President Obama/ Marrakech Conference on Reliogious Minorities: means cultivating a habit of empathy
On Wednesday, US President Barack Obama hailed the Marrakech Conference in a speech in Washington D.C. at the Embassy of Israel, during the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust’s “Righteous Among Nations Award Ceremony.”
“In Morocco, leaders from Muslim-majority countries around the world just held a summit on protecting religious minorities, including Jews and Christians,” Obama said.
President Obama asked everyone to speak out and stand firm against evil that seeks to divide us based on our religious preference and to learn from our shared past and reject indifference.
“It means cultivating a habit of empathy, and recognizing ourselves in one another; to make common cause with the outsider, the minority, whether that minority is Christian or Jew, whether it is Hindu or Muslim, or a nonbeliever; whether that minority is native born or immigrant; whether they’re Israeli or Palestinian,” he added.
