There are many different reasons behind the recent flare up of violence between Gaza and Israel. But the most recent spike in violence followed the killing of three Israeli teenagers and a Palestinian teen in the West Bank. I wanted to understand how the families most directly impacted by those murders think about what's taking place so I went and met with Suha Abu Khdeir, the mother of 16 year old Mohammed Abu Khdeir and with Yishai Fraenkel the uncle of Naftali Fraenkel. Here is what both sides told me.
