The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don’t stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
My father in law is visiting this weekend and he’s kind of a know it all socdem. I don’t know what his stance in this all is and I’m not really looking forward to the discussion we’ll probably have. Maybe it’s not too bad but I kinda expect him to go ‘but Hamas are terrorists though’. I had a big argument with him when Ukraine started so I’m afraid it may turn into a big argument yet again. Or that his endless pacifism affects my partner who, for the first time, is starting to see through the propaganda with this kind of things.
Socratic dialogue may be your friend, here.
In a weird, messed up way Israel helps to bring across my POV by just being Israel and flattening Gaza.
I’ll probably cut the conversation off if it gets heated. I don’t want to discuss if it’s moral to genocide Palestinians and no amount of talking will get me to condemn Palestina. And maybe it will be all good and he condems Israel as well.
