    As a 20 year old from Tel Aviv, this is crazy to watch for me! I can actually recognize some of the streets, so cool

    It is so sad that back then they had more communication with each other. And what they built was with love and dignity. What gets me is I was a 80s baby and I loved it. About mid or later 90s was great. Anything after that was just different. Where did all the respect go, and the loyalty that ran with reality? Thanks for another exclusive video David Hoffman much appreciated.

      @emmajayy Yes, it is! Lasting peace can only come on true devotion to right principles and a genuine love of people worldwide. Fear of global suicide from nuclear warfare or the danger of economic collapse is not real peace. That is not the foundation for enduring better times.

To me 16mm home films seem to have a very special "realness" quality to them, and the music you had Ara add to this particular film is an absolute perfect fit.

    It would be so surreal for all people to live peacefully and in unity together. If we are looking to the present systems to bring genuinely better times, we are looking to the wrong source. War has been the only means many feel can bring about peace. It is evident that any future new era of peace has to be founded on what it takes to be a lasting peace.

    Most clips were shot on Allenby st. and adjacent streets -- Ben Yehuda, King George, HaCarmel. Many places are still identifiable today.
    Note that Israel was 90% Jewish at that time -- even the building workers.
    Although it looks peaceful, it's still affected by the recent war; the last clips show a lot of debris of what used to be the front line between Tel Aviv and Jaffa.

    But in all truth no ill will towards anyone is meant by what I said, it would be a great thing is the overwhelming majority of moderate people on both sides of the divide were the ones listened to rather than the will of the zealots and the people who operate behind the scenes.

    Yaffo(Jaffa) was mixed for centuries Jews and Arabs . the Jews established Tel Aviv in 1909 in order to expand from over populated Jaffa .Jaffa Arabs fought hard in1948 and actually there was a border between Tel Aviv and Yaffo for a time , eventually surrendered and yes the Israelis destroyed most of the houses and evacuated the population of Yaffo . as they deserve no prizes for the ones who started the war and lost (Arabs) all people of Palestine Jews and Arabs were Palestinians before 1948 . so... there is no Palestinians. people really...Fake people Migration of Arabs, Tel Aviv-Yaffo is the official name of Tel-Aviv today !!! under one municipality

    "Yellow Star"
    Donovan 1973
    A-One, two. One, two, three.
    There have been bad thing done
    There have been some good one
    And many people died
    And many nations cried
    And many babies came
    As many died again
    Yet always Man prevailed
    Yeah though the Devil wailed
    You know we're way out there
    In some galaxy hair
    With all this space around
    We fight to keep our share.
    With all our cruelty
    And all our jealousy
    We find it hard to give
    To just live and let live
    To live and let live
    It's all in the Dance of Life my friend
    It's all in the Song that never ends
    It's all in the Dance of Life my friend
    Following that Yellow Star
    Following that Yellow Star
    Following that Yellow Star
    Following that Yellow Star
    We think that we're so big
    The truth we never, never twig
    And if some Quasar gonna blow
    I guess we'd never, never know
    And long before that day
    When we are burned away
    Let us take time to smile
    And swing a little while
    Just a little while.
    There have been many, many words
    And just as many, many turds
    It's all a kind of dream
    And not quite what it seems
    But when the talking's done
    This Life of Death we're gonna shun
    And turn our heart to Him
    Hailé Sélassié
    Whose Light will never, never dim
    Whoa, oh, oh,
    It's all in the Dance of Life my friend
    It's all in the Song that never ends
    It's all in the Dance of Life my friends
