Maoz Inon

But I want to add some weight to the trip you take.

You have both been touched by the tragedies in Israel and Palestine.

I'll start with you, Aziz.

This is Tayseer.

And, Noz, tragedy hit you more recently.

Yeah.

My parents, Billy and Jacobi, were among the first victims of the Hamas attack.

The last time I spoke with them was Saturday morning, 7.45 a.m.

I was speaking to my father.

They were in the safe room.

They lived only 200 meters in Moshe Avneti Vassara, an Israeli community, the closest Israeli community to the Gaza border on the north side.

And I told my dad that I love him.

I could hear my mom in the background.

They told me that there is a war around them, that they can hear the shooting, the missiles, the sirens.

So I told dad, OK, I'll call you soon.

And five minutes after, I called them, and there was no answer.

And later in the afternoon, we got the news that their house was burned to ashes with them inside.

And on that day, I lost many of my childhood friends, people I knew my entire life.

And first thing, Sunday morning, we started the shiva, the seven day of mourning for the Jewish people.

And on the second day, we were sitting together, me, my three sisters, and my young brother.
