The operation claimed more than 1,400 Palestinian lives, many of them civilians, including three of Abuelaish’s daughters and a niece. More than eight years after Israeli tank fire sundered his family forever, a Palestinian medical doctor now living in Toronto will finally have his day in court. Abuelaish’s frantic pleas for help were broadcast live on Israeli TV and soon went global via various Internet websites. Following his daughters’ deaths, Abuelaish wrote a book about his life and his family’s losses entitled I Shall Not Hate. Meanwhile, Abuelaish has set up a foundation in memory of his daughters and niece, called Daughters for Life.
