Chapter 2, Part 3, "Brit Shalom" by Rabbi Oury Cherki

Therefore, Noahides should not be burdened with statements like, “this graft is forbidden,” or, “according to Jewish law, this is theft.” Instead, there exists human reasoning and legislation that does not have to match Jewish law.

On the contrary, it is content with the role of shining forth rather than dominating.

Introduction, Part V, "Brit Shalom" by Rabbi Oury Cherki

The supreme moral ideal is "righteousness and justice," as the Book of Genesis states. The practical realization of this unity is evident both in the wars of the State of Israel (despite all the accusations against it) and in the political and social fabric. In a country characterized by fair treatment of a hostile minority within it, we have succeeded in uniting mercy with justice.
