It ▁is ▁evident ▁that ▁the ▁facing ▁up ▁to ▁and ▁resolution ▁of ▁these ▁conflicts ▁depends ▁primarily ▁on ▁mut ual ▁understanding ▁and ▁a ▁spirit ▁of ▁toler ance , ▁both ▁of ▁which ▁are ▁promoted ▁by ▁education . ▁This ▁is ▁why ▁I ▁enthus iast ically ▁support ▁the ▁launch ▁of ▁the ▁M J ES . ▁It ▁is ▁particularly ▁prom ising ▁that ▁the ▁home ▁of ▁this ▁journal ▁is ▁Mal ta , ▁that ▁fert ile ▁cross ro ads ▁in ▁the ▁region ." ▁ ▁S ources ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁University ▁of ▁Mal ta : ▁M J ES ▁ ▁M J ES ▁at ▁WorldCat ▁ ▁Category : E ducation ▁journ als ▁Category : Med iter rane an ▁Category
