Guest Rabbi Morris Zimbalist in dailyherald: Words of peace, cooperation must have more power than actions of war in Mideast.
Ignorance and disengagement breed intolerance, misunderstandings and violence. Innocent Israelis, innocent Palestinians and other innocent citizens living within the greater Middle East need and deserve peace. However, the politicalization of Israel, its enemies and its allies has caused misrepresentations of the terms used to describe the situation and increased senseless hatred, violence and loss of life.
To better understand the current situation in Israel and the region, clarification is needed for some misunderstood or misrepresented words. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is a militant Palestinian organization that began in the early 1980s with support from Iran -- the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service Jews engage in a very similar process beginning on Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur and continue by regular study of holy texts that emphasize self-improvement, ritual and discipline, partnership with God and the recognition that all people are created in God's image.
The tinder that sparked the most recent attacks between Israelis and PIJ militants stems from the death of Khader Adnan, who was arrested and died in Israeli custody. Adnan, who had been arrested multiple times by both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority , died after an 87-day self-imposed hunger strike -- a peaceful protest he had used in previous incarcerations, but this time led to his death.
I love Israel and always will. I do not always love the Israeli government and denounce the bad actors in the current Netanyahu coalition government. I treasure my Muslim friends who, like me, believe that there must be a Palestinian state. But violence and terrorism, particularly from those in leadership positions, will never result in mutual understandings and desires for peace from Israelis or Palestinians.
