The justice

I have been thinking about this question since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian war, what is justice and where it is. This war touched everyone’s heart, not only because of the justice itself but also because of the cry and the bleeding of each civilian ( /səˈvɪliən/) who is involved in on both sides. The world is so divided that contradictions and conflicts are everywhere and there are a lot of people have their own reasons to defend their violence. Here is a true conversation between a Jewish female student and her Jewish university professor in a public classroom where a lot of students witnessed together.

Student:

During your speech, you made a lot of references to Jewish people as well as  certain people in your audience, not Jewish  people in general, but certain people especially  in your audience to Nazis, no that is extremely offensive when certain people are German, and they are also extremely offensive to people who have actually suffered under the Nazi rule.

Professor:

I don’t respect that anymore, I don’t like it and I  don’t respect crocodile tears, to come to the crocodile cheer.
I don’t like to play the foreign audience the Holocaust (/’hɑləkɔst/) card but since now I fell, now I feel compelled (compel, /kəmˈpel/ ), to my late father was an Auschwitz, my late mother, (please shut up), my late mother was in my diamond concentration (/ˌkɑːnsnˈtreɪʃn/) camp (集中营), every single member of my family on both sides was exterminated (/ɪkˈstɜːrmɪneɪt/,灭绝), both of my parents were in the Warsaw Ghetto (/’ɡɛto/,犹太人区、贫民区) uprising, and it is precisely (/prɪˈsaɪsli/,精确的) and exactly because of the lessons my parents taught me and my two siblings, that I will not be silent when Israel commits its crimes against the Palestinians and I consider nothing more despicable (/dɪˈspɪkəbl/,卑鄙的) than to use their suffering and their murder them to try to justify the torture （/ˈtɔːrtʃər/,折磨、拷问）, the brutalization (/ˌbru:təlai’zeiʃən/,兽性) that the demolition ( /ˌdeməˈlɪʃn/,毁坏) of homes and Israel daily commits against the Palestinian.

So I refuse any longer to be intimidated (/ɪnˈtɪmɪdeɪt/, 恐吓、威胁) or browbeaten (/ˈbraʊbiːt/,以语言或表情 恫吓、威逼) by the tears, if you had any heart in you, you would be crying to the Palestinians, not for what you done.

We are all living in an era of information explosion, as an individual, it is impossible to distinguish which news is fabricated (/ˈfæbrɪkeɪt/,捏造), we are not the doctor who can give a correct prescription ( /prɪˈskrɪpʃn/, 处方)  or a useful treatment to the war, but at least, people should not exist without the humanities, if they were lost, just try to find them back. If there is a chance to do something can help them, try to let each voice of despair can be heard instead of manipulating news and utilizing loopholes.
