The "forced conversion" didn't bother me all that much, it could be said this was just something they decided to agree to in order to live and be free again.
However...that bit about making sure this didn't scare off other reporters to the Gaza area because "the Palestinians are a beautiful people whose story needs to be told"....I found reprehensible. At that moment, my sympathy for these two dissolved. Now I question where and with who their true sympathies and loyalties lie.
I am all for telling their side of it and reporting from Palestine but the "beautiful people "part was a bit too lick spittle for me. Still I am glad they are back.
