Returning From Israel, Young Moroccans Hope to ‚Change Minds‘ Back Home | Algemeiner.com

Thirty-year-old Oumaima Mhijir from Morocco took her 6-month-old daughter Amber with her to visit Israel for the first time this month, despite the objections of her family back home.
“My brothers really didn’t want me to come to Israel, because they thought that there was a war here and that we were going to be attacked or killed,” Mhijir told The Algemeiner by phone, while on a bus touring around central Israel. “I, personally, and my family have certain conceptions about the state of Israel, so I had a very intrigued feeling before coming.”
