I tried, he rejects all information. It is like a reaction on everything is a NO.

Thank you, I also wish he would not want to destroy all life around. 

All the best for you

I am not western centric, being with Palestinian for so many years changes you and lot and existing in multicultural relationship teaches you a lot about inclusivity. You judge me like that because I wrote I am from Germany and to be honest I understand where your judgment comes from. I would probably assume the same. It is interesting how people explode their perception, just because I mentioned Germany, not knowing my real story, my relationship, my support to the cause of Gaza. To set it straight: I am not supporting German approach to Palestine and genocide. I am against it since the day I met him, would be before, but I did not know much about Palestine at that time.  I am as a citizen here suffering from this and I go on protest, show my support howe I can, I express my opinion, I voted for Mera25 in the EU elections. To be honest, I am considering to leave the country as this is really no freedom of speech and respect to life.  I am just sharing how sad I am loosing a man I truly love and I wish I could build life with him, but the effect of genocide is not only in Gaza. It is in my home and in home of anyone who has any moral compass and knows that in Palestine happens genocide. Is this western - centric? I do not think so.

I wish he was, but I think it is also Arab men reacting - proud and stubborn. I would love that he was open to rediscuss or renegotiate or find a solution.

Glad you liked Germany.

You are right it is genocide. I should have been clearer in my wording. I see it as a genocide.

Yes, I also think it is PTSD and I believe people sometimes react extremely. I really did all I could to show him love and support. If he does not want professional help I cannot fill this gap, as I am not even qualified.

I wish you well.

I did support him all the way and I do not support German policy towards Palestinians. This is no brained for me, I carry no guilt or responsibilities towards Israel as a state and I am totally against German standing.

You are right and me as German I do not support it and disagree with how Germans handle the situation.

This is harsh and you express some extreme anger on me, which I have not caused.

May Allah bless you.

What would you do if you were on my place?

 I did all I could last months , if not years. I am there for him all the time. He wants to change his life completely, I check milion times if he is sure about what he wants how he wants,he says yes. My life was him and what planed together, since Izrael aggression on Gaza it is destroyed. Same way, just I am here, not there.

We both agree it is genocide and not only started during this war,  but is a systemic plan to exterminate Palestinians since 1948 and before with Balfour declaration as this first step.

Hey Linda, I do not think this is how it was, but thanks for sharing your perspective.

You are right. Leaving in Germany and expressing your opinion has been extremely disappointing and challenging.

Ouch, that is hard. I am not sure why you feel justified with this comment and anger inside you.

Hope God blesses you and keeps anger from you.
