Description
People have lost hope that peace is possible. Talking about peace seems too vulnerable, too naïve, too dangerous. We have resigned ourselves to this unending war as the only way forward. But we have tried this. We have tried war. The only war that is won is one that leads to peace.
On paper, Aziz and Maoz should not be friends. Aziz's brother was killed by Israeli forces, and Maoz lost both his parents in the 7 October 2023 attacks. In The Future Is Peace, these two lifelong peace activists take readers on a searing journey to understand this holy, bloodstained land and explore each other's personal and national histories.
Pairing unapologetic candour and inspirational prose, Abu Sarah and Inon are sending a message to humanity that the people have the power to make change. Peace is achievable, not just between Palestinians and Israelis, but throughout the world.
