A Call for Unity



                 large enough for all these peoples to live together in peace
                 and harmony. For this reason, Israel must withdraw from all
                 of the territories that it has occupied since 1967, recognize an
                 independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza,
                 and make peace with the Palestinians as well as the Arab
                 world by entering a friendly and constructive dialogue with
                 them.
                      In addition, it is very important that religious Jews fol-

                 low Allah's advice and invite all Jews to abide by the moral
                 conduct ordained by Him.
                       As with Christians and Jews, Allah has commanded the
                 Jews to defend justice, honesty and the rights of the innocent,
                 and to live by peace and love. Therefore, certain elements of
                 radical Jewish fanaticism contradict other passages from the
                 Torah, such as: Who stops his ears against plots of murder and

                 shuts his eyes against contemplating evil (Isaiah, 33: 15). It must
                 not be forgotten that no ideology that sanctions violence and
                 aggression, and disrupts law and order, can succeed.
                 Violence always brings only loss. Preventing such destruc-
                 tiveness necessitates the exposure of the fanatics' deceptions
                 and errors, which also will prevent their influence over any
                 other people as well as help them to see reason.
                      Jews who genuinely believe in Allah must abide by the
                 Torah's true principles and advocate for peace in order to pre-

                 vent others from embracing radicalism. Some of the Torah
                 passages that recommend peace, love, compassion, and
                 virtue are as follows:
