This article surprised me in many ways. Studying with both Jews and Arabs, being Jewish myself... there is often a silence between us regarding these issues. Aziz`s voice and what is said here is not one to be taken lightly. It is a voice that helps me turn away from the cynicism I am often overcome by. While I have often been shocked and outraged by the blind hatered depicted within Arab communities, it is not dissimilar to the often quieter hatred whispered within the Jewish. I wish for us all to learn a lesson from this article! What we practice ourselves and preach to our children will be the legacy we leave. I hope this can become our legacy. |
