I am not sure. I have some memories with them from many many years. But actually I don't know these people.
I have issues with my whole family - with literally all of them not because some are Israeli.
According to my mom, which certainly should not be trusted my Israeli relatives are against the war and Netanjahu. Because they are forced to participate in it. No moral questions were raised from what she told me. My mom also called Palestinians evil and that I should stick to Israel because of my relatives.
The last time I met these people was at the funeral of my grandfather who died of a stroke witnessing a family argument. My mom and grandmother wanted to throw me out of my home because I talked about the abuse I experienced my whole life by my mom. My grandad who already had dementia tried to defend me and then he had a stroke. The whole family blamed me for it at the funeral. The funeral was a nightmare. But I had the feeling some relatives enjoyed how I was blamed for that. Me as the black sheep.
This was the last time I met my Israeli relatives. I actually don't like any of my relatives. Most of them are morally corrupt.
I cannot make a clear judgement about my Israeli relatives. Personally, I am emotional distanced of all my relatives. They cannot hurt me anymore. My dad has horrible political takes. I am used to it. I always had the feeling my ancestors were probably involved in war crimes in Nazi Germany and in WW1. From how I can judge my family and my own motives. I think we are all sheep and opportunists. I think none of them had the courage to step up against war crimes. And now I know my Israeli relatives are probably involved in war crimes.
I don't feel that guilty about that. I don't know these people. But in general I think it is good to participate in pro-Palestine protests. Not because of my relatives. It is more about in general a statement against war crimes that my government funds and actively supports.
