Attorney Zion Amir opened up in an interview with Omri Asenheim about the political divide within his family, particularly with his two daughters whom he describes as "Kaplanists." Amir shared that his daughters often challenge his views, especially regarding the Israeli judiciary system. He recounted a recent argument where he criticized Kaplan's approach as a form of anarchy, only to receive a photo from his daughters wrapped in Israeli flags with the message, "Greetings from your anarchists," signaling their disagreement.

Amir expressed discomfort in publicly criticizing the judiciary around his daughters, saying he thinks "a thousand times" before doing so because he is mindful of their opinions. He referenced advice from a respected figure who said he would never do anything he would be ashamed to reveal to his children, a principle Amir follows closely.

When asked if political debates occur at home, Amir stated he has stopped engaging in such discussions, feeling disheartened that he cannot influence anyone's views, not even within his own family. This interview aired on Channel 13 and highlighted the personal impact of broader societal divisions in Israel.
