Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish in Ottawa
March 05, 2011
Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, is a Palestinian medical doctor and infertility specialist who has dedicated his life to peace in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Born and raised in the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Abuelaish has overcome many personal hardships, including poverty and violence, to become one of the most outspoken, prominent and beloved researchers, educators and public speakers on peace and development in the Middle East. His personal doctrine is that hate is not a response to war. Rather open communication, understanding and compassion are the tools to bridge the divide between Israeli and Palestinian interests.
Author of "I Shall Not Hate", Dr. Abuelaish will be speaking at the Ottawa Public Library Saturday, March 5th. During the last Gaza assault, Dr. Abuelaish lost three daughters and a niece, killed by Israeli forces.
