In an extremely extremely rare (in fact this is the only recoded time it has happened) occasion, the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel met with the Palestinian muslim head of Sharia Court, and their respective entourage, to discuss the war in Syria and made a united call for the end of religious wars. He went so far as to call the killings in Aleppo " a small Holocaust" ... anyone else who dares to make such a comparison would have been branded as belittling the Holocaust, jewish lives and anti-semitic. This call and meeting comes after thousands of Israelis gathered in several cities immediately after Yom Kippur to fast, prayer and reflect for peace in Syria. The motto: The world may be silent, but we will not. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.747467
Hats off to these fantastic people and the religious leaders. They are the only ones who have the guts to face this tragedy. Indeed the world is hiding behind silence ... and in doing so, is tacitly guilty.
