The Arab-Israeli conflict has unfolded for over six decades amidst global wars, superpower rivalries, and economic, ethnic, and religious tensions. It has given rise to an enormous amount of written documents, primary sources, commentaries, analyses, propoganda and polemic.
This page has the very restricted purpose of collecting materials especially pertinent to interreligious relations dating from late 2009, with special attention to how events in the Middle East affect interreligious relations in North America. The posting of an item does not constitute endorsement by CCJR or Saint Joseph's University.
