I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey by Izzeldin Abuelaish

5.0

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about this book, but I wanted to learn more about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Izzeldin Abuelaish is a terrific writer, who captures his surroundings well such clarity that you can almost visualize being there. He explains the situation in such an objective manner than it seems like it was written by someone who cares equally about both sides, rather than someone who could ever live as one and have something so terrible to him happen by the other side. He also never presents anger or hate to anyone, just sorrow and hope. I think he is a great example of what we should aspire to be as human as well as presenting what we should hope will one day be reality between Israelis and Palestinians.
