"Poor Gentiles should be supported along with poor Jews;
The Gentile sick should be visited along with the Jewish sick;
and their dead should be buried along with the Jewish dead in order to further peaceful relations." -Gittin 61a
It is easy to be exclusive, to say that members of my club, tribe, organization, social class, faith, etc. are the only ones allowed here. That is the way of hatred. The path of peace is to admit that we are all creations of the same God.
