Looking to the Future: Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sarah on a Post-October-7th World
Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon feel the loss and pain of October 7th and the carnage in Gaza that has followed especially keenly: both have lost family to the conflict.
Since October 7th, the two have appeared on various international forums regarding their partnership in establishing peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Most recently, they traveled together to Verona, Italy to meet Pope Francis and share their vision for the future: one where Israelis and Palestinians can move forward and live side by side.
Aziz Abu Sarah is a Palestinian peacebuilder, entrepreneur, and international speaker. He is the co-founder of InterAct International and MEJDI Tours, and the former executive director of the Center for World Religions, Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University.
Maoz Inon is an Israeli social entrepreneur and peace activist. He has founded several tourism initiatives in Israel and in the Middle East, including the Fauzi Azar Inn and Abraham Hostel and Tour brands.

Reading Between the Headlines- with Anat Saragusti

“The media” has come to mean many different things- broadcasters, social media, a euphemistic descriptor for spreaders of misinformation, or simply the news. But in the haze of war in Gaza and protests in the U.S., the media has itself become a source of polarization and debate. To analyze why coverage seems to slant one way or another politically, how nationalism and government disinformation ...

      Why all these people who come from America and have no knowledge, respect for Arab culture or mentality put words in the mouth of Palestinians. The Palestinians always tell the truth as it is. We refuse to listen to that they say. When Palestinians say that Jews have no place between the river and the sea, they mean it. Why can't you respected what they say and treat them as natives who don't know what is good for them? I refer you to the writing of Professor Edward Saíd the number one Palestinian expert on Orientalism. This man tells the bitter truth: We don't want you here! Go away!

    I suggest Mr. Friedman to write about the 2.5 to 3 million people who died (in excess) from 1991 to 2001 in Russia. He can also chose to write about the 3 to 7 million who died in all the former soviet republics. This is the second time I'm hearing Mr. Friedman and he seems to be a positive force. I should say, though, that he is an American - and probably someone whose earnings put him on the top 10% and therefore he has no contact with real life like everybody on that tier.

Holocaust was not planed by Palestinians against Jews, but Nakba was executed by zionist Jews (Israelis) against Palestinians but they are denying it. - they both want all yeah, but one side got already almost all and continuously keeps grabbing more and it's not because of the extremists that they can stop at any time but there is a consensus about expansion in Israel and such policies never stopped under all Israeli left, center or right wing leaders.
