Absolutely. It sounds like the stories I’ve read about kids who outgrew the KKK. It’s hard to understand how all the people who treat you with love are able to be so wrong about hate.
Not all Israeli families are like that. I worked with two Israeli Jews with dual citizenship in the US, and we’ve remained friends since. One attended the pro-Palestine protest at NYU. They both grew up in liberal homes in Israel. They were raised with the belief that Palestinians should have access to their holy land, and vote for one-state advocates. They are very much against Netanyahu’s actions toward the Palestinians, and his use of antisemitism as a defense, but are also very much against Hamas.
