Description
Summary:The speaker asserts that in order to have peace the majority must not abuse its power. He says that the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians corrupts Israelis as much as it persecutes Palestinians. Israeli Jews need a theological survival that stresses repentance and concern for one's neighbors, Muslims need to work out the relation of their faith to 20th century scientific discoveries and social customs, and Christians need to consider all measures to influence Israeli policies away from a course that cannot be morally supported.
