\n00:00:00:00 – 00:00:01:58
\nWe need cohesion in this country.<\/p>\n

00:00:05:39 – 00:00:07:24
\nThe subject of today,<\/p>\n

00:00:08:36 – 00:00:11:33
\nis funny with, because we,<\/p>\n

00:00:11:33 – 00:00:14:04
\neverybody in the world trying to have<\/p>\n

00:00:14:04 – 00:00:16:49
\ndiversity, integration,<\/p>\n

00:00:18:23 – 00:00:20:07
\nhumanity,<\/p>\n

00:00:20:07 – 00:00:22:29
\nlove, affection, caring,<\/p>\n

00:00:23:20 – 00:00:24:19
\nwhen in fact,<\/p>\n

00:00:24:19 – 00:00:26:33
\nwe are totally far away from that.<\/p>\n

00:00:26:33 – 00:00:28:51
\nAnd it\u2019s even getting worse.<\/p>\n

00:00:29:25 – 00:00:30:14
\nDivisions.<\/p>\n

00:00:30:14 – 00:00:31:44
\nConflicts.<\/p>\n

00:00:32:44 – 00:00:33:43
\nRacism.<\/p>\n

00:00:33:43 – 00:00:35:19
\nExtremism.<\/p>\n

00:00:35:19 – 00:00:37:26
\nFar left, far right.<\/p>\n

00:00:38:13 – 00:00:40:10
\nAnd there is no stop to this.<\/p>\n

00:00:41:03 – 00:00:43:29
\nWe live in a country that is<\/p>\n

00:00:44:09 – 00:00:46:27
\nunfortunately an example of that.<\/p>\n

00:00:47:14 – 00:00:48:40
\nIf we look how we used to live<\/p>\n

00:00:48:40 – 00:00:50:44
\nin the sixties all together.<\/p>\n

00:00:51:35 – 00:00:53:54
\nOne community, one society.<\/p>\n

00:00:54:37 – 00:00:56:10
\nWhen I was in school,<\/p>\n

00:00:56:10 – 00:00:57:52
\nI didn’t know who,
\nwhat was the religion<\/p>\n

00:00:57:52 – 00:00:59:40
\nof my friends in school.<\/p>\n

00:01:00:24 – 00:01:03:09
\nWe had Christians, Muslims, Jews.<\/p>\n

00:01:05:43 – 00:01:06:56
\nForeigners.<\/p>\n

00:01:07:27 – 00:01:09:08
\nOnly after we grew up, we started<\/p>\n

00:01:09:08 – 00:01:11:07
\nyou know, knowing who\u2019s who.<\/p>\n

00:01:11:39 – 00:01:14:34
\nUnfortunately, today
\nwe\u2019re far from that.<\/p>\n

00:01:15:19 – 00:01:17:24
\nAnd I hope initiatives like this one<\/p>\n

00:01:18:03 – 00:01:20:46
\nor private initiatives that you\u2019ll hear,<\/p>\n

00:01:20:46 – 00:01:22:27
\nwill bring us back together.<\/p>\n

00:01:23:46 – 00:01:26:18
\nBecause we need cohesion
\nin this country.<\/p>\n

00:01:27:13 – 00:01:29:29
\nAnd it’s getting worse by the day.<\/p>\n

00:01:30:25 – 00:01:31:51
\nTalking about trauma?<\/p>\n

00:01:32:48 – 00:01:35:24
\nBest place in the world, probably,<\/p>\n

00:01:35:55 – 00:01:37:39
\nI would say, before last week,<\/p>\n

00:01:37:39 – 00:01:39:55
\nbecause what’s happening now in Palestine<\/p>\n

00:01:39:55 – 00:01:42:10
\nis definitely traumatic.<\/p>\n

00:01:42:10 – 00:01:44:35
\nBut what we’ve been going
\nthrough here for the last,<\/p>\n

00:01:44:35 – 00:01:47:30
\nnot only the last
\n4 years were the worst,<\/p>\n

00:01:47:30 – 00:01:49:50
\nbut the last 30, 40 years,<\/p>\n

00:01:50:38 – 00:01:52:16
\nI think we’re the most traumatized<\/p>\n

00:01:52:16 – 00:01:53:41
\npeople in the world.<\/p>\n

00:01:53:41 – 00:01:54:48
\nAnd we keep fighting<\/p>\n

00:01:54:48 – 00:01:56:38
\nand we keep fighting<\/p>\n

00:01:56:38 – 00:01:59:37
\nand we continue doing what we can do.<\/p>\n

00:01:59:37 – 00:02:02:08
\nWe all suffer from PTSD.<\/p>\n

00:02:02:39 – 00:02:06:43
\nI think we have the highest
\nconsumption of Xanax per capita.<\/p>\n

00:02:06:43 – 00:02:09:34
\nOr the pharmacies can
\ntrack it down and confirm it.<\/p>\n

00:02:09:34 – 00:02:10:43
\nBut even with that,<\/p>\n

00:02:10:43 – 00:02:12:29
\nI think we’re managing<\/p>\n

00:02:12:29 – 00:02:13:47
\nstill to have a happy life,<\/p>\n

00:02:13:47 – 00:02:15:27
\nwe try no matter what.<\/p>\n

00:02:16:19 – 00:02:18:04
\nAnd thanks to initiatives<\/p>\n

00:02:18:04 – 00:02:21:31
\nlike what you will hear very soon.<\/p>\n
