Dear Dr. Yuval Noah Harari, I am Palestinian with many relatives in Gaza and you are one of my few intellectual heroes. I only wish that one day we will both live in peace and no force (from your side or mine) will ever stop us from reaching a point in which we can publicly meet and have a discussion over coffee without fear of either side. Just like you made up with the Germans, we urge you as a great thinker to find a way for us to live in peace. It is not wrong (even if you’re not a politician) to run for office and the day that people like yourself can run a unified country will be a dream for me. Please be always part of the hope that we all are looking for when it comes to peace and the idea of a unified state for both nations should not be something impossible or far fetched but it will set a huge example of tolerance to the entire world and could potentially end world violence for a very long time. No matter what your opinion is, my respect for you transcends all boundaries. I hope that you will read my message. G-d Bless You ❤

I am a Muslim and I endorse Yuval's message. Jews are our cousins and we should strive for peace through justice, not only through security. Innocents have died on both sides.

[franciscomachado]

Yuval always addresses a question and does not dodge it. He is one of the top minds today.

[sarahofer]

As ever, a clear view of history, a precise perpesctive on the present, and realistic expectations for the future. Prof. Harari is a national treasure and a humanistic voice for the world.

[mitalibaxi]

Such an important discussion! Thank you team for bringing this.

[giadaforneris]

I Am sharing this video with my four children 24 to 33 years old, really important and clear view of this murky present and future reality, thank you

[madhukhullar]

A sane voice which needs to be heard and spoken by all

[dennyworthington]

Love, support and respect for all human beings on both sides of this conflict. A truly heart-breaking situation for all fact, for the entire world.

[dimnsions]

Mr Harari, you really are a wise and human man. I needed these words more than I knew. Keep on telling your stories !✌️🙏

[ileanacrespo]

Muchas gracias por explicar todo de manera sencilla y que tiene lógica. Usted hace que yo entienda la humanidad de manera real. Un fuerte abrazo 🤗 desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.

[mamowoldeyes]

I am impressed by the comments which are hopes for peace

[danikay]

Thank you for sharing your wise counsel and insight on these matters. It's a very sad and complex human condition that causes these atrocities. 😔

[manmohanmehta]

Peace and understanding, ; and indeed compassion will help everyone. As a Hindu with huge background in Buddhism and Jainism I now think life in any form sacred.❤❤

[arnoldrouverand]

Excellent interview with relevant questions and inspiring responses 🙏

[Cocohunt]

Yuval yalda brother and sister of 2 different worlds at one place ❤

I am ALWAYS SO IMPRESSED by Yuval.... Sapiens is my Bible. If I ever got to meet him I would like to ask if he thinks that we humans will destroy ourselves before we figure out how to cooperate to avoid the existential dangers (climate, nuclear, AI, genetic engineering). I know he says there's always reason to hope because we can change the stories. And I know he says that it's difficult to predict the future. But.... with all of his insights and meditation on these topics, I would just like to know his gut feeling. I think his answer would influence how I guide (not scare) my own children. I'm thinking that no matter what endeavor you go into (science, business, art, etc), perhaps the ability to find and work towards cooperation (on many levels) may be more important than we realize. Instead of expecting our governments to be the force of cooperation.... maybe we need to understand and promote the importance of cooperation.

[ShaileshSahasrabuddhe]

As always, his thoughts are thought provoking (stimulating) in a good way. I wish more and more people listen to him.

[mitalibaxi]

Yuval has the cosmic intelligence. He is peace in himself.

[colonol]

Just read comments under this interview in original Sky news channel 🤔 Very interesting in terms of general mindset and attitude

[saulhendrix]

What a great idea to write this kind of book!
