Aziz Abu Sarah: “Palestinians and Israelis can be partners in liberation” | The InnerView

Aziz Abu Sarah’s brother was killed by Israeli forces for allegedly throwing stones, yet he tells Imran Garda that Israelis are not his enemies. A Palestinian peacemaker and activist, Abu Sarah has witnessed firsthand the violence in occupied East Jerusalem and endured profound personal loss. But instead of succumbing to anger and the desire for revenge, he chose a path of reconciliation—working alongside Israelis to challenge the occupation and build a future rooted in peace. Is the approach naive, or brave? On this episode of The InnerView, Abu Sarah shares how his experiences in conflict zones like Rwanda have shaped his approach to peacemaking, what leaders like Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir fear the most, and why he believes that standing hand in hand with Israeli partners forces the international community to listen.
