Context Matters

The Future is Peace

Episode Summary

In Part 2 of the conversation with Maoz Inon, an Israeli born and raised on a kibbutz, and Aziz Abu Sarah, a Palestinian who grew up in Bethany near Jerusalem. We talk through the necessary skills of being a Peacemaker and then discuss their New York Time's bestselling book: The Future is Peace.

Episode Notes

In this second part of the conversation, Maoz and Aziz go deeper into what it means to have productive conversations with people who have different perspectives from your own. They discuss why empathy doesn't make you weaker, how vulnerability became the heartbeat of their viral TED Talk, and the writing journey behind their New York Times bestseller The Future Is Peace. They also shine a light on the broader peace movement — the coalitions, organizations, and individuals on the ground who are doing the hard, often invisible work of peacemaking in Israel and Palestine.
