ISRAEL, Ben-Ami Shillony

YOU ARE WORKING FOR THE NOBLE GOAL OF BRINGING JEWS AND MUSLIMS
TOGETHER. LET ME TELL YOU THAT IN MY OPINION YOU ARE DOING THE MOST IM-
PORTANT THING THAT CAN BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

Y ou are working for the noble goal of bringing Jews and

Muslims together. Let me tell you that in my opinion you are
doing the most important thing that can be done at this time.
These two religions, Islam and Judaism, are religions of peace and

love, and they have co-existed peacefully for many centuries. In the
twentieth century, they both adopted political goals, as the Arabs and the
Jews achieved political statehood in their ancient homelands in the
Middle East. Unfortunately, since their establishments, the Arab states
and Israel have been entangled in a tragic and bloody quarrel, with each

side claiming that God is exclusively on its side, and each side being to-
tally blind towards the aspirations, rights
and sensitivities of the other side.

The time has arrived for intellectual
leaders from both religious communities to
meet each other in an atmosphere of peace
and resolve the bitter Middle East conflict.
They should proclaim that God wants His

believers to love and respect each other
and never to kill each other. I am glad
that this initative is coming from Turkey,

the country which had once ruled the
whole Middle East peacefully and tol-
erantly. I wish you much success.
