The AbuRakia-Einhorns are Jewish, Muslim, American, Palestinian citizens of Israel living in the United States. At the beginning of this week, previous Unsettled guest Becca AbuRakia-Einhorn faced painful questions about how to raise young kids who could be subjected to discrimination for being who they are, as the violence in Israel-Palestine continues. Then, on Tuesday October 24th, her husband Waseem received a note under his office door at American University with the words "death to all Palestinians," among other hateful rhetoric. In this episode, we hear Becca's thoughts from the beginning of this week, when she reflects on her family and how she met her husband, to the terrifying moment when she read the note targeting her husband.
