And, most recently, as the father whose daughters were killed by Israeli soldiers on January 16, 2009, during Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip. His response to this tragedy made news and won him humanitarian awards around the world. <p/>Instead of seeking revenge or sinking into hatred, Abuelaish called for the people in the region 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>One of the most affecting [books] I have read on the subject of Israel and Palestine....His story is important not only for its message of peace, but for the fact that it personalizes the Palestinian experience. -- <i>Globe and Mail</i><i> (Toronto)</i> <p/>Scrupulously honest... heartfelt, moving and beautifully written in a distinctive voice.... what is most remarkable is that [Abuelaish] is able to convey not only a baseline faith in the human spirit, but hope for the future. -- <i>Dallas Morning News</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Izzeldin Abuelaish</b>, MD, MPH is a three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee, and is often referred to as "the Gaza Doctor" in the media.
