So, I’m not really talking to anybody who feels this way, at least about Palestine, but my lib partner who supports a one-state solution but feels a bit less enthusiastic about violent resistance, has been talking to our Zionist or ex-Zionist friends about Palestine. She’s very concerned that I will say something that will cause them to freak the fuck out.
She’s also concerned that since I’ve put a Palestinian flag poster in our window, that those friends can’t come to our house.
I don’t know how much she’s projecting her own anxieties onto her friends vs. how they’d actually feel, but it’s definitely a source of stress in our relationship right now.
I think she figures that Israeli people, being normal and good people without hate in their hearts, will eventually put enough pressure on their own government, whether by or by protest, to end apartheid. She is also full of despair, because that seems highly unlikely. We have had many discussions
Honestly hadn’t really thought about this effect, but I’d heard about the brain drain. Loads of people doing exactly* what they ought and deciding to not be settlers leaves an only those who have decided to be settlers.
*ok, not exactly what they ought; they ought to take up arms and form a fifth column, but we can’t all be John Brown.

I disagree and resent your assertion
"There will absolutely not be any conditions on our aid packages to isreal" - the person libs keep telling me is the answer to this problem
Also remember not to take them anywhere they don't have to pay for parking
Good, say it, fuck those freaks
conflict avoidance is a common personality trait, but not useful for the task of the revolutionary
