  • Just had a fairly heated argument with the mother in law about Israel and Gaza. Her stance of Israel being justified for committing genocide and that I'm believing propaganda and what she's following is true that says the Muslims are trying to wipe Israel off the face of the earth despite 34,000 gazans dead. I was so close to shooting at her. I'm going to get it in the neck from my partner when we go up to bed but fuck that noise. I might put up with her crazy when I'm up at hers but I'm not fucking putting up with it in my own house.

  • If I might offer an outside view, in the hopes of sparing you some strife: it doesn’t seem like she’s reached her conclusions on the issue with a rational, fact-based thought process. As such, trying to reason her out of that position likely won’t achieve anything except risking frustrating and angering you further. Sucks but that’s the human mind for you.

    Perhaps you can tell her firmly that it’s an issue you feel very strongly about and that you don’t want it discussed in your house?

  • Understand, but try and make peace for the sake of harmony as the square root of fuck all is the number for getting someone to change their opinion.

    Good luck with surviving
