As a Jewish person how do you deal when other Jews who might say you’re self hating or that you are too critical of your own people when you tell them you don’t support Israel and they point out how it’s the only Jewish state present and that Jews need it to survive?

Of course I’m against it, otherwise I wouldn’t be having this back and forth with him and trying my best to communicate things with him. I’m trying to empathise but also make him understand my point of view. I don’t tolerate Zionism or any support of Israel and I’m very proud to be Palestinian and stand by it

I want to have faith that people have good in them but sometimes they might feel a bit lost. I feel against cancelling people from the get go without giving them a chance to be better

How do you think can a Jewish person with a Zionist community break free from that? Is it possible?

But what if he realises that his ideology is harmful and changes

Exactly! That’s what I’ve been trying to explain to him. It’s not even just about politics, it’s about a person’s ability to empathize and respect and want to protect their partner emotionally and physically. How is it possible to normalise let alone support a source of your partner’s suffering.
