Navigating the Israeli Generational Divide in Jewish American Families
Jewish American families are grappling with a generational divide over the Israel-Hamas war, as younger generations, particularly Gen Z and young Millennials, view Israel as an occupying power oppressing Palestinians, while their parents and grandparents see it as a necessary haven fighting for survival. The divide is causing painful chasms within families, with younger generations more likely to view Israel as a great military power and an occupying force, while older generations believe in Israel's right to defend itself and its survival. The war has intensified tensions and sparked difficult conversations within Jewish American families, highlighting the changing attitudes towards Israel among younger generations.
