  "account": "In Nahariya, George Joubran's family lives a life of multiple identities. Their home features Christian saints, Maronite clergy photos, the Last Supper painting, and a Lebanese flag. Surprisingly, among these objects, they also have Rabbi Nachman of Breslov's teachings. This reflects the family's dual heritage as Lebanese, Israeli Christians, and deeply rooted in Jewish society. Sonia Joubran, the eldest daughter, is a chair of the student union at Kiryat Shmona University. She believes that peace is achievable and dreams of becoming Israel's ambassador to Lebanon. Sonia and her sisters, born in Israel, have never visited their family's homeland. George, 58, runs a company that employs Jordanian workers in Israel, spending most of his time in Eilat. His mother, Adeline, 48, is a medical secretary in Nahariya and grew up in Beirut. Adeline and George met at Kibbutz Shomrat, where Sonia was born. When Adeline was 12, her family moved to Burj al-Muluk, a village near Jezzine, which was controlled by an SLA battalion that cooperated with Israel. In 2000, the IDF withdrew from Lebanon, and Adeline and her family fled to Israel, leaving their home behind. Sonia experienced social ostracism in elementary school for being the only SLA child in her class. She also faced difficulties during her national service and studies in Tbilisi, Georgia, due to hostility towards Israel.",
