So, just the other day I was invited to be interviewed by a Palestinian student that Kimberly knows. Her name was Hanadi (I'm sorry if I killed that). And she wanted to know what American students thought about the Palestinian Israeli conflict that is going on right now.
My realization I do not know as much as I thought about current events. I was forced to explain that in front of her camera. But apparently in order to be informed about this issue you have to dig like mad on the Internet. According to NBC "X" number of soldiers go in and they move to other news. What they fail to tell us is that "Y" number of Palestinian were killed by "X" number of soldiers because Israel will not let journalists in.
Grr. The conversation at the Wilk on campus made me disgusted. Palestine is a prison right now nobody comes in (except American financed gun toting Israeli soldiers.) And nobody comes out, including all of the homeless Palestinian natives. So here is the challenge if you want to be informed see if you can come to one of Mr. Birds classes Feb 16th and 17th (I might be wrong about those dates so I will make sure) because Kimberly will be teaching and I believe Hanadi will also be there. So come and get informed about something I was not.
PS. These are the correct dates.

That was such an awesome gathering.
It was!
Thanks, Eric.
I think it's so sad how little I know about the world going on around me, and I needed this reminder to get out there and get educated.
I'll be there for sure when Hanadi teaches. I want to be more informed.
Thanks again.
