I Shall Not Hate: A Message from the Scorched Earth

From the mouth of a doctor who lost three daughters in the bombing of Gaza, the words “heart” and “love” take on a different weight than they do in our everyday lives. Palestinian doctor and writer Izzeldin Abuelaish, author of the world-famous book I Shall Not Hate, transformed personal pain into a message of humanity and the courage to love even where hatred reigns. How can love, understood as an action rather than a feeling, transform a world that we saw falling apart in real time, amid the immeasurable suffering of the civilian population? Izzedin Abuelaish offers a perspective on how to overcome the political and power interests that drive wars.
