Two years ago we carried a piece about Dr Izzeldin Abuelaish, who lost three daughters and a niece in an Israeli shelling. The Telegraph has an extract from his book “I Will Not Hate” [Amazon]. Go and read it.
As I wrote at the time:
Like Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish we should not forget the real prize of peace in our desire to justify the actions of “our side”. In the long term, peace is the way forward. That may or may not involve Hamas, but in the wake of this war it should be the objective of true friends of both Israel and the Palestinian people. Dr Abuelaish can do it; so should we all.
