Her Morals Are All Over The Place I Seriously Can't Get A Hold Of What They Are - Tumblr Posts

I have no clue how to deal with my pro-Israeli Christian mother. How do you argue with someone who would stake their life in a book of fables?

What's messed up is that she's Native, but still refuses to see the Palestinian struggles as parallel to our struggles.

"The Jews have a right to their homeland," she says, which gives them the right to pour white phosphorus on kids.

"Hamas attacked first!" Which undoes the historical r*ping, murder, and pillaging of Palestinians that goes into what made Hamas.

Just when I finally thought I found a middle ground with her, when I thought that I was able to convince her that if not to condemn the concept of Israel, to at least condemn the actions of the Netanyahu government, nothing.

Nothing will stop a Christian Zionist. Her idealogy automatically makes her believe that the Palestinians are lesser. Any evil done by the Israeli government has the protection of God, while the fighting back of Palestinians shows how they don't deserve their homeland.

An IDF soldier can r*pe and kill a thousand families, and he has the protection of God, but a man defending his family from the IDF soldier has committed a grave sin by killing his attacker.

I'm not sure when I'll be willing to talk to her again. I'm sure I will because she's my mother and I love her, but she gives me tears of frustration with how she stays purposefully ignorant so she can think of Israel as the perfect nation protected by God.
