have so far staunchly avoided the topic of palestinian apartheid around my 70 year old liberal jewish father (who kibbutz-ed in israel in his young adulthood) and my 66 year old moderate-democrat christian mother but I'm going to visit them tonight and man I don't think I can avoid it forever!! wish me luck...

#the thing is they will agree with whatever msnbc has been saying #but I'm not sure what msnbc has been saying bc we dont get cable at my apartment #in the brief window i visited them earlier this week #at one point i saw a guest speaker talking to the host about the genocide of palestinians #but later that night when i turned to the news the host then was talking about terrorist attacks on israel #so im guessing msnbc is taking a 'both sides' approach??#which is. bad obviously but tbh better than i expected wrt where my parents will side on this #might have more hope of swaying them this way #idk #i mentioned smth vague to my dad yesterday and he responded #'yeah with thousands of people being killed every day'#and to my knowledge palestinians are the only ones being murdered by the thousands #so maybe #he cares about palestinian deaths??#idk. its a stretch
