Source: "As a bereaved brother, whose older sibling died after a year-long imprisonment in an Israeli jail, [Abu Sarah's] own journey from stone-throwing youth and Fatah organizer to conflict resolution worker and alternative tour organizer is about as drastic a transformation as one can find in the Middle East."

Source: For peace activist, "Aziz abu Sarah, a Palestinian peace activist, joins us." "Vortex: Walking Jerusalem", National Geographic; For patriot and nationalist, "Then along came Aziz Abu Sarah, a young Palestinian patriot and nationalist from Jerusalem and a group of young Palestinian nationalists who say: Al Quds is ours, we will no longer accept the status quo of losing our rights in Jerusalem. We will no longer agree to the demolition of our homes, the need to beg to have our streets clean, our schools modern enough to meet 21st century needs. We are going to stand up and non-violently take what is ours." "Encountering Peace: Why I Support a Palestinian List in Jerusalem", The Jerusalem Post
