Milwaukeeans of Jewish and Palestinian heritage are spending their days in turmoil as they watch violence raging in the Middle East, in many cases endangering family and friends. Both groups speak of the situation with deep emotion and, at times, strong rhetoric. The one bit of common ground: concern for people caught in the worst violence in the area since 2014. The latest round of fighting began after weeks of rising tension over the threatened eviction of dozens of Palestinian families from east Jerusalem by Jewish settlers. It culminated with clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a flashpoint site sacred to Jews and Muslims.
