Miko Peled was born in Jerusalem in 1961 into a well-known Zionist family. His maternal grandfather signed the Israeli Declaration of Independence. His father, Matti Peled, fought in the 1948 war, and was a general in 1967 during the Six Day War when Israel conquered Gaza, the Golan Heights, the Sinai, and the West Bank. Later, General Peled became a peace activist, a leading proponent of an Israeli dialogue with the PLO. Following the death of his niece Smadar, 12, in a suicide attack in Jerusalem in 1997, Miko began to devote himself to a life of pro-peace activism. He is the author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine and authors a blog (mikopeled.com) dedicated to creating peace between Israelis and Palestinians, to tearing down Israel’s separation wall, and advocating equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. He is an accomplished public speaker who has lectured at universities in the United States and elsewhere and has appeared on numerous radio talk shows.
