it's a marriage between two Muslims.

Oh well. No wedding cake for the party crashers.

The ones arrested think she's an apostate not a Muslim.

Glad that Rivlin has condemned it, but the extremists in Israel need to be reined in, imo.

Soon after that, my English father left the British navy, and my parents had decided to emigrate from the U.K. My mother is a Jew, and they were seriously considering going to Israel. They decided not to, for two basic reasons. They did not want to go to a war zone; and since my father was a gentile, they were not sure how their marriage would be received in Israel.

They went to Canada, and when I was six, they came to the U.S.

I think the issue in this case is that she converted to Islam.

Interesting history on your family. Thanks for sharing it.

That and the fact that Israel was a war zone in the middle of 1948.

I'm sure it is a fascinating place, but it really isn't that high on my list. The conflict just seems never-ending.
