Official Statement
Though the political solution in Israel and Palestine is multifaceted and complex, steeped with daunting historical and
religious context, Tolerance of Belief asserts that amidst the terrorist attacks, sanctioned military offenses, and potential
truces, it is necessary for peace-minded people from all sides of the conflict to stand up and declare that all humans are God’s
children and every single human soul, however defined, whether it be Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, etc, is
sacred. Violence from either side of the conflict only perpetuates and deepens the divide.
Tolerance of Belief is the acknowledgment that, though such a small region, the significance of the situation in the Middle
East cannot be underestimated. The daily events there affect the entire globe more dramatically than any other region in
the world. This art exhibition aims to remind us that the heart of the Middle Eastern solution - and any reconciliation
whether global or individual - is tolerance and respect from both sides of the conflict. And, ultimately, although no political
agreement is ever perfect or any reconciliation pact flawless, the peaceful coexistence with people of other faiths and
beliefs is one of the highest aspirations that a single human or an entire nation can strive towards.
