from Conversations with Ricardo Karam · host Conversations with Ricardo Karam

Send us Fan MailIn this conversation, Ricardo Karam meets Munib Al-Masri, a man whose life story mirrors a century of Palestinian history.From his childhood in Nablus, where he first heard of the Balfour Declaration, to his youth spent studying geology and politics in the United States, and his return home determined to make knowledge and success serve identity rather than exile. Munib Al-Masri is a businessman who viewed wealth as a responsibility, not a privilege, building institutions, universities, and a national economy rooted in dignity and belonging.He speaks about his deep friendship with Yasser Arafat, about leadership and sacrifice, about wars, displacement, and endless political deals and about Palestine, which he calls his only party and eternal cause. Today, in what he describes as a “war of extermination,” he shares his legacy with the younger generation, calling for faith, resilience, and rebuilding rather than despair.Join Ricardo Karam and Munib Al-Masri in an honest and inspiring exchange that captures the journey of a man who carried Palestine in his heart and through his life leaving us with one lasting truth: A nation never dies as long as it keeps telling its story.في هذا الحديث، يلتقي ريكاردو كرم برجلٍ تختصر سيرته قرنًاً من حكاية فلسطين … منيب المصري، الذي عاش وطنه بكل أسمائه وحدوده وأحلامه.من طفولةٍ في نابلس سمع خلالها عن وعد بلفور، إلى شبابٍ قضاه في المنفى والدراسة بين الجيولوجيا والسياسة في الولايات المتحدة، ثم عودةٍ جعلت من العلم والعمل وسيلتين لخدمة الهوية لا للهجرة عنها. منيب المصري، رجل الأعمال الذي رأى في الثروة واجباً وطنياً، بنى المؤسسات والجامعات، وغرس فكرة أنّ النجاح الحقيقي هو ما يُترك "لهم" لا "لك".يتحدث عن صداقته العميقة بياسر عرفات، عن معنى القيادة والتضحية، عن الحروب والنزوح والصفقات، وعن فلسطين التي بقيت حزبه الوحيد رغم تبدّل الخرائط. وفي زمنٍ يسميه "حرب إبادة"، يوجّه وصاياه إلى الشباب، داعياً إلى الإيمان والعمل والتمسّك بالجذور مهما اشتدّ العصف.انضمّوا إلى ريكاردو كرم ومنيب المصري في حوارٍ صادق ومُلهم يوثّق رحلة رجلٍ حمل فلسطين في قلبه، وسار بها على دروب القرن، ليقول في النهاية: "لا يموت وطنٌ ما دام يحكي."
