I promise you, today’s episode won’t be heavy nor loaded. Today’s episode is an authentic conversation between a Jewish-Israeli activist and a Palestinian woman. Today I talk with Miko Peled about his personal journey, about justice and about peace.
Miko Peled is a Jewish Israeli-American Author and Human Rights Activist.
He grew up in a very patriotic Israeli household and a prominent Zionist family. His grandfather signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence, his father served as an Israeli General in the Six-Day War of 1967 and Miko himself was in Israel’s Special Forces after high school. The death of his 13 years old niece in a suicide attack in Jerusalem led him to take a journey into Palestine. A journey that he says made him see the occupation, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and vicious apartheid regime Palestinians have been subjected to. And made him realize that he and his family played a role in this. Today, he travels the world to speak of a vision of a just peace with a single democracy with equal rights for all who live in historic Palestine.
For you my listeners and watchers, I added timestamps to both audio and video version with descriptive titles to jump between chapters, and I included helpful links of Miko Peled’s work as a speaker and an author as well as all other books, authors and historians he mentions this episode. So go ahead and dig in for more knowledge and awareness.
