We Are One, a reference to the motto popularized by Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) in support of unified American colonies, includes translations of the phrase in three languages spoken in the Middle East—Arabic, Hebrew, and English— to emphasize the importance of democratic principles to resolve Arab-Israeli conflicts and racial and religious discord in the United States.
