How do I deal with a family member I feel I am losing to anti-Israel and anti-Jewish propaganda?

22. Thank you all for your thoughtful replies.

I hardly ever post here. It took quite a bit for me to unload what I am observing within my own family. So, I would be remiss if I did not thank you all for not judging me. After reading your posts, I have one additional thing I would like to discuss. My family is of Guatemalan descent. My understanding is that there is a long history of good relations between Israel and Guatemala. I have read about Netanyahu saying that Guatemala Street is a common street name in Israel in thanks to Guatemala being one of the first countries to acknowledge Israel's independent statehood. Anecdotally from a much older family member, I know that many Jews lived in Guatemala as far back as the 1930's. I speculate these were primarily European refugees fleeing the Nazis. The family member I am concerned about suggested that this Jewish presence was somehow bad and that Israeli cooperation with Guatemala over the years was also bad. I think this is the root of why this person is now so easily condemning Israel. Where this family member ingested what I believe was misinformation I don't know...Possibly from his father, who collects biases like some folks collect stamps. I am left wondering if propaganda only takes root where fallow ground already exists - in which case the family member who I am concerned about isn't really the progressive he otherwise portrays himself to be. In terms of how I will deal with this, I don't yet know. I'm not the confrontational type. At the same time, I don't want to hold a grudge against this family member if Trump wins by a handful of votes and the world is left asking once more "How the F did this happen?" The first time Trump won, I did not have an answer to that question. This time around, I feel like I would have part of the answer. Something needs to be done - NOW. I need to say something to this family member - SOON. I hope that anyone else experiencing what I am experiencing realizes the seriousness of the matter. The very Democratic ideal for peace is being conflated with something sinister, something rooted in bias and misinformation - and it has the potential to tear us apart, not just as a Party but also as a family.
