Now Pharaoh Knows: A Scriptural Framework for Peace between Palestine and Israel

A Scriptural Framework that informs and justifies, as the Constitution of Medina did, "sincere friendship (nas’h wa-nasiha) and honorable dealing" between Israel and Palestine."I have read your document and enjoyed your approach as it takes into consideration the priorities of our doctrines rather than any emotional or political agenda. It can inspire a new way for meetings, dialogue and cooperation among Jews, Christians and Muslims. It can also provide food for side events after the UAE-Israel agreement and engage influential scholars to advise policies between Palestinians and Israelis."The reference to a honest, traditional and comparative interpretation of our Scriptural sources is a very important point in order to find together solutions to implement brotherhood and citizenship.” Imam Yahya Sergio Yahe Pallavicini, President, CO.RE.IS. (Comunità Religiosa Islamica) Italiana

“Ignorance creates a breeding ground for misunderstanding, misrepresentation and bigotry, all too easily manipulated by partisan political interests. The more we know one another and each other’s religious texts and teachings, the more we are able to promote mutual respect and peaceful relations in our world. This is especially the case in relations between Islam and Judaism. Daniel Gruber’s important work addresses the focus of political tensions that exist in modern times between the Jewish and Muslim worlds. This is done in a scholarly manner designed to increase mutual knowledge and understanding. As a result it is a notable contribution to advancing such mutual respect and peace in our world.” Rabbi David Rosen, KSG, CBE, International Director of Inter-religious Affairs for the American Jewish Committee
