The harmonious tableau of the season. David is Jewish, and his parents are settlers.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=23) David is reserved and solitary. At school, he behaves impeccably.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=29) At home, keeping his thoughts to himself, the promised land is the subject of disagreement. At seventeen, an only child, yet aware that his father and mother have blood on their hands, that they destroy families for the Empire, that they are ready to make an entire people into martyrs.

[0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=45) Why destroy Palestinian homes? After all, this land belongs to them.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=50) Not even in dreams will we have tenant status, unwanted squatters who redraw borders. That's what we are and that's what we will remain.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=57) Do you think you can stifle the rebellion of millions of children throwing stones at tanks and rows of helicopters? Dad is a resolute soldier.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=68) It's a people of pariahs that must be exterminated.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=70) Tomorrow, he will leave for the Mossad, Mom behind him to fight jihad. The CIA has given us good intelligence.

[1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=78) In a school's basements, that's where they are hiding.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=81) Before dawn, they will both leave and know they will fight violently. David, powerless, leaves the house and goes off to think while watching the horizon.

[1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=91) My parents are insensitive and cruel. Tomorrow, they will walk on the rubble of a kindergarten.

[1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=97) Indoctrinated by politicians who rob an entire people by reassuring Israelis. No, I can't understand how they fall for the bait.

[1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=104) I myself have learned my own lessons. They're intelligent, I think they'll understand if I explain it to them with the right arguments. I've decided, I have to go home.

[1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=115) I run, but on foot, I won't make it. I get on the bus.

[1:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=118) At most ten people. A strange man and children playing.

[2:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=123) The man gets up and looks toward the back.

[2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/5SwgMNPiSpol/en/david-a-settler-s-son-and-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict?t=125) He opens his coat and presses the button The man blew himself up. David is dead and his parents will go on.
