Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish's remarkable story of forgiveness.




Allan Gregg in Conversation (Video) show

Summary: Palestinian doctor Izzeldin Abuelaish is the author of "I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey". Dr. Abuelish has every right to hate; in 2009, during the Gazi war, the Israeli Defence Force bombed his house; killing three of his daughters and a niece. Remarkably, Dr. Izzeldin resolved not to hate the Israelis but to try to do something positive so that the sacrifice of his daughters would not be in vain. Hate, he believes, is the strongest weapon of mass destruction. Since that time, he has dedicated his life to bringing peace to the Arab/Israeli conflict. Dr. Abuelaish now lives and works in Toronto.
