I read an article in J-Weekly that talks about a museum in Oakland canceling an exhibit that had drawings from children in the Gaza Strip. Huge controversy rose about about this because people thought that these pictures were not suitable for children to see. There was also concern about the pictures not even being drawn by children, because things were written in English and there were pictures of Jewish soldiers with Jewish stars on them. I don't find the star thing odd but English writing from children in Gaza is weird. I think that this exhibit should have been shown anyways. It is really important for people to know what is happening in Gaza. It is the most densely populated place in the world right now and crazy and bad things are happening there.
