Aziz Abu Sarah is a peace builder, cultural educator, entrepreneur, author and international speaker. He’s also a Palestinian man who lost his brother to the Israeli soldiers and who is currently working with his Israeli partner, Maoz Inon, to imagine a new vision for both Palestinians and Israelis.  If there is only one episode you will tune in to this season, let it be this one, because it will give you an idea of how to talk to people who don’t have the same views as you when it comes to Palestine - Israel, one of the most important issues and injustices of our time. Aziz is a National Geographic Explorer and a TED Fellow who co-founded Mejdi Tours, a travel company that takes people to places like Palestine/Israel, Northern Ireland, and South Africa and presents multiple narratives about those places. His recent efforts with Maoz Inon include a Ted talk titled A Palestinian And Israeli, Face To Face, and meeting Pope Francis in time for the G7 Summit.  What you’ll learn in this episode: What it's like to meet with Pope FrancisHow Aziz stays engaged in the face of pain and lossA Palestinian and an Israeli joining forcesAziz tells the story of losing his brother and becoming a peacemakerWhat it's like living under the Israeli apartheid structureWhat Aziz wants people to see when they see PalestiniansThe power of poetry in Palestinian cultureMejdi Tours and the Dual Narrative methodSeeing beyond tourism stereotypes in EgyptThe asymmetry between Palestine and IsraelThe crux of Aziz's peacemaking approachMoving beyond pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli labelsFighting fear with hopeWhat the peacemaking vision in Palestine and Israel looks likeHow you can get involved in the peacemaking processWhy Aziz thinks hope is an action Featured on the show:Learn more about Aziz on his website Read Aziz's Ted Ideas story, How I Learned to Forgive My Brother’s MurderersCheck out the Ted Talk by Aziz and Maoz, A Palestinian And An Israeli, Face To FaceRead Al Jazeera op-ed by Aziz and Maoz, When It Comes to Israel-Palestine, True Naivety Is Believing in Endless WarLearn more about Mejdi ToursLearn more about Land For AllGet involved at InterActLearn more about the Palestinian poet Samih al-QasimFollow Aziz Abu Sarah on InstagramFollow Maoz Inon on InstagramCheck out Aziz's book, Crossing Boundaries: A Traveler's Guide to World Peace Get more information at: Going Places
