After October 7 and the war in Gaza, the world’s discourse became more polarized than ever. But amid the devastation, Maoz Inon—an Israeli peace activist who lost his parents in the Hamas attack—and Aziz Abu Sarah—a Palestinian activist who lost his brother to the conflict—are refusing to let violence define the future.
In this episode, we talk about grief, identity, and what it really takes to break the cycle of hate. How do you push for peace when everything around you is telling you it’s impossible?
