Criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza is one thing. But anti-Semitism is quite another. Keep it away. Far, far away. At a crowded Muslim-American event I attended Sunday in North Jersey, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, spoke about a range of issues. The audience, many of whom have supported Ellison since he was first elected in 2006, cheered many of his comments, but the biggest applause line came when Ellison said: “There’s absolutely no place for anti-Semitism in discussing Israeli policy.” And that reaction is not atypical in my experience.
While the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants remains unresolved, a rabbi in Jerusalem says his hope for the region lies in the ability of Jews, Christians and Muslims to sincerely live out the humanistic values common to their respective faiths. “The hope that I see is in human beings… Jews, Christians, Muslims, offering sympathy and condolences, based on the humanistic values in our religions that we all share,” said Rabbi Ron Kronish. “That’s something we can all do and it’s important to do, even as the conflict goes on, to retain somehow our humanity, our religious sense of value for human life, despite the ongoing war.” Rabbi Kronish is a co-founder and the current director of the Jerusalem-based Interfaith Coordinating Council in Israel (ICCI).

ONTARIO — CTV News of Southwestern Ontario named Mennonites and Muslims “Local Heroes” on Feb. 15. CTV News found these “behind the scenes” people, according to the news report, through the MennoMedia documentary, Waging Peace: Muslim and Christian Alternatives. Part of the documentary was shot in part in Waterloo, Ontario. In addition to interviews with Mennonite and Muslim leaders, the news report video shows Mennonites and Muslims kneeling to pray.

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee — On July 22, 76 people died in a bombing in Oslo and an attack on a Labor Party summer camp on the island of Utoya in Norway. The Guardian labeled the event “one of the worst atrocities in recent European history.” The Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik stands accused of both attacks, and yes, he admitted committing both crimes while also labeling them “atrocious” and “necessary.” Though media speculation suggested early on that the bombing in Oslo was an act of Muslim terrorism,
