Becky Walker Reflection by B https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb 3 things that shocked you 2 things you learned 1 thing that you appreciate now that you have heard her story. en-us 2017-11-06 15:50:34 UTC 2017-11-08 14:06:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Send.png Grace Kisting https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948756 From the Becky Walker video, I learned that the borders of Palestine and Israel change all the time and no one under the age of 45 can cross the boarder. I was shocked to learn that Mrs. Walker's car was blown up because it was on the boarder of Palestine and Israel, which had changed. I was also shocked that they didn't have anesthetic in Palestine and that Mrs. Walker was talking about the bombing she saw like it was okay, like it was normal. Now that I have watched this interview, one thing I appreciate is all of the jobs and food we have in America. Some people live like the people in Palestine, but my life has always been more like the side of Israel, with medicine and many opportunities.]]> 2017-11-06 15:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948756 Garrett Balog https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948794 One thing that shocked me was the inconsistency of the border time, sometimes it was twenty minutes and sometimes eight hours. Another thing that shocked me was the blown up car near the border. A final shock was that you had to be forty five years old to cross the border at all.
The first thing I learned was how dramatic of a change there was between the countries, Israel was developed while Palestine was almost a slum. Another thing I learned was there was very little technology available in Palestine.
One thing I appreciate now is the freedom to simply move around, you don't have to be forty five or wait for an immense amount of time to just move out of a tiny area.]]> 2017-11-06 15:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948794 Mia Chitwood https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948837 I was shocked how far behind they are like the have minim to no technology and how hard it is to get through the boarder and all the restrictions. I learned about the percentage of Hamous terrorist are in Palestine. I appreciate and got a whole new understanding of family live in Palestine and how different it is here like they devote everything to their families and I though that was amazing.]]> 2017-11-06 15:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948837 Elizabeth Maguire https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948925 Shocked Me:
1. That the Israelis would not let the mother giving birth to triplets through the border and let her die while waiting.
2. Their car was blown up for being practically on the border.
3. That the Israelis would not think to help the Palestinian people with technology or medicine
Learned:
1. The borders change all the time.
2. Both sides are at fault on the subject of who is more violent towards each other
Appreciate:
1. I appreciate the fact that we have advanced medicine in the United States and that I don't have to worry about border changes.]]> 2017-11-06 15:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948925 Grace Dean https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948935 The three things that shocked me were the dramatic difference between Jerusalem and Palestine, the fact that authorities can and will change the border, and the way the homes were stacked on top of one another. One thing that I learned were that as a result of technology, families spent a lot of their time just being together, via eating and other varies activities. The second thing I learned was that the Gaza Strip is only 25 by 4 miles. One thing that I appreciate now is how available transportation is here in the United States. A mother going into labor died because transportation couldn't get to her and she was not able to cross the border to get to medical assistance. That's intense. ]]> 2017-11-06 15:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948935 Riley Edwards https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948968 Three things that shocked me was that you could not pass over certain borders if you were young (under the age of 45), that her husband's car was blown up because the borders suddenly shifted, and the inconsistency of security (can take from five minutes to eight hours to get mail because of security). Two things I learned was that the borders can shift very suddenly and that the Gaza strip is very small, only about 25 by 4 square miles. After learning about conditions in Palestine, I appreciate more the stability in the United States. Unlike the Palestine/Israel territories, the United States doesn't suffer from sudden change in borders and such frequent terror attacks.]]> 2017-11-06 15:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203948968 Matt Ferrara https://padlet.com/bethanysmith/a4te46wiiyjb/wish/203949066 Shocked Me :
