喫茶タイムス前列で楽しく話した君とデモ参加したかった

テロ国家、占領国家イスラエルによるパレスチナ人民に対する一方的な虐殺が続いている。イスラエルによるパレスチナ人民に対する一方的な虐殺を今すぐ阻止し、パレスチナ解放を勝ち取っていかなければならない。

 2/18、新宿駅南口の「ラファに手を出すな!」全国行動に参加してきた。行動前、簡易なデコレを作ろうと新宿で良く行く喫茶店「タイムス」へ。ここはちゃんと新聞が全紙置いてあるので良く行くのです。

「タイムス」が混んでいて、列が出来ているので驚いた。やっぱり西武が歌舞伎町に移転したのが効いているのだろうか。

並びの徒然に隣のあんちゃん(30代くらい)と話す。

田舎出身ぽいいい感じのあんちゃんだった。話も弾んだ。

「タイムス」の中に座り、デコレを書いていると隣の嫌な感じの二人組(20代後半くらい、鼻ピアス)の1人に話しかけられる。

 一人がチラチラ私の方をみながら、陰謀論youtuberのことを偉そうにもう一人に話してきたので不快に思っていたら、「すいません、これ何が正しいんですかね」…

ムカつく気持ちを抑え、原則的に説明した。これは戦争ではなく一方的な虐殺であること。そもそも占領地植民地であるイスラエル国家に自衛権など存在しないこと。

 行動開始時間が迫っていたので「じゃぁ良かったら君たちも行動覗いてみてください」と、早々に会計済ませて出た。

 行動が佳境に入ってきたころ、まず好感度高い「タイムス」列で偶然隣り合わせになり良い感じで会話を交わした田舎っぽい青年が通りかかった。「やべ!あのおっさん左翼だったのか…」という感じで目を伏せて、私に話しかけられないように足早に通り過ぎる。程なくして、悪感度マックスの鼻ピアス小生意気二人組が通りかかった。軽薄に手を振られ挨拶される。

 前者の田舎っぺの方が本質的には連帯できる人なのになぁ、と思いつつ行動貫徹。

 The unilateral massacre of the Palestinian people by the terrorist and occupying state of Israel continues. The unilateral massacre of the Palestinian people by Israel must be stopped now and the liberation of Palestine must be won.

On February 18, at the south exit of Shinjuku Station, "Hands off Rafah!" I participated in the national action. Before the action, I went to "Times", a coffee shop I often go to in Shinjuku to make a simple placard. I often go there because this place has all the newspapers properly.

I was surprised that "Times" was crowded and there was a line. I wonder if the Seibu moving to Kabukicho is helping after all.

I talk with a brudda next to me (in his 30s or so) in the idle of the line.

He was a nice guy from the countryside. We had a nice conversation.

As I was sitting in the "Times" and writing a placard, one of the two guys next to me (in their late 20s, with nose piercings) who looked like jerks talked to me.

One of them glanced at me and spoke to the other in a pompous manner about conspiracy theory youtubers, which made me uncomfortable, and he said to me, "Excuse me, which side is right" ...

I suppressed my annoyance and explained in principle. That this was not a war, but a one-sided massacre. In the first place, as an occupying colony, the State of Israel has no right to self-defense.

As it was almost time for the action to begin, I said, "Well, you guys can take a peek at the action if you want," and left after paying the bill early.

As the action was coming to a climax, a country-like young man passed by who happened to be next to me in the highly favorable "Times" row and we had a nice conversation. I guessed he thought to himself, "Oh my God! That old man was a leftist..." he kept his eyes down and walked past him quickly so that he wouldn't talk to me.

Soon after, a pair of two nose-pierced little cheeky guys with maximal bad sensitivities walked by. They wave frivolously and greet me.

I think to myself that the former country bumpkin is essentially a person with whom I can be in solidarity, but I persist in my actions.
