Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, a Palestinian obstetrician who lost three of his daughters to an Israeli shell during Israel's military operation in Gaza last January, has become - for Israelis and Palestinians alike - an icon of hope for peace and reconciliation. A longtime peace activist, who has spoken out against violence, Dr. Abuelaish believes that peace-seeking Israelis and Palestinians ought to work together to steer their leaders toward peace. In a three-week U.S. tour, partly sponsored by Americans for Peace Now, he is asking Americans to do their part by pushing their government to take an active role in Middle East peacemaking.
