One of two subplots of the movie is an allegory on the identity crisis of American Jewish people. While their hearts beat in line with Israel, yet American Jews also identify themselves more with the American values. This movie came out after highly sensational Palestinian resistance movements in the occupied territories when the different approaches between the American Jews and the Israeli Jews became more visible. So, this subplot actually describes the values of an ordinary American Jew who wants to fight against anti-semitism and proudly displays his/her Jewishness, but doesn't want to go against the rule of law and has to learn Hebrew. And unfortunately, he fails to be a part of both groups in the end.
