Israel-Palestine Crisis: Activists share a vision for peace

Through unimaginable loss, they forged an unlikely friendship and began a shared mission to push for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.

For nearly a century, Palestinians and Israelis have lived in a perpetual war marked by violence, grief, and competing claims over land, security, and national identity. Now, two peace activists are working to end that cycle. Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon call themselves peacebuilders. Both have experienced pain and heartbreak, first hand.

Through unimaginable loss, they forged an unlikely friendship and began a shared mission to push for peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. Aziz's 19-year-old brother, Tayseer Abu Sarah, was beaten and tortured in an Israeli military prison and died from his injuries a few weeks after his release in 1990.

Maoz's parents, Yakovi and Bilha Inon, were both killed when Hamas fighters attacked them in their home on October 7th, 2023. Together, they've written a book called “The Future is Peace: A Shared Journey Across the Holy Land.”
