Feeling pretty mean and gross, I fucking hate arguing with people who love me.

Last two times I have spoken to my well-meaning family about Palestine it has ended with us storming away from each other. We’ll agree about 99 percent of the matter but whenever it comes down to “is hamas popular among Palestinians” things get fucking ugly and it’s freaking me out, they are otherwise perfectly rational people but they need me to agree that Hamas is actually taking advantage of Palestinians as a whole. (For clarity’s sake my position is that no I am not a fan of baby killing or whatever but I’m not letting things get framed as though this is a separate war between the IDF and hamas with the palestinians being caught in between.)

The thing is I know I’m in the right but unlike some of you brave posters I’ve got no experience with how to endure these huge arguments with family without feeling sick and depressed afterwards
