"I Lost My Parents on October 7th, But I Won Aziz."
Sunday, 26 April, 2026
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit peterbeinart.substack.comOur guests are Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon, co-authors of the new book, The Future is Peace. Aziz, a Palestinian born in the West Bank, saw his brother die from injuries sustained while held in an Israeli prison. Maoz, a Jewish Israeli born on a kibbutz near Gaza, lost both of his parents on October 7, 2023. Somehow, both men have turned their suffering into activism for justice and peace. We talk about their personal journeys, about the challenges of joint Jewish and Palestinian struggle and about how they maintain their faith in a better future in Palestine and Israel despite the horrors occurring there every day.Topics include…how grieving is different depending on one’s side of the power dynamicthe charge of normalization how to think about hatred as a response to traumathe willingness to speak with those who killed loved onesthe changes that must happen in the US
