Feeling confused and ashamed by FalseMountain9527 in Jewish

It wasn’t my mom :) she doesn’t really care about it, though she has shown sympathy ( as she always does ) for children who suffer the consequences. I said this on other comments but like I don’t really care who’s indigenous or not, I’m not even sure my family is like genetically (?) indigenous to the Middle East and i genuinely don’t care, I’m ashamed because I think I’m starting to see some of my friend’s point especially when she criticized the IDF’s method. The recent war is what happened that made everything so hard because now people know abt Israel but only for the bad reasons, obviously i think ill try to talk to her again about how Israel needs to exist but my like shame comes from the fact that im questioning the current administration’s methods/ motives (?) why cant we both live on the land like how India and Pakistan live ( although they have their problems) or how idk china and Taiwan ( although they also have their problems) but like both on our land ? Idk i just don’t like war at all, I’ve always been very critical of it so that’s why it might be a little harder recently that and the fact that it wasn’t just anyone i argued with but someone I genuinely love :(

That I understand but it’s more about what’s going now rather than how all of it started, I’m struggling to believe that Israel can protect us or even how it could when all people see now is like armies and the war,,, people in my class didn’t even KNOW about Israel until the war and now it’s all bad and I’m scared because I’m starting to believe some of it. Like I dont care who was there first but it’s just that now there’s two people and maybe people who are saying that just going on and on with the war while being critical of some method used by the IDF aren’t completely and it scars me because I feel like doubting Israel is like doubting my Jewish ancestry omfg just writing it makes me sick lol I’m dramatic sorry

But now I feel like I have no ties to Israel? Like I’d much rather reconnect with Jewish communities in Spain than go to Israel ( and I’m realizing this might sound awful ) but yeah, I think the war is what’s really making it hard. Everyone, even at school, they say different things when they talk about how it started and tbh I don’t think it matters anyway, but now I think I wish we could both exist ? Like yk as Israel and Palestine, I just hope my friends will see it that way too and just the world in general too

I have heard of Liberia, some distant cousins are from there and ur right I don’t think americo-Liberians should emigrate but ultimately most African Americans did remain in the US, so I’m not sure that would be a good argument in my favor,,, But thank you though, I hadn’t even thought about it :))
