there is a holiday, right?

[18:46]Woman 3: They make it during fasting...

[18:47]Woman 3: Eid... the Eid of fasting.

[18:50]Woman 3: They make it, they distribute it.

[18:51]Woman 3: Charity for the dead.

[18:52]Woman 3: Charity for the dead.

[18:54]Host: And what do they make? Now the things of Kurds and Arabs, are all your things alike?

[18:59]Woman 3: All are alike.

[19:00]Woman 3: All are alike.

[19:01]Woman 3: Arabs and Kurds, we are all one.

[19:03]Woman 3: All are alike.

[19:05]Woman 3: Your sweets are all one.

[19:06]Woman 3: All are alike, all are like one.

[19:08]Woman 3: Kurd...

[19:09]Host: Meaning your sweets are all one.

[19:10]Woman 3: All are alike.

[19:11]Woman 3: All are alike. We are all [from] mother and father [Adam & Eve], we are all alike.

[19:14]Woman 3: Neither Kurd, nor Arab, no one separates from the other. We are all one.

[19:18]Host: Yes, upon my eyes (You are welcome).

[19:19]Woman 3: May your head be safe, upon my eyes.

[19:22]Host: Look, what is this?

[19:23]Host: What is this? Look, what is this?

[19:25]Woman 5: It is 'simît' (fine bulgur/semolina).

[19:26]Host: Simît?

[19:27]Woman 5: Yes, it is 'simît'. Boiled 'menîs' (local dish), cumin... crushed pepper...

[19:31]Woman 5: We chopped onions and now we let our 'qîlîsk' (mix/sauce) into it, stirring it.

[19:34]Woman 5: And we fried oil, we will gather/knead it... they managed for that night.

[19:38]Woman 5: That was our sustenance.

[19:39]Host: They say Friday...

[19:40]Woman 5: This lentil/mixture we have boiled now, we will... ?

[19:43]Woman 5: And wait... wait a bit, warm... meaning put the lid on it, let it stay so it holds together.

[19:47]Woman 5: And we knead it, our oil is also fried, we will put it inside and mix.

[19:50]Host: Okay.

[19:51]Woman 5: That is the sustenance we eat.

[19:52]Host: Thanks.

[19:53]Host: Let's begin. Come on mother, you begin.

[19:55]Woman 3: We will now put water in... we put salt in, we will now put water in too...

[20:00]Woman: Wait.. yes.. she was pressing it just now, yes.

[20:03]Woman: You need to make it with water... really it won't work [otherwise]...

[20:15]Woman: Add water little by little, until it reaches its consistency.

[44:33]Speaker 1: Okay, I said: "My Commander, why are you doing this? You are committing this aggression against us? Our field is being taken."

[44:40]Speaker 1: "This field is ours. These mines were laid in '54."

[44:44]Speaker 1: Meaning in '54 these bombs [mines] were planted.

[44:47]Speaker 1: And this place here, the trace is old and original. "Here is the original place of your stone [landmark]."

[44:51]Speaker 1: He said to me: "Where is our stone? Where are our stones?"

[44:53]Speaker 1: I said: "Your stones, I know them from fifty, sixty years ago."

[44:56]Speaker 1: I said: "You placed the border here, and your soldiers laid mines here." In Turkish.

[45:01]Speaker 1: I said: "After that, you stopped the mines for two years, you started in '56."

[45:07]Speaker 1: For no reason at all, you are doing this oppression to us. You are taking our land, you are destroying our surroundings.

[45:13]Speaker 1: He said: "This is not our fault." He said: "It is your state's fault. They gave us this information, said 'place it wherever you want'."

[45:19]Speaker 1: Like this, we are speaking Turkish of course.

[45:21]Speaker 1: Then I turned, I said: "My Commander. Don't stop doing what you know [Do your worst]."

[45:26]Host: What did you say to him?

[45:27]Speaker 1: "Don't stop doing what you know..." don't hold back from your knowledge.

[45:29]Speaker 1: Meaning, do whatever comes from your hand. I will not give up my land.

[45:32]Speaker 1: Whether you wanted it or not. Wanted it, didn't want it.

[45:34]Speaker 1: "Here is our Kurdistan, our country."

[45:37]Speaker 1: "Whether the border is distinct, or whether it is smooth [erased]."

[45:40]Host: Meaning here is Kurdistan, and there is Kurdistan.

[45:41]Speaker 1: "Both sides... both sides..."

[45:43]Host: Every side of it is Kurdistan.

[45:45]Speaker 1: "Look," I said, "On that slope, in Görüken village, if I make a sound, thirty of my men will come down to the border right now."

[45:56]Speaker 1: I said: "Suit yourself. We are mother, sister, brother... In Syria, in Turkey, we are all one."

[46:02]Speaker 1: "Bring it down from wherever you want." I said: "Turkey is ours, Syria is ours too."

[46:07]Speaker 1: "The four corners of the world are ours. Don't stop doing what you know."

[46:11]Host: What did you say to him? Say it in Kurmanji?

[46:13]Speaker 1: I said: "Whether you want it or not, if I call out to these villagers opposite us right now..."

[46:19]Speaker 1: "Maybe three quarters of them will come down here."

[46:22]Speaker 1: "They are all our acquaintances, friends, uncles, nephews, sisters, brothers. We are all one, essentially."

[46:27]Host: Yes, that village on the line, the side of the border.

[46:29]Speaker 1: Yes, the side of the border. Opposite us. Yes.

[46:33]Host: The distance between us and them is approximately two kilometers.

[46:35]Speaker 1: It is four hundred meters between us and the border, and there... approximately one kilometer, two kilometers.

[46:41]Speaker 1: I said: "If I call now, they will all come down here to me."

[46:45]Speaker 1: I said: "Every day you are doing this. Meaning whether you wanted it or not..."

[46:49]Speaker 1: "Do whatever you know to do. This land is our land."

[46:54]Speaker 1: "You established the border, let it stay for your own pleasure. This side is ours, and that side is ours."

[47:00]Host: Now, did your olive trees remain under the border?

[47:02]Speaker 1: A good portion remained. They uprooted about two hundred, three hundred of our trees. I had a water well, I dug the well in '93, the motor...

[47:08]Host: Now your land on the side... uh... did they uproot it? Did they uproot your trees?

[47:11]Speaker 1: How many of your trees did they uproot?

[47:12]Host: Of the villagers?

[47:13]Speaker 1: The village's [trees] were uprooted a lot.

[47:14]Host: A lot were uprooted?

[47:15]Speaker 1: A lot were uprooted, the village's approximately in the thousands. Not a thousand, in the thousands.

[47:19]Speaker 1: Just mine were three hundred and sixty-three trees.

[47:23]Speaker 1: And fifteen walnut trees. From them, fifty trees remained.

[47:26]Speaker 1: The others were all uprooted.

[47:28]Speaker 1: And they placed their border in between. And they destroyed my well, sealed it shut.

[47:32]Speaker 1: Even now, the casing of my well is still there. By the border.

[47:36]Host: You will return the work.

[47:37]Speaker 1: God is generous. Whether we wanted it or not. With God's will, independence belongs to the people. We will return the four corners.

[47:44]Speaker 1: Say Inshallah.

[48:45]Speaker 1: As we saw in the past, hopefully we won't die, we will see [freedom].

[48:49]Speaker 1: And we said, and we say from seven... before they used to say from seven years to seventy.
