update my friend and i made a doc of all of his microaggresions this year

I'm Jewish. I'm also a freshman in high school. I have World History first period, and at the beginning of every class, my teacher asks if we have any current events or news to share.

Today when he asked the question, I bought up how it was the anniversary of the October 7th attacks. He said I was right, explained to the class what I was talking about, and mentioned that about four hundred people were killed.

When I corrected him that it was over a thousand (I couldn't think of the exact number off the top of my head), he replied, "Well, we don't know for sure."

Not wanting to make a scene in front of my classmates, I shut my mouth, but couldn't help but fathom over the fact that a social studies teacher knows less about the October 7th attacks than your average Jewish teenager. I saw no one post about October 7th today other than Jews. No one brought up October 7th in any of my classes other than me. I had to explain to my friends what it was when I tried to talk to them about it. I watched the PBS News special about October 7th with my dad tonight, and it angered me that no one gives a shit about what they went through. No one is marching on college campuses for the Nova Festival victims, no one is in the streets fighting for the return of the hostages. But please, scream at me how I'm a Nazi for agreeing with the idea of a Jewish nation state. No one will fight for the Jews other than ourselves.

Everyone is so heartless, and unforgiving, that life almost doesn't seem worth living.

Do you believe it's ever truly possible to understand another's experiences, to walk in their shoes, or are we all too wrapped up in out own problems to see life from their point of view?
