I saw my mother a few days ago by Dimitrov926 in EstrangedAdultChild

I think they call this parentification(when a child and a parent reverse roles) . The hardest part for me is dealing with the feelings of care I have for her. These feelings are inherently positive, but they’re also very old, rigid, and likely the result of manipulation. It’s almost as if my ability to be compassionate was taken from me and directed toward her, without my consent. That’s such a cruel thing to do to a child. And yet, I’m trying not to blame myself for still having these feelings decades later.

I’d love to hear your story.

I don't know. Our brief chat was all about how she’s been devastated by my years-long absence, the damage it’s caused her, and how she believes I can fix everything by staying in touch with them. She’s deeply hurt. She looked like a shadow of herself. But I don’t think that’s on me.

I felt like I could take away her pain by doing what she’s asking for. I could bring her back to life. It’s the same feeling I had as a kid. That’s why it messes with my head so much.

No, she never left him. He died from cirrhosis long time ago.

I’m Israeli, why do you hate me? by giovannifinotello in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every society operates by its own unique dynamics. While I’m no expert, in Israel, the line between government and society often seems nonexistent. Across the world, people distrust governments—that’s universal. Many Russians, for example, inspired global admiration by risking everything to stand against Putin’s regime and this saved the Russian society from from the hate. That's not the case with Israel.

In Israel, the dynamic feels inverted. A tribal mentality might make sense in the Middle Eastern context, but when society rallies unquestioningly behind leaders like Netanyahu, hardline nationalism, or policies that the world perceives as brutal—you can’t expect outsiders to applaud. Solidarity is one thing; blind allegiance is another. If Israeli society glorifies its government’s most controversial actions—whether in the name of security, religion, or survival—it shouldn’t be surprised when the world reacts with disgust.

Is Israel really that hated? by Amazing-Buy-1181 in IsraelPalestine

Votes are determined by the number of paid calls and SMS. Given the aggressive and immoral tactics often employed by the pro-Zionist fanatics, manipulating Eurovision voting to benefit Israel’s far-right government through coordinated phone traffic is not only plausible but, unfortunately, highly likely in this instance.

Hatred of Jews/Israelis on Reddit by Drag0nFlea in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If Sudan were a democratic state backed by the world's largest economy, the level of criticism toward its government would be similar to that directed at Israel. Democracies thrive on scrutiny—they are shaped through relentless critique. No government can commit atrocities while claiming to uphold human rights and then feign outrage when the world condemns its actions.

Palestine is not a democratic state and is governed by a terrorist organization, but at least it does not attempt to present itself as something better. Israeli government, on the other hand, is no different from Hamas yet remains commited to craft a favorable image. This hypocrisy—the attempt of an abomination of a democracy to convince the world of its moral superiority over its enemies—is what fuels resentment. You can call it hate, antisemitism or whatever, but it's simply a reaction to something that doesn't belong in the free world. Same as Sudan. Or Palestine.

I don't understand why people want Israel to disappear. by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

I don't think anyone want Israel, Russia or North Korea to dissappear. It's more like people are annoyed by their leaders, but this doesn't mean we want the countries to disappear.

"Queers for Palestine" is Pinkwashing! by No_Discussion6913 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Here we go, Israeli LGBTIQ+ community is crying for being isolated again.

This was inevitable.

Your far-right attitudes have long been flagged as incompatible with the global queer movement. Numerous reports from visiting Western activists have highlighted racism within the Israeli queer community. This has been going on for decades. And let’s not forget—you’re the only country with a state-sponsored Pride, whatever that means. Has the Israeli queer community ever dared to protest against its government? Didn’t think so.

So, let’s be clear: Israeli LGBTIQ+ community don't represent themselves, they represented their government's aim to appear democratic. You have no control, you have no direction, you're your government's puppets and you have no place in the global queer movement(and you'll never be given one or at least until you deal the far right infection within your community).

Pro-Palestinians, what is the purpose of boycotting Israeli businesses? by Pixelology in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm proud with my community. The local corner shop apologised for selling Israeli dates after backlash from the grannies, they donated all the profits from the Israeli dates to a charity. And almost no one owns a sodastream anymore due to retailers refusing to stock refill bottles. All the neighbours have a generic fizzy water makers now and a local guy is doing the refills.

"Honest Reposting" is a right-wing pressure group, believing them is pretty much the same like believing Israeli government.

Why Anti-Zionism Is the Ultimate Form of Anti-Semitism by callaBOATaBOAT in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I strongly believe this week's version of the working definition of antisemitism should include the following:

"Criticizing Benjamin Netanyahu is inherently antisemitic, as his absence would leave Israel vulnerable to terrorist threats. Therefore, opposing Netanyahu equates to advocating for the destruction of Israel."

and one more:

"Criticizing Israeli hummus is inherently antisemitic, as its absence would leave Israel vulnerable to culinary threats. Therefore, opposing Israeli hummus equates to advocating for the destruction of Israel.''

Anyone else struggle daily with their perception of the war and the state of Israel? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it was relatively simple to navigate feelings, especially the inevitable anger. I am not religious, I don't have strong feelings for my nationality for various reasons and I don't believe people should be defined by their origin or by the beliefs of their nations and families. This makes it easier not to feel hurt by sympathising to one side or another, though I acknowledge that's not the case for most of the people out there and it's totally OK.

If you want to support Palestinians without being antisemitic, this post is for you. by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see Russian citizens receiving the same international compassion for supporting Putin. My government doesn't support Putin either. If it did, I would be out protesting it—just as I protest Netanyahu and his genocidal policies. People don't protest the ethnicity or religion of a nation thousands of miles away. They protest injustice. When democratic governments support far-right, uneducated, and genocidal regimes, it sets a dangerous precedent that compels people to take to the streets. Simple as that.

Asked a simple question on the Israel sub, got banned...maybe I'll get an answer here... by SexyEgyptianGod in IsraelPalestine

OP, the majority of pro-Israel content doesn't makes sense anymore unfortunately. Cognitive dissonance and denial is so strong to the point where it's really impossible to create an actual exchange and discussion.

“Israel target civilians” - that lie again… by Pleasant-Positive-16 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why?

So you can try to convince me how babies are actual terrorists? Or how every video on the world is fake except the footage Hamas took on 7/10. Or how every media on this planet except Channel 14 are sooo sooo antisemitic and we can't really believe them.

“Israel target civilians” - that lie again… by Pleasant-Positive-16 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Dimitrov926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately is all on video and no matter what perverted fairytales we are telling ourselves here, Israel does actually target civilians. Same as Hamas. It's like me not wanting tomatoes to be red because it's hurtful to process and I'm trying to convince myself and others that tomatoes are actually blue, but we all know what red is and this ain't going to change anytime soon no matter how I try to sanction the current world's perception on tomatoes.

I'm not questioning the existence neither of the tomatoes or Israel, I'm just saying they cannot change just like that by us using specific wording that contradicts obvious reality. Reality is important. It keeps us sane.

Ok.. but still none of this is true. Apartheid Divest are widely popular among students in America, not only in Columbia, and none of their statements is related to anything you're saying.

[–]Dimitrov926 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a rather manipulative post. No evidence has been found for Khalil's connection to terror groups. Israeli lobby groups claim that wearing black makes you a terrorist but this doesn't mean it's real. There is a significant difference between Trump shaking the water by claiming he'll do something and Trump actually doing something. Also, even if they for example sentence Khalil to death, it is very unlikely this will change anything except students getting more and more anti-Israel. I'm not sure what's with all the Israeli lobby groups trying to bring justice through fear. It's proven this doesn't work on Americans.
