A Palestinian and an Israeli, Face to Face | Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon

A Palestinian and an Israeli, Face to Face | Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon | TED

16 днів тому

How can Israelis and Palestinians achieve peace? Palestinian peacemaker Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli peacemaker Maoz Inon discuss the immeasurable tragedies they've experienced growing up in the region - and how they choose reconciliation over revenge, again and again. With a fierce belief in a better future, they talk about conflict, safety, finding shared values and how they're building a coalition of Israeli and Palestinian citizens who are intent on creating a path to hope and peace.

This may sound semantic but it is a incredibly necessary distinction. Compromise will get us nowhere because there is a vastly negative zone of potential agreement, the two sides are way to far apart. However i believe collaboration is possible if started from the Palestinian side and by starting with agreed upon structures that punish competing behaviour from either side.

This is what the world needs. Not warmongers, Not fanatics, Not fundamentalists! This is what these two sides need Israeli-Palestinian. These two men should lead, these two men who strive for peace. These two men who have lost so much, but still try so hard to find a path of tolerance. These two men are the epitome of what the world Needs now!!!

You do need both sides to want peace, forcing it is impossible... when you have terrorists like Hamas, and when 70% of Palestinians support Hamas (so polls tell), how can you make it peace? Its nothing but a wet dream unfortunately, they will never change, they live in an extremely toxic society, where if you talk about peace it endangers your family (arabs who condemned Hamas acts on 7th of October told while interviewed, that their family gets death threats from other arabs). Where if you are a girl and you come home "too late" your brothers will literally hit you to death (they really killed her). This is the sad truth about most arabs in Israel...

@@dpboy8315 There is a difference between a palestinian state and the Ottoman empire. You are mixing things up and is not a good start for talking peace. Yes, they use to get along and yes, the Ottoman empire was good for jews if you compared to other situations, like the inquisition in Spain. The Ottoman empire does not exist for more than 100 years. Jews also ruled there for a long time, and I am not talking religion here, although it played a very important role in the 3 religions. So, where do you draw the line? 100 years? 900 years? 2000 years. Jews always sang about the return to Jerusalem. Not for 1 year, not for 100 years but for 3000 years. If the conflict was easy to solve, it would be solved by now. I do respect this two gentelmen for there effort and I hope their wishes come thrue. Is not gonna be easy and I believe that religion should left aside. No chosen people, no muhamad's teachings on the table in this case. Just to think with love and respect, searching for real peace. Not easy though.

@@dpboy8315 That's just completely detached from actual history. Muslims colonized the land, destroyed synagogues and Jewish temples, and many Muslim and Ottomans rulers oppressed them. Under the rule of Islam Jews had no rights and had to pay the Jizya. Jews and Arabs did not live in peace in Israel in many occasions throughout history - For instance: The looting of Safed, the Hebron Massacre, the Palestine riots, etc... In addition, Jews were persecuted and ethnically cleansed in a series of pogroms and government sanctions in most Muslim countries in the 20th century, especially in Iraq following the Farhud Pogrom in the 40s. Unfortunately, history does not change according to different narratives. From the Dawn of Islam, Jews were massacred by Muslims, which are not even native to the land.

@ayman.hak1mi 9 днів тому

This conversation is extremely dangerous. Palestinian people deserve the right to self-determination, the right for refugees to return, the end to the seize of Palestinian land and settlements, the end of the horrible siege and blockade on Gaza and the intentional starvation, the end to the constant mowing the lawn campaigns, the intentional targeting of civilians including my, at the time, 12 year old friend in Jerusalem. The only sympathy the Palestinian people ever get is that of them being the "perfect victims". Do you only have solidarity with Palestinians if they allow themselves to be brutalized by the occupation without ever being able to resist or fight back? Are you in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle, or merely a sympathetic witness to their brutalization and slaughter? People can dilly dally and try to spread fake sympathies but that will never move us forward. Real justice is a requirement. We must reject conditional solidarity. We reject those who want us to make our rhetoric and suffering more palatable to feel better about themselves.

Meanwhile, millions of Palestinian Arabs live in Israel as equal citizens and civil rights are respected. Until West Bank/Gaza become de-radicalized, this talk will stay just that - a talk.

@@eng_MJ Jews are NATIVE to Israel / Palestine. They were displaced from the Romans in 70 CE. They dispersed all around the world in the diaspora. Ashkenazi Jews were in Eastern Europe. Sephardic Jews were initially in Spain and Portugal until they were kicked out in 1492. Mizrahi Jews lived in the Middle East for thousands of years (Yemen, Egypt, Iraq, etc). If you dig in the land of Israel, you will find Jewish artifacts. The Ashkenazi Jews were killed in the Holocaust because they were NOT European. They have a legitimate right and claim to that land.

Two really lovely, wonderful souls in dialogue, and it would be my prayer that they and people like them take leadership roles among their peoples. However, with that said, it is my experience hearing from Israelis and Palestinians first-hand that these wise and reasonable people are outliers in their communities. This might have been a more impactful conversation to me with representatives who acknowledged not just anger and hurt - but their own reluctance to engage and distrust of the other - and how they were working to get over those hurdles. These two professing love for each other is wonderful, but I think it somewhat whitewashes the problem.

@worldwithoutwar8622 12 днів тому

Totally agree, Pal, but this is just a start - thin edge of a wedge towards peace. In serious conflict resolution you have to get together the people who are NOT motivated towards peace, and see if they can be transformed through dialogue, engagement, etc. There is an awesome story about a black guy in the American south who listened to Ku Klux Klan members, and one by one managed to transform about 100 of them from their extreme racism.

It's now worse than it was, not getting better.

I am deeply moved by this, particularly that hope is an ACTION, and that if division must be seen, it is between those who believe in constructing a better and peaceful future for all versus those who cannot (yet) see this as a possible reality. Aziz, Maoz- I pray, hope, and beg anyone who listens to you to believe in this message. This is what the world needs, and it is NOT exclusive to Israel/Palestine. This is human nature. Hatred is a strong emotion, and stronger yet when we are see and feeling ourselves and our families oppressed and hurt. But we can overcome this part of human nature. We can belive in a better tomorrow. We can believe in peace through discussion, learning, analysis, understanding. From the bottom of my heart, continue forward, and Godspeed.

“I love you. And it brings me to the most important lessons I’ve learned: That hope is an action. It’s not something you find It’s not something you can lose It’s something you are making. And I came up with a simple formula, a recipe, “how to make hope” First, like love you cannot do it by yourself, You are doing it with others. And we are starting by envisioning a better future. And then we are acting to make this future into a reality. It’s act, we must act. And through the process we always need to convince first ourselves, and all our coalition and everyone who is willing to listen, that our actions are effective. And I believe if we will be brave enough and brilliant enough, we can make this future into a reality. In the new future that by 2030 or before there’s going to be peace between the river and the sea.” 🙌🏼
