The stance of Mohammed VI makes me proud. I am a Jew of Moroccan heritage. I have always insisted that Morocco can and will continue to play a vital role in enhancing tolerance between religions and civilizations, as well as promoting Middle East peace. I wish the King well in this righteous endeavour. And hope that the message spreads throughout the Arab and Muslim worlds. For peace to come, we must acknowledge the deep suffering of the other, yesterday and today.
