Maoz Inon - Building Lasting Peace Post 07/10
In this transformative conversation on ROPESCAST, we welcome Israeli entrepreneur and peace activist Maoz Inon, whose personal journey exemplifies extraordinary resilience and vision in the face of tragedy.
On October 7, 2023, Maoz lost both of his parents in the Hamas terror attack, yet he has found the courage and forgiveness in his heart to continue advocating for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. His story is one of transforming personal grief into a catalyst for positive change and reconciliation.
Maoz shares his profound insights on peace-building, forgiveness, and how to create meaningful change even in the darkest times:
"Forgiveness is the key to redeem ourselves, to free ourselves from the destiny those who harmed us chose for us. They choose for us to hate each other, but many of us are choosing a different destiny based on reconciliation and healing and human values."
Perhaps most moving is his perspective on hope: "Hope is not something we can find and is not something we can lose - hope is an action. And the formula to create hope is also very simple. It's difficult to achieve but it's very simple to explain. We create hope by working together with others and envisioning a better future and acting to make it into a reality."
Join us for this deeply moving conversation that transcends politics and reminds us of our shared humanity and the power of choosing reconciliation over revenge.
