THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

People have lost hope that peace is possible. Talking about peace seems too vulnerable, too naïve, too dangerous. We have resigned ourselves to this unending war as the only way forward. But we have tried this. We have tried war. The only war that is won is one that leads to peace.


On paper Aziz and Maoz should not be friends. Aziz’s brother was killed by Israeli forces, and Maoz lost both his parents in the 7 October 2023 attacks. In The Future is Peace, these two lifelong peace activists take readers on a searing journey to understand this holy, bloodstained land and explore each other’s personal and national histories.

Pairing unapologetic candour and inspirational prose, Abu Sarah and Inon are sending a message to humanity that the people have the power to make change. Peace is achievable, not just between Palestinians and Israelis, but throughout the world.

Kritikerstimmen

"The achievement of Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon’s short but immensely poignant account of a shared journey across Israel and the West Bank is that it remains true to the horror while refusing to be defeated by it. It is raw with pain and rage and yet bravely insistent on the imperative of hope . . . They have the courage to insist that human beings can and must listen to one another’s stories and recognize their own suffering within them. Their moving and fortifying book does not show us the way to the far side of revenge, but it does convince us that it must exist." (FINTAN O'TOOLE)
"In the face of the suffering of these two brothers and the suffering of these two nations, I have no words. They have had the courage to embrace each other. Let us pray for peace, and for these two brothers to bring the will to work for peace to their people" (HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS)
"Only knowledge and understanding can create reconciliation and peace. Leave it to Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon, who made this remarkable book together, and there could be and would be peace in the Holy Land. Let this book be read all over the world by young and old, Muslim and Jew and Christian alike, and hate will shrivel and die. Then and only then can the seeds of peace can be sown. How we all need that. And how we all need this book" (MICHAEL MORPUGO)
"Hopeful and inspirational, The Future is Peace is a walk through the land and history of Israel and Palestine that shows how two peace activists - an Israeli and a Palestinian - respect each other's narratives and dare to dream magically of peace amidst the reality of conflict" (SIMON SEBAG-MONTEFIORE)
"How can we forget the courageous embrace between Maoz Inon, an Israeli whose parents were killed by Hamas, and Aziz Abu Sarah, a Palestinian whose brother was killed by the Israeli army. They are now friends and work with one another. That gesture remains as a testimony and sign of hope" (POPE LEO XIV)
"Two courageous, beautiful human beings" (CHRIS ANDERSON, head of TED)
"Aziz Abu Sarah and Maoz Inon are not only brilliant guides to the tortured geography of the Holy Land. They are guides for how to retain our humanity, no matter how much pain we endure. They remind us that, despite oppression, violence and even genocide, Israeli Jews and Palestinians can live together equally, with justice, and in peace" (PETER BEINART, author of Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza)
"The Future is Peace is a remarkable book that brilliantly captures 'the inescapable network of mutuality,' accessed so powerfully by Martin Luther King. It's a passionate book, carefully constructed and heartbreakingly true. The message is both simple and immense: we are all helixed together by our humanity. As a guide to the torn heart, it also allows a vision of repair" (COLUM MCCANN)

I can hardly believe that there isn't a review yet for this wonderful and, above all, important audiobook. And even if someone isn't moved by the situation in Israel and Palestine: This audiobook is a guide out of the hell of mistrust and hatred that currently seems to be rampant in our world.

In “The Future is Peace,” Maoz Inon, who lost his parents in the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, and Aziz Abu Sarah, whose brother died as a result of torture in the Israeli prison system, take listeners on a journey in which the two share their shared story.

What is special about this audiobook is that Maoz and Aziz—as well as the many friends they mention—have not let their tears blind them to the suffering of the other side. On the contrary. They see very clearly that there is only one way out: peace.

Anyone who thinks this is naive should definitely listen to the book, because it makes it unmistakably clear that peace is not a cheesy utopia, but the foundation for further changes toward a different—and hopefully better—coexistence.

Throughout the audiobook, which is read alternately by Aziz Abu Sara and Magen Inon (Maoz’s brother), listeners travel from the places where the authors grew up to the hotspots in Israel and Palestine and learn not only about the history of the people and the places visited, but about perspectives for a shared future.

Neither Maoz nor Aziz shy away from clear language—as they say, there is “no censorship” in the audiobook and yet their attitude is always one of empathy and goodwill.

Or, as the two of them would say: If you must categorize us, then don’t divide us into Israelis and Palestinians, but rather into those who believe in peace—and those who do not yet ;-)

A must-read (listen)!
