After seeing everything on the news, I decided to go and see for myself what is happening at UCLA. I went in with the intention of having honest conversations to try and truly understand each others pain and suffering . However, no one would speak to me . The only thing they would say to me is “You can speak with our media liaison” or “We don’t speak to agitators” . When I tried to speak with their “media liaison” they again refused to talk to me.
Then, when I tried to peacefully enter their “encampment”, which is on public property that anyone has the right to walk through, they set up a human barricade to physically prevent me from going in.
I can’t believe this is what our world has come to. Where are their parents? How are the school systems allowing this? We have to do better as a society.
My hope and dream is still the same: that one day we can all have love, peace, and understand each other.
One day…
I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.
When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.
