A Jew and a Muslim douse Dutch fires - Amsterdam mayor, councillor defuse anti-Islam hysteria:
Cohen put his mediating skills to reducing tensions between Jews and Muslims as well. Noting that “there’s a lot of anger against Israel” over its treatment of Palestinians, he tried to separate that sentiment from anti-Semitism.
When kippa-wearing Jews complained that they were being harassed by “some people, especially people of Moroccan background, though those were not the only ones doing it,” he brought the two sides together. The Moroccans said they faced discrimination all the time. That proved “an eye-opener.” The two sides realized that “`we both belong to the group that’s discriminated against. How can we do things together?’”
