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

by Izzeldin Abuelaish

Description

Born in Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, a Palestinian physician recounts the experiences that shaped his life, medical career, and commitment to human dignity amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Working in hospitals on both sides of the border, he becomes a rare bridge between communities, advocating for healthcare, education, and dialogue—especially for women and children. After an unimaginable family tragedy, he confronts grief without surrendering to hatred, offering instead a powerful appeal for compassion, reconciliation, and peace. This deeply personal memoir is both an account of life under conflict and a testament to the possibility of hope across seemingly insurmountable divides.
