Episode 6: Creating Hope with Maoz Inon
In this episode, we welcome Israeli peace activist Maoz Inon onto the podcast.
Maoz lost both his beautiful parents, Bilha and Yakovi Inon on October 7. They were two of the first people killed on that horrific day when a Hamas rocket landed directly on their house in Moshav Nativ Ha’asara. Since suffering the pain of their loss, Maoz has been campaigning against revenge and for reconciliation.
Maoz speaks about his life before the war as a successful entrepreneur and founder of the Abraham Hostel’s network and shares how he saw his whole life as preparation for what happed on October 7. Maoz now sees himself as a "naive man with a plan" which is one of the most powerful forces known to humanity.
