In today's class, we first shared the paragraphs that we wrote in the last class, about Mr. Paterson's bag. I had a bias that the bag is good, and my pair Sayo had the bias that the bag is bad. We looked at each other's, and we found out that the paragraphs are completely different. Then, we watched many videos and news about what is happening now in Israel and Palestine. We saw videos about the girl crying beside the bombed house, the interviews with people who lost the house by bombs, and we saw how the Israel children are taught about Palestine.
On the weekends, before having this class, I watched the news on the TV about Israel and Palestine, that Israel bombed Palestine's building. I saw in the video that the building is collapsing, and I was very shocked about it. However, in the time that I saw the video in the news, I only saw the fact that the building was collapsed, but my mind did not catch up to think about the people inside the building, the people living there, people watching it, and the people who lost their families and their precious ones. In the class, I felt behind this building collapse, there are many of the people's cry, shrieks, sorrow, anger. It is a natural thing, but it was quite unbelievable to me. The point that I was shocked the most was that the students in Israel are educated to discriminate against Palestinian people. I felt a sense of emptiness when one of the students said "When I see Palestine people I feel I want to kill them". I could not recognize the words, and the point that these words are being a "good" word in that community is too unnatural. I can not believe that these things are happening in this world, now, even while I am writing this blog post. I feel I am very powerless, and I am also frustrated that I can not do anything to help them. I thought that the reason many of the Japanese doesn't know about these things is not only because of the media, and I also think it is because people do not try to know this serious news. The information people choose has an offset, and they can not even reach the news that they should know, and keep accessing the empty news about the entertainment and more. Of course, the media should tell more news about this, but also, people should be conscious to gathering many kinds of information.
