In this powerful and timely episode, Tony Robbins sits down with Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan, two extraordinary men who have transformed their unimaginable grief into a mission for peace.
Two fathers, one Israeli, the other Palestinian, whose daughters were killed in separate incidents in the conflict. Despite their devastating losses, they have dedicated their lives to fostering dialogue and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.
Bassam Aramin is a Palestinian peace activist whose 10-year-old daughter, Abir, was tragically killed by a rubber bullet fired by an Israeli border police officer in 2007. Despite this heart-wrenching loss, Bassam has devoted his life to fostering dialogue and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. He is a co-founder of Combatants for Peace, an organization that brings together former Israeli and Palestinian combatants to work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Rami Elhanan is an Israeli peace activist who lost his 14-year-old daughter, Smadar, in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem in 1997. Following this devastating event, Rami joined the Parents Circle-Families Forum, an organization of bereaved families from both sides of the conflict dedicated to promoting reconciliation and non-violence. Rami’s work highlights the human cost of the conflict and the urgent need for peace.
With the world facing increasing divisions and conflicts, their stories remind us of the importance of coming together under the greater good of peace and love. Their willingness to look beyond their own pain and work together for a better future serves as a profound example of the strength of the human spirit.
