How many were killed? You described it, no, I'm talking about homes destroyed. So you're not the best person to be criticizing what Muin says when he says clear majority, but he can't say more. You know why he can't say more? He doesn't know. He doesn't know. Yeah, yeah, I understand that.
I think there's a value to preserving the record. I'm not optimistic about where things are going to end up. There was a very nice book written by a woman named Helen Hunt Jackson at the end of the 19th century describing what was done to the Native Americans. She called it a century of dishonor, and she described in vivid, poignant detail what was done to the Native Americans. Did it save them?
No. Did it help them? Probably not. Did it preserve their memory? Yes, and I think there's a value to that. There was a famous film by Sergei Eisenstein. It was either Battleship Potemkin or Mother. I can't remember which one. The last scene was... The Tsar's troops mowing down all the Russian people. He pans the scene. Not all the Russian people. He pans the massacre. He pans the massacre.
And the last words of the movie were, proletarians, exclamation point, remember, exclamation point. And I've seen it as my life's work to preserve the memory and to remember. I didn't expect that anyone would read my book on Gaza. It's very dense. It gives me even a bit of a headache to read at least one of the chapters. You wrote a book on Gaza.
But I thought that the memory deserves to be preserved. Amen.
