One Love

The Children of Adam are limbs of each other
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If thou hast no sympathy for the troubles of others
Thou art unworthy to be called by the name of a man.

-Sa’adi

As an Iranian American with many close Jewish friends, I could not be more proud to see our own people perpetuating such an advancement towards peace, unity, and amity.

I hope that our efforts will serve as a model for our neighboring Middle Eastern countries, governments and for the rest of the world.

Just because our governments have deep struggles toward each other, doesn’t mean that our people have to hate one another. We’re all human the end, and sometimes our leaders need to be reminded of that.

Much love to Israel and Iran from Washington D.C.,
