00:00Three, two, one.
00:16Good luck, Ariel. We love you.
00:30When I think about Ariel and his time in Gaza, in captivity, I think of a child.
00:40And the difference between a child and a baby is that a child understands.
00:44A child knows that everything is bad. A child knows that the situation is terrible.
00:49A child knows what a birthday is.
00:53And for me, for me it's devastating.
00:59Because he should have this birthday celebrated with us.
01:05And he knows that. He can feel it in his heart. And we can feel it too.
01:11The reason that I chose to come with a t-shirt of Batman, it's that photo.
01:18It's that kid. This kid is really, really like heroes.
01:23And we can see over here that he made a design of Batman.
01:27He writes over here, Batman by himself.
01:30And he tells his kindergarten to write,
01:33I'm flying and I'm saving people that they are stuck in a pit.
01:38That's what he says to his teacher in the kindergarten to write him.
01:44And that's the reason that I come with a t-shirt of Batman.
02:15And then we can bless without making blessings.
02:24When something bad happens in the world,
02:27Everyone! Now! Everyone! Now!
02:32Will remember! Now! Will remember! Now!
02:37Will remember! Now! Everyone! Now!
02:44Thank you for watching!
