October 7, 2023 will go down in history as a dark day for the Jewish people. More than 1,400 Jews were murdered in cold blood. The dead included hundreds of civilians: women, men, children, babies and the elderly, with more than 260 alone killed at an outdoor music festival a few miles from the Gaza Strip. At least 200 hostages were captured and are being held in Gaza. In response, Israel has launched an unprecedented and devastating military campaign designed to remove from power Hamas, an organization whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel and Holy War against the Jewish people. All of this has happened in the context of more than 60 years of violence, with two peoples fighting for legitimacy and land. On this episode Peace Tribe Rising host Matt Lakenbach is joined by our newest cohost and fellow Middle East Peace Civic Forum director and peacemaker Jess Bryan.

Join Majid and Matt for a fascinating and inspiring conversation about peacemaking, including the power of music and the arts to soften perceptions and create openings for dialogue. Majid also shares about the calling to speak out for peace in a world that often suppresses those voices. Says Majid, "Many people would like to speak out but they fear being ostracized by their own family, their own tribe. But the world is hurting. There are too many conflicts in this world, and some of us are called to make the world whole. And to me that calling is much stronger than my fear of being ostracized. And I've been called out, been put on websites, blacklisted, because I've promised steps toward s understanding the another, steps toward resolving conflict, steps toward compromise, rather than beating that drum of demonizing the other, which I refuse to do. It takes courage. Each person has to decide for themselves if they want to be a change agent or if they want to be satisfied with the status quo. I'm not satisfied with the status quo."
