Two Peace Activists Join Hands to End War and Build Peace
Welcome to Democracy Now! – where we bring you news and stories that matter. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent address to the U.S. Congress has sparked debates and protests, but amidst the chaos, two peace activists, one Israeli and one Palestinian, stand united in their mission to end the war in Gaza and pave the way for lasting peace.
Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sarah have both experienced personal tragedies – Inon lost his parents in a Hamas attack while Abu Sarah’s brother died in an Israeli prison. Despite their painful pasts, they have come together to organize peace conferences, meet influential figures like Pope Francis, and advocate for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
In a recent event in Washington, they emphasized the urgent need for peace and condemned the ongoing violence. They believe that true peace can only be achieved through dialogue, understanding, and a commitment to equality and justice for all.
As they stand united, representing a growing peace movement in Israel and Palestine, they call for an end to the cycle of violence and urge the international community, including Americans, to join them in their quest for a better future.
Together, Inon and Abu Sarah’s message is clear – peace is possible, and it starts with us.
