Q:I am from Israel and I have a Palestinian boyfriend, but both our families are against our marriage. Is it right for us to keep pursuing marriage or should we abandon our love to satisfy our parents?

A: If you pursue it and your parents forbid it, they will disown you, or you pursue it and they eventually get over it. Another option, don't pursue it and move on. Discuss converting religions. It can break the barrier between your parents and him. My suggestion to you is to sit down and have a conversation with your parents. Try to get both families together for dinner in public. Try to get your points across. Best of luck!
