Enjoy your passover dinners, internet communist friends. Drink wine and curse Tsar Nicholas for me. I'm delaying my personal passover until Sunday. Hopefully the Angel of Death understands.
I'm not jewish, but my old roommate is, and his family invites me every year for passover. They are generally rad, but it's really hard for me to argue about israel with them.
like they're the type of jewish family that knows that the government is awful and what is happening to palestinians is awful, but also somehow still believe jews have a right to their homeland. (mostly just the dad, who is a rabbi)
Well, we're all entitled to be a little irrational when the consequences don't really go beyond a dining room argument, I guess. Enjoy the dinner and the holiday, and tell them you stand with the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.
yeah, we def will sometimes get into it, because they do like arguing at dinner (at least in the beginning, by the end everyone is exhausted and ZOOMING through the prayers and stuff).
we are more likely to argue over other stuff regarding the story.
last year the big debate was if moses was circumsized or not.
I'm gonna keep this in mind as a good discussion prompt/icebreaker.
