Description:
"I met Dr. Abuelaish just a few days after the loss of his three daughters... We faced each other as we were about to shake hands. And then, without much thought, we held each other in a warm embrace...It is so rare, I thought, in this debilitating and devastating area we inhabit, to meet a person like him, ... a man who despite his own losses...continues his belief in humanity and its potential for good, despite all...Through his eyes I could see another way, a way the two nations could treat each other. A way that could extract what is good, special, and humane in both of them. I could see an alternative that could light up the great similarity of both peoples, one that gets denied and put down time and time again. This option, now so scorned and held in such contempt, suddenly sprang to life, embodied in the man I was watching."---David Grossman "In this book, Dr. Abuclaish has expressed a remarkable commitment to forgiveness and reconciliation that describes the foundation for a permanent peace in the Holy Land."--- President Jimmy Carter The extraordinary, riveting story of a `palestinian doctor who, rather than seek revenge after witnessing his three daughters' deaths by israeli tank shells, continues his call for the people of the region to come together in understanding, respect, and peace. Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish---now known simply as the "Gaza doctor"---captured hearts and headlines around the world in the aftermath of horrific tragedy: On January 16, 2009, Israeli shells hit his home in the Gaza Strip, killing three of his daughters and his niece. By turns inspiring and heartbreaking, hopeful and horrifying, I Shall Not Hate is Abuelaish's account of an extraordinary life. A Palestinian doctor with a degree from Harvard who was born and raised in a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Abuelaish has been crossing the lines in the sand that divide Israelis and Palestinians for most of his life---as a physician treating patients on both sides of the line; as a humanitarian who sees improved health and education for women as the way forward in the Middle East; and, most recently, as a father whose daughters were killed by Israeli soldiers. His response to this tragedy made news and won him humanitarian awards around the world. Instead of seeking revenge or sinking into hatred, Abuelaish called for the people of the region to start talking to each other. His deepest hope is that his daughters will be "the last sacrifice on the road to peace between Palestinians and Israelis."
