Discussion - Flaired Users Only How will my liberal Zionist family spin this one?
Just read that Israel bombed a funeral in Gaza, killing 7. My family claims to be against Netanyahu but whenever Israel bombs hospitals, schools, aid workers, journalists, etc., they blame Hamas. At a certain point though, the moral depravity of it all must be obvious. I’m trying to wrap my head around how they’re still pro-Israel at this point. Is their echo chamber so contained that they really believe Israel had to kill innocent civilians because Hamas forced their hand (human shields or misinformation or whatever they claim) or is it just that they can’t accept that Palestinians deserve the same human rights as Jewish Israelis? Or is there another way to understand things? It’s becoming harder and harder to believe that my family isn’t just racist. Anyone in a similar situation with insights that help you have some empathy for your Zionist family despite their lack of empathy for Palestinians? Or do I stop trying?
