Miko Peled is the author of ‘The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine’ (2012), a seminal work that chronicles his professional evolution from an early Zionist upbringing to a critical stance on Israeli policies. Prior to his career as an author and activist, Peled built a significant martial arts practice, achieving a sixth-degree black belt in karate. He owned and operated Martial Arts America in Coronado, California, from May 28, 1989, a highly respected institution dedicated to teaching leadership skills and non-violent conflict resolution. He sold Martial Arts America in October 2012 to fully devote his efforts to human rights advocacy and writing.
His ongoing work with the Elbanna-Peled Foundation and the Palestine House of Freedom reflects his unwavering dedication to fostering peace and equality.
