Expressions of Acceptance: Against the Odds, Muslims and Jews Find and Explore Their Common Humanity

It’s easy to conclude that the enmity between Muslims and Jews is intractable and probably will exist forever. The five videos linked below belie that conclusion. They may represent only a small fraction of interactions between the two religious groups, but they are real and meaningful and inspiring. There is hope!
 
Quote: “We are different and you should get over with it — there will be people whom you can never agree with. That does not mean, however, that you cannot accept them for who they are, cannot live side by side with them, share their pain and joy, earn their trust and benevolence, and ultimately, lean on their shoulders for support and believe they shall be there whenever you are in need.” — Tamuna Tsertsvadze, Galaxy Pirates
