The Jewish people are promoting a project for the whole of humanity; a grandiose project that they have been carrying out for centuries against all odds: the establishment of universal peace on the face of the earth. The notion of “Peace” is at the very core of Judaism, and it is no coincidence that this word (shalom in Hebrew) appears so frequently in all the speeches of the Jews of the world. It is not just a religious concept, or a belief in the advent of a better world, God’s work in the distant future, but a guiding principle that determines the commitment and actions of Jews in their daily lives. Indeed, Jews, through their work, their actions and their involvement in politics, work every day to build “Peace”.
