The Discovery Lecture Series presents
Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish
Author of I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey
Thursday, September 20, 2012
7:30pm in PE250 (First Choice Savings Centre, U of L campus)
Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish - now known simply as "the Gaza doctor" - captured hearts and headlines around the world in the aftermath of horrific tragedy: on January 16, 2009, Israeli shells hit his home in the Gaza Strip, killing three of his daughters and a niece. But it was Abuelaish's response to the loss of his children that made news and won him humanitarian awards around the world. Instead of seeking revenge or sinking into hatred, in this personal account of his life, Izzeldin Abuelaish is calling for the people of the Middle East 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.
