From New York, this is Democracy Now.

I call for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts including Lebanon. Let us pray for the

Lebanese especially for the people in the South who are forced to leave

their villages.

Pope Francis calls for immediate cease-fires in Lebanon and Gaza as Israel intensifies its attacks

while vigils are being held across Israel to mark the first anniversary of the October 7th

attack.

We'll speak to Ma'ozenon, an Israeli peace activist whose parents who's

and October 7.

I happened to my parents in October 7th.

Some nights I cried throughout the night.

If somebody kills your brother,

you want to hurt whoever hurts your family.

Every relationship that I will be able to build with Palestinians,

it's very meaningful.

It didn't matter to me that his parents were Jewish. Those who were killed were my people too.

We'll also speak to Palestinian peace activists Aziz Abu-Sara.

Ma Oz and Aziz recently met with the Pope,

as well as US Congress members

as they tore the world calling for a ceasefire

and an end to the occupation and war.

They're featured in the new documentary The Path Forward.
