SUMMARY:Aziz Abu Sarah & Maoz Inon - The Future is Peace
DESCRIPTION:Two lifelong peace activists and guides to Israel/Palestine\, both of whom have lost family in the conflict\, take readers on a revealing life-changing journey across this holy\, bloodstained land and discover the mythic\, political\, and personal history that divides but also binds them and their peoples. \nIn The Future Is Peace\, Sarah and Inon take readers on a transformative weeklong journey across a sacred and bloodstained land. Facing competing narratives\, they explore how compassion and unity can pull humanity back from the precipice of blind hatred. Throughout their travels\, they have been constantly asked: In the face of so much loss\, how can we ever find hope? Their answer is always the same. One cannot find hope. We must create it. \n \nAziz Abu Sarah is Co-CEO of InterAct International\, a nonprofit dedicated to Middle East Peace. He is a peacebuilder\, entrepreneur\, National Geographic Explorer\, TED Fellow\, and renowned speaker and trainer on conflict resolution and responsible travel.
