They may have been. They live in Lebanon, when they're not being contested by settlers or occupied they're usually trying to maintain their claim to sovereignty same as anyone. It would unfortunately not surprise me to hear if they were threatened throughout October. Regarding being an American citizen, I feel pretty proud that our government is taking a skeptical approach to Netanyahu's leadership. It just pains me that I'm indirectly supporting the same people that are effectively displacing half my family. I do engage with US politics, I don't see the value in petty protests of democracy though.
