What a heartbreaking yet inspiringly hopeful story. Dr. Abuelaish has been through so much and despite all the hardship and pain he remains an optimist. His hopes for the future are almost utopian, especially in the light of recent events. I cannot believe that the world has failed the Palestinian people so hard, it makes me angry and ashamed.
As a feminist, I really admire Dr. Abuelaish’ view on women and how they are the possible solution to the conflict. I hope others pick up on this and we can see some change in the culture and an end to the violence.
“It’s easy to find a thousand men in favour of war. It’s difficult to find five women who are inclined that way.”
“There is evidence beyond any doubt that investing in women and girls is the way out of poverty and conflict.”
This book made me cry multiple times. It’s utterly devastating. I listened to the audiobook while driving and almost had to stop on the side of the highway. I was crying so much I couldn’t see properly.
“I want to fly, daddy.”
Peace for all and free Palestine
