| May 16, 2021

In the mixed Arab and Jewish city of Acre, the holiday festival of Eid al-Fitr that marks the end of Ramadan would normally see families mingling freely and taking their children to fairs and on boat rides along the coast. But fear and mistrust pervaded the Israeli port's nearly deserted centre on Thursday, as one resident issued a warning not to speak Hebrew in the old part of the city and a second demanded to see a third's identity papers. Often held up as an example of Arabs and Jews living alongside each other in relative calm, Acre is an ancient city on the Mediterranean coast with two other names - Akko in Hebrew, and Akka in Arabic.

Dont just tweak antisemitic in style guides call it what it is: anti-Jewish – The Boston Globe

| May 16, 2021

A thank you to Jeff Jacoby for describing the origins of the term antisemitism and how it became anti-Semitism when it entered the English lexicon, creating the implication that Semite denotes a race rather than a linguistic family which, interestingly, includes Hebrew and Arabic (Canceling anti-Semitism, Ideas, May 9) No Jew would think to call himself or herself a Semite.

Heres a joke about the upcoming Jewish holiday of Shavuot: During one of his trials with the Israelites, Moses asks God to give him a sign that all these trials are worth it. So, God grants Moses a vision of the future: It's a place of huge houses and green lawns and bright lights and in house after house there is a lamp stand like the menorah in the desert tabernacle. Moses asks: What IS this place and what ARE those things?

We are family: Jewish and Arab medical staff respond to ethnic tensions – The Jerusalem Post

| May 16, 2021

As corona raged all over Israel, the stories of Arab doctors or nurses helping Jewish patients to say Shema Yisrael or the prayers that accompany the departure of a soul offered a ray of hope in a bleak time.Just a few weeks after the country appeared to have left the pandemic behind, medical staff have been watching with concern and sadness the violence and riots flaming up in many mixed cities, but also vouching that tensions will not affect their ability to work in harmony.From all over Israel, doctors and nurses offered testimony that coexistence is possible, and asked Israeli society at large to learn from what happens in hospitals, such as the need to avoid talking about politics, or that some doctors were not ready to speak publicly about the topic for fear of backlash in their communities.Between 20% and 25% of our 5,000 employees are Arab, which is about the same rate of Arab patients we have, said Prof. Jonathan Halevy, co-director of Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem. I believe that our multi-ethnic, multi-cultural group well represents our multi-ethnic multi-cultural city.Shaare Zedek began operations 119 years ago
