We sometimes get sidetracked by saying that we believe in this or that. But the truth is that there is a universal sense of justice, and that the notion of justice is spelled out in all our Holy Books, and in our own minds with respect to what makes sense. We may choose to deviate, once in a while, from what makes sense, and from what is just, but the idea of justice is still out there, reminding us of where we went wrong, and where we need to go to find justice once again.The sense of displacement that you talk about is not new to Jews, and not new to many ethnic minorities around the world. It is easy to kick a man when he's down, and it is equally easy for a political regime to use and abuse its minorities for the sake of political gain. And it is up to good people such as yourself, to point out where we went wrong, and what we have to do to make things right once again, and we thank you for that.

The rights to live, find your rights and receive the justice you deserve is every man’s rights, by holy laws and human laws…
