Conflict breeds stereotypes, which in turn feed fear and hatred, dehumanizing both individuals and entire cultures.

On the other hand, human relationships and cultural familiarity breed empathy and compassion — leading toward a desire for peace, justice, and equality for others as well as yourself.

In the writings presented here, individual human beings share their thoughts and experiences, and respond to different aspects of the current conflict. There are publications in support of those working between the religions, and for activists working politically.
