“I’m glad that joining programs like this can happen. It shows that the war is there and not here,” Ben Mazur, a sophomore in statistics and Jewish student, said. “There is no reason for any American Jew, American Muslim or Arab to have any quarrels with each other.”

Tom Stern, coordinating member of Jews for A Just Peace-NC, said citizens in the Triangle need to work together as a community and work for humanitarian aid to help create peace for the Lebanese, Israelis and Palestinians.
“This coalition is here to help with the humanitarian crisis in Lebanon, support a real, lasting, and just peace between the Israelis, Palestinians, and Lebanese and we oppose further military actions in that area,” he said.
