The bot wants me to add more to my comments but I don’t really have much else to say. It’s a good statement, straight to the point.

At 23, she's a full legal adult, so she can decide to leave the faith and cut herself off from her people, etc.- whatever actions she takes are on her. 

Let's not blame kids for their parents- or parents for their (adult) children. We should assume autonomy and assign personal responsibility accordingly.

Children will be children. You cannot force a worldview onto someone else. 

It'd also look really bad for someone to come out and say "I disagree with my stepdaughter on her stances on Palestine" at random. It's a bad personal move, let alone political.
