What does a Palestinian who was forced into exile by the establishment of the State of Israel and experienced the loss of home and family by bombing see in Fukushima, a area where residents have been exiled from their homeland by the nuclear power plant accident?
A Palestinian Human Rights Attorney, examines the commonalities of “Palestine” and “Fukushima” through a trip ti Iitate Village and conversations with former residents of the village.
Raji Sourani is a human rights attorney from the Palestinian district of Gaza committed to the liberation movement. He was imprisoned and tortured for 5 years under the Israeli occupation. Since then, he has continued to be a leader in human rights advocacy.
Raji Sourani visited Iitate Village in Fukushima during a trip to Japan in October 2014. He encountered the reality of Fukushima during this visit through conversations with villagers, one of whom lost his home and a stone factory and another his milk cows and livelihood due to radioactive contamination.
What he found in common between Palestine and Fukushima was the absurd reality that in both cases “who is responsible” for the suffering has been obscured and all responsible parties remain unpunished.
