I love my mom but she’s such a fucking liberal
#ok I’m honestly surprised that my dad seems to be more sympathetic to the Palestinians than my mom#like my mom is all like ‘it’s awful but.. but hamas 😔’ you know like a typical filthy liberal#but my dad was like ‘oh shit damn and fuck wish I could come to the protest with you’ (health problems prevented that)#I’m not pretending like my dad is some leftist champion or anything he’s literally a republican#but so far he’s shown more allyship to the cause than my mom - a democrat - has#and I’d feel more comfortable talking with him about activism#which I would never ever have expected#considering my mom in the past has expressed her disapproval of Israel#and refuses to ever go there#while my dad attended a diving trip in Israel#a long time ago granted but still#.txt#palestine#why does my mom claim to hate Israel so much but then argues with me#when I talk about the lies Israel tells#and I have to talk about it in the most mild spineless forgiving way possible if I want her to even listen to me#and when my mom is lowkey insinuating that I’m being antisemitic my dad points out how many Jews are at protests#why is my republican catholic boomer dad more understanding of the situation than my left leaning environmentalist mom#she’s always talking about environmental impact well what about all the chemicals and pollution that Israel is dumping into the environment#what about all the ecological crimes they’re committing?
