This article explores the differing perspectives within a Jewish American family regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Emanuelle Sippy, a college student, believes that Israel is an apartheid state guilty of human rights abuses, while her father, a Reform rabbi, and her grandmother, who lived in Jerusalem during the Yom Kippur War, have more positive views of Israel. The family engages in passionate debates about the conflict, but their shared values of social justice and human rights prevent their disagreements from tearing them apart. The article also highlights the generational divide among American Jews in their connection to Israel. [Extracted from the article]
