The Future Is Peace by Aziz Abu Sarah

The Future Is Peace by Aziz Abu Sarah

Two activists: one Palestinian, one Israeli. A unique friendship and a life-changing journey across the holy land

In the face of the suffering of these two brothers and the suffering of these two nations, I have no wordsThey have had the courage to embrace each other. Let us pray for peace, and for these two brothers to bring the will to work for peace to their people -- HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
Only knowledge and understanding can create reconciliation and peace. Leave it to Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon, who made this remarkable book together, and there could be and would be peace in the Holy Land. Let this book be read all over the world by young and old, Muslim and Jew and Christian alike, and hate will shrivel and die. Then and only then can the seeds of peace can be sown. How we all need that. And how we all need this book -- MICHAEL MORPUGO
Hopeful and inspirational, The Future is Peace is a walk through the land and history of Israel and Palestine that shows how two peace activists - an Israeli and a Palestinian - respect each other's narratives and dare to dream magically of peace amidst the reality of conflict -- SIMON SEBAG-MONTEFIORE
How can we forget the courageous embrace between Maoz Inon, an Israeli whose parents were killed by Hamas, and Aziz Abu Sarah, a Palestinian whose brother was killed by the Israeli army. They are now friends and work with one another. That gesture remains as a testimony and sign of hope -- POPE LEO XIV
Two courageous, beautiful human beings -- CHRIS ANDERSON, head of TED
Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon are not only brilliant guides to the tortured geography of the Holy Land. They are guides for how to retain our humanity, no matter how much pain we endure. They remind us that, despite oppression, violence and even genocide, Israeli Jews and Palestinians can live together equally, with justice, and in peace -- PETER BEINART, author of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza
The Future is Peace is a remarkable book that brilliantly captures 'the inescapable network of mutuality,' accessed so powerfully by Martin Luther King. It's a passionate book, carefully constructed and heartbreakingly true. The message is both simple and immense: we are all helixed together by our humanity. As a guide to the torn heart, it also allows a vision of repair -- COLUM MCCANN
Achingly tender, determinedly hopeful and fiercely brave, this is a book like no other. Maoz and Aziz show us through this part raw, painful and even sometimes humorous memoir, part deconstructed and clear geopolitical history lesson, part heartwarming manifesto what true courage looks like. They teach us that peace is not just an abstract idea but the only workable outcome to the heartbreak and hopelessness that has enveloped Israel and Palestine for decades. Aziz and Maoz's ability to see past the fear and pain and search for the humanity in the other is a radical kind of love we should all aspire to. These are the voices we need amplified around the world. These are my heroes. I encourage everyone to walk with this road to peace with Maoz and Aziz. -- TESS WOODS
An excellent book, written with the language of compassion, understanding and dreaming of a future where everyone lives in harmony with one another. -- Burhan Sonmez, President of PEN International
Maoz Inon and Aziz Abu Sarah have peace making in their DNA - we all need to be inoculated with this. -- Gabrielle Rifkind
