Welcome to the Forbidden Conversations podcasts, which provides a nuanced and civil approach to difficult subjects. My guest today is Mo Ghaoui, a Palestinian-Lebanese refugee turned American who has spent 25 years in the tech sector, including some involvement with the more shadowy aspects of the political world. Despite his professional background, he remains committed to resolving the right of return dilemma and actively opposes the communication ban with Israelis, advocating for open dialogue to foster better relationships and understanding. Mo's voice is one that is often omitted from the spotlight when it comes to navigating the conflict in the Middle East, but is critical to include in the discourse. Not only do we tackle the Gaza/Israel conflict, but we unexpectedly get into the weeds of Islam and the interpretation of the Quran.
