John Aziz is a British-Palestinian peace activist. Aziz is a humanist who advocates for a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, and ultimately a two-state solution. He also condemns Palestinian political violence, believing it hurts the cause of Palestinian self-determination, and promotes dialogue and compromise as tools to resolution.[1][2][3][4]

Early life
Aziz's father, one of 10 children, was from a rural West Bank village. He later was able to study in the United States for his doctorate, where he met Aziz's mother, who is English. Aziz was born in the United Kingdom[5] and grew up in England, spending the summers in California with his father's Palestinian relatives.[2]
Aziz was raised anti-Zionist, but began to look up to "peaceful humanists" as he grew older, including Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.[2]
