History & accurately reported events.
L’il Miss Conservative moi was at one time a lot more sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians (as were my parents). Access to accurately reported events makes a huge difference.
The trick is to be clear about which sources are accurate. I don’t think she takes my opinion as fact. I think she’s still reading “Electronic Intifada”.
I should probably forget about having an impact on the politics of my family members. I’m too much of a heretic to them already.
