Two talented young men were caught in a vortex of intifadas and racial conflict, with tragic consequences that spilled into family life.While enrolled at university after serving with distinction in the Israeli army, one of these young men discovered, and the media amplified, that his biological parents were in - and of - the currently hostile Palestinian community. Acceptance of him by some in his community where he was raised started to fray; the result of extreme interpretations of religious texts.His life became unbearable as a cadre of fanatics branded him as a security risk which caused him to emigrate to Brooklyn where he found a new life and romance. Concurrent with the discovery of his real parents, is a mirrored event in the Palestinian community where the child he was switched with at birth is dangerously exposed to be of Jewish origin by headline seeking media.
