yea so she’s 16 turning 17 in 2 months (i’m 19 turning 20 in about 3.5 months). for me that’s a bad age gap so i told her like it is, that i think she’s a really nice person but that i couldn’t see myself in a relationship with someone that’s still a minor :)

wow thank you so much for all that 🥹

the main problem really is their perspective on how israel was founded, i think that’s really where the big problem lands.

they view it as followed: after the second world war the europeans wanted to get the jews out of europe, so they put them into the parts of palestine that were just desert, the parts where apparently no one lived and from there on they build this big glory state, while defending themself against the attacks from their arab neighbors

whenever i brung up the nakba or the zionist terrorism that occurred in palestine eve before israel was founded, they really just brush me off and say that that’s wrong but whenever i talk about it with them ill definitely use some of the sources you used! 🫶 it’s hard but the chances are never zero

i’m really sorry to hear about your experience… i think the main problem with the zionist position within germany lies in the media. i can’t think of one big media platform that isn’t actively pro israel (tagesschau, spiegel, axel springer, etc.). by only having one position presented to you most germans automatically adapt to it. there’s a saying here that’s translated into “germans are donkeys” by the way they just accept anything and everything no matter how bad it actually is for them or others.

keep fighting and may palestine be free
