PA TV: Buying Israeli products gives Israel more money to buy weapons
Two girls are sitting in a car, and one says to the other:
Girl 1: “My dear, you don’t understand anything and you don’t know anything. You don’t know that the country needs every shekel to stay in [the country] and it’s just because you got a pass [to enter Israel] that you want to buy [in Israeli stores].”
Girl 2: “First of all, this is the first time that I’ve gotten a pass. Secondly, I want to buy a blouse that not all the other girls have, or buy a special purse.”
Girl 1: “That’s no excuse, my love, no excuse at all. Every shekel you pay [to the Israelis] goes to the army, and the army uses it to buy weapons that are used against us. You see, you see how your [national] awareness is fake. That’s how it is. One shekel and another shekel; it all adds up.”
Girl 2: “For God’s sake, don’t make me mad. Now I’m a supporter of the occupation just because I want to buy a shirt from them?”
Girl 1: “It’s a matter of principle, of principle. Somebody who buys once will buy [there] every time.”
Girl 2: “Great! Soon you’ll make me into a spy. I’ll tell you something, I don’t even feel like going to Jerusalem anymore. Here’s the pass. See it? See it? [She tears it up.] No Jerusalem; no worries. Have you calmed down now?”
Girl 1: “I’ve calmed down! I can be sure that you won’t be weak and go buy from them. Let’s go to the supermarket and get some things, and return home quickly.”
[They go in to the supermarket. Girl 1 takes products made in Israel, and puts them in her shopping cart.]
Girl 2: “You’re charging that? ‘One shekel and another shekel; it all adds up?’”
Girl 1: “This isn’t the same thing. This is all there is. Isn’t it [bad] enough that we can’t go there?”
Girl 1: “My dear, you don’t understand anything and you don’t know anything. You don’t know that the country needs every shekel to stay in [the country] and it’s just because you got a pass [to enter Israel] that you want to buy [in Israeli stores].”
