3/ “The Future Is Peace” a video worth watching “We don’t have to be on opposite sides. We can be on the same side, fighting for justice together, fighting for peace together.” Peace activists and authors of “The Future Is Peace,” Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon sit down with Jon Stewart to share their inspirational story of family loss and choosing reconciliation over revenge in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Through honest dialogue, visits to Holocaust and Palestinian sites, and confronting painful stories, they spread the message of how empathy can break cycles of violence and war. They also challenge the idea that empathy is naive and share what it was like meeting Pope Francis.
