It wasn't even something I had to think about.

Pope Francis told us when we met him that the only place that doesn't have disagreement and conflict is a cemetery.

It's the only place that doesn't have conflict.

There is no place in the world without some kind of conflict.

The humans will disagree.

It's about how we deal with that conflict.

And what we decided to do, we said, we're going to talk to each other, keep at it, even when we disagree, even when we don't see eye to eye, until we solve our disagreement or figure out a way to live with that disagreement.

I'll give you an example from my dad.

My father came to a peace, his first peace agreement.

He was a peace meeting.

He was very opposed to me going and meeting Israelis in the beginning.

Mainly he was afraid they're gonna put me in prison and the same thing that happened to my brother and to his cousin would happen to me.

And he came and after he heard a few minutes, he raised his hand and he goes, I have a question, this Holocaust thing,

you guys talk about.

I'm like, I was the chairman of that organization.

I'm going like, oh no, I'm getting fired.

And he goes, did it really happen?

And I'm already thinking I'm fired already.

But he asked that, or did the Israeli government use it for what it's doing to us?

And he goes on and on.
