mark clemson Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If they are really friends, shouldn't they be able to accept who you are? The GF especially for this... Link to post Share on other sites

There are religious people who practice and those who don't. I don't get the sense that you have a strong faith, so if you can let the rhetoric roll off your back you can enjoy your GF and friends. The problem is are they strongly radical? If so they will dig at you and increase the pressure to try to get you to react. It's human nature. I tend to agree with you brother. These people will not be your friends in the future. And what about my girlfriend? Shes also with me since I'm "progressive and different". Otherwise shes the same as the others our only common point is workers rights. That's the only campaign I'm truly passionate about.

And I'd give the same advice if you were from any other war torn country where they were actively hating on the residents. Would you think a relationship with such people can be sustained and successful? Link to post Share on other sites

assertives Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Well, no one can tell you if it's worth it or not. You'll have to decide that for yourself. Everyone has their own deal breakers. For some people, religion is a deal-breaker, for others, it's not. So you'll have to figure out what you can live with or not, and what kind of sacrifice is worth it to you.

2BGoodAgain Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 i don't let my race, religion define who i am... my character and my actions do... does the action n character of your "love of your life" and "friends" agree with you? Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If your faith is important to you & you are taking grief over it from your SO, it's time to get a new SO. In a healthy relationship, SOs support each other in all aspects of their relationships. I can't imagine maintaining friendships with people who despite fundamental core principles & things that make me me. Link to post Share on other sites

It's about claiming that country shouldn't exist and having no support for my religion/country. Instead it's just hate. Link to post Share on other sites

Should I finally call it quits or is it okay and I'm the problem in this particular situation? I think that the first time she did this, you should have dumped her right then and there. No, you aren't the problem here. For you, they are the problem. Edited February 14, 2020 by kendahke Link to post Share on other sites

It really doesn't matter what any of us thinks about the statement---it's how YOU feel about it and if you can repeatedly stomach the insults just because you get sex out of her.

Read a couple of books on the founding of Israel by a real impartial Historian. Don't read one by someone with an axe to grind. Find a couple that are balanced. Do your own research. Quit listening to your brainwashed friends and pundits on the television. Use your own critical thinking skills. Link to post Share on other sites

No. They cannot be friends with anyone who shares a different opinion to the. They have no Jewish friends and none of them want to be in their group due to their behaviour. I act like I'm not from Israel and I never say anything positive about it, separate myself from it so I'm likef by them. Link to post Share on other sites

What my friends and gf believe in is not wrong. Its 50-50 on both sides. But they will not listen to it so I choose to keep quiet. Link to post Share on other sites
