972 Words4 Pages

A little Palestinian boy, Ali continued to ask his father “Dad where had my little brother gone?” His father couldn't reply because Ali’s brother, Omar had been dead. Omar was only 11 months old and he only knew smiling. His father said with tears “My baby could say only two words, dad and mom.” Since Israel attacked Palestine in 2012, so many innocent citizens including babies were killed. There are a lot of children like Omar and Ali in Palestine. Do you know the Palestinian problem? Although I was quite indifferent to this problem, the scene I watched in a university class was so miserable that I realized we shouldn’t turn our head away from their harsh realities. Then I started to search about Palestine, and found Ali and Omar’s tragic story. Today, I’m standing here to talk about the Palestinian problem in some detail and think with you what we can do for them. Let me talk about the Palestinian problem briefly. In the past, Jewish lived all …show more content…

I was also one of them. Palestinians have tried to resist Israel nonviolently, but many people don’t know about that now. At the end of the class, I had an opportunity to talk to a Palestinian, whose name is Iyas Salim. His family was injured in Gaza in 2014. He said “Japanese can move freely from Osaka to Kyoto. However, there are a lot of people who can’t go to the next city freely. You think your daily lives are normal, but Palestinians think that your normal lives are freedom, and we are longing for it.” I was ashamed of my ignorance. Through talking with him, I strongly felt that we should not think it is someone else’s problem. Palestinians are in a tough situation, and they try to break through their daily lives. They intensely pursue the peace. On the other hand, we are blessed with peaceful daily lives now in here. We can access the information freely and we have freedom of expression, so we have to act instead of

  • Resistance During The Holocaust Essay

    During the Holocaust, a great number of brave individuals wondered whether they should have reacted to the Nazi forces through passive or violent acts of resistance. Any form of resistance was vital for even the slightest possibility of survival for the jews. In “Resistance During the Holocaust”, “The Diary of Anne Frank”, and “Violins of Hope,” it gave real examples of Jewish people who chose to arm themselves and fight the Nazis head on or Jews who opted for passivity in order to hide their loved ones. Nevertheless, the main goal of these methods for resistance was to defy the enemy at hand that was the Nazi party. Therefore, people can best respond to conflict by active resistance in order to avoid late shame and humiliation, escape the

  • Passive Resistance During The Holocaust

    901 Words  | 4 Pages

    During the Holocaust, the Jewish people resisted Nazi oppression using either passive or active resistance. Passive Resistance was non-violent and was shown through music, maintaining daily life, and helping hide Jews. On the other hand, people who partook in active resistance utilized violence to directly counter the Nazis for what they believed. “Violins of Hope”, “Resistance During the Holocaust”, and “The Diary of Anne Frank” show how people used passive resistance to defy Nazi rule. Passive resistance was the most effective type of resistance during the war because it preserved Jewish culture, carried on hope, and provided a better chance of survival for them and their families.

    In Wild Thorns, Sahar Khalifeh uses the absurdities of war to emphasize how the Palestinian Occupation is a war within the Palestinian community, and between the Palestinian and Israeli community. The product of such an environment is the psychological factors of tension, helplessness, sacrifice, and solidarity. Khalifeh’s characters from the Palestinian city of Nablus express these behaviors. Through her bittersweet novel, she invites readers to assess how the Occupation creates an individual to distort cultural values, and how their selfish acts destroy the loves of the group of people they surround themselves by.

In opposition some countries are not willing to take on the responsibilities of letting displaced people into their borders. After seeing the lifestyle displaced people face each day the film encouraged me to do what I can to spread awareness about the unsteady world refugees face. I know that I would have a difficult time living like a displaced person and I cannot begin to image the fear, sadness, and struggles each day brings. Although, as an individual I do not feel I can achieve much impact, I do believe that sharing the messages presented in the film will bring greater understanding to others and from there a stronger force can be achieved.

War is relative to the person experiencing it; a war that ends with a peace treaty for one could be a life long mental fight for another. Jobs, homes, and loved ones are subject to loss during times of war. As resources and goods are shipped overseas, people living on domestic home fronts suffer the backlash of the fighting. The ones who inevitably experience the most loss are the soldiers fighting within the war.
