Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish | I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor’s Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity
Recorded 3/3/2011
Listen to MP3 audio
Born and raised in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian doctor who worked in Israeli hospitals as an obstetrician and gynecologist specializing in infertility. In January 2009, three of his daughters and a niece were killed by Israel Defense Forces at his home in Gaza. Dr. Abuelaish's heartbreaking response to the incident was captured live on Israeli television and broadcast across the country and beyond. Despite his tragic loss, Dr. Abuelaish has become an inspiring advocate for peace for people of many faiths. As a monument to the lives of his daughters, he created Daughters for Life, a foundation dedicated to providing education and health services to women and girls throughout the Middle East.
Introduced by Susan Abulhawa, author of Mornings in Jenin.
