Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Latin America.\NBut the idea of going
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to Palestine was because it was nearby.\NHe also hoped his parents could join him.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In any case, the issue\Nof money was truly a huge problem,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they didn't have money.\NSo, thanks to the lawyer Gianni Morandi,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, at this point, they reach Palestine.\NThe State of Israel still didn't exist.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There wasn't any money to protect them.\NTherefore, they had to start from scratch?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, and so, they started all over again\Nfrom January to April 1, 1939.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, because by 1922\Nthe British controlled Palestine.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There were Palestinian Arabs.\NThe Jewish Palestinians were organized
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the {\i1}Yishuv{\i0}, who were more concerned\Nwith the {\i1}kibbutz{\i0} and wanted

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the true damage, the political one,\Nwas directly from the Arab agency.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there were various Jews coming\Nfrom every part of Europe in Tel Aviv.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, it was necessary\Nto learn this common language.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore, there was some organization,\Nbut there were a lot of problems.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On the other hand, however,\Nthere were also a lot of comforts
