Description Concering Books I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity

By turns inspiring and heart-breaking, hopeful and horrifying, I Shall Not Hate is Izzeldin Abuelaish's account of an extraordinary life. A Harvard-trained Palestinian doctor who was born and raised in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip and "who has devoted his life to medicine and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians" (New York Times), Abuelaish has been crossing the lines in the sand that divide Israelis and Palestinians for most of his life - as a physician who treats patients on both sides of the line, as a humanitarian who sees the need for improved health and education for women as the way forward in the Middle East. And, most recently, as the father whose daughters were killed by Israeli soldiers on January 16, 2009, during Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip. 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 in 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."

Critique Regarding Books I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity

Although this was a very difficult story to read-painful, gut-wrenching and heartbreaking-I am so glad I read it. We need to know this story, which is tragically a story shared by many. The marvel is that is is also a story of forgiveness and hope.

It's hard to believe that the author lost three daughters and a niece to an Israeli tank shell during the Gaza War and emerged from this disaster preaching forgiveness. Israel and Palestine need more people like Izzeldin Abuelaish to help them move beyond the vicious circle of hate, violence, and revenge that has been blocking attempts at civilized co-existence for generations. At this point, the so-called leaders need to step aside and give the people on both sides a chance to come together and

I am glad that I had a chance to read this book, but honestly, I did not like the author and his attitudes. I found him too selfish, a bit unreliable, and politically ignorant and even maybe too rational, and unfortunately, this rationality highly affected his judgments and opinions. I think he could not grasp Gazan's long-term feelings of being oppressed, thus could not interpret their reactions fairly. I am not only talking about his views about Gaza, but see the way he treated his wife, who

No words can describe the horrific events this man had to endure and witness. Yet to come out of it all with hope, compassion and understanding for the future of the Palestinians and Israelis is just inspiring. Izzeldin is a remarkable man. Highly recommend it

I normally don't like giving books 5 stars unless they've resonated with me months after I've finished them, or if the ending is particularly impressive. In this case, I knew what the book would be about and I already knew how it would end. But knowing that didn't affect my appreciation of this book.Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish is such an inspiring person who had to endure a tough childhood growing up in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. He had to work endless hours as a child to earn every

This book is so powerful because of Dr. Abueliash's determination not to hate Israelis, despite the death of his daughters and his constant struggles. It's definitely an eye opener to what life in Gaza is like.

I stayed up till 3:30 am reading this book, tears soaking my pillow. I was watching live on Israeli tv when he was interviewed as half his family was wiped out in an accidental mistargeting of a missile from an Israeli tank in the Gaza war of 2008-2009. It was blood-curdling and something I won't forget. This man has every reason to hate Israelis but doesn't due to his own strong, unshakeable convictions. He is inspiring not only for his belief in peace no matter what happens but his tenacity in
