I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity by Izzeldin Abuelaish

4.0

Dr Abuelaish's story forces us to examine our dualistic and generalized thinking. If this man who lost so much to the Israeli apartheid state can find love in his heart for what he calls his Israeli cousins, how can any of us hold hatred? Throughout the book, I was shocked time and time again at his dedication to choose light in moments of darkness. Moments that I know for certain I would not have had the strength of will to shine even marginally as bright as he did. I can’t yet understand it, but maybe someday I will.
