In the final hours of the Gaza war, Israeli tank shells slammed into Doctor Abuelaishs home killing half of his family. His tragic phone call to Channel 10 Israel has become a symbol of the war worldwide.
Izzeldin Abuelaish is a Palestinian doctor, working at hospitals in Gaza and Israel. During the Israeli attacks he was providing regular phone updates to Israeli television on life in Gaza. Dr Abuelaish was suppose to give us an interview that day, tells Channel 10 Israel presenter Oshrat Kotler. But nothing prepared them for the phone call they received. Viewers were transfixed as presenter Shlomi Eldar held up a phone live on air for 5 minutes listening to the outpouring of grief. My God! What have we done to them? Abuelaishs niece and three of his daughters had just been killed. I wanted to try and save them but they died from head wounds immediately. This broadcast delivered something Israelis hadnt experienced before, a real account of life in Gaza under Israeli attack.

How i see if nazi did simillar thing to jews why jews do it to palestinians I just want opinions I am not disturbing anybody. May gad have peace on you
Hamas deliberately fired rockets on Israel from densely populated areas, which is totally forbidden by the Geneva Convention, and used the palestinian population as human shields, knowing well they will be killed in the legitimate and just israeli response. And at that time the Hamas leaders and their families were hiding in the bunker under the Shifa hospital.
I wonder if Hamas 'doctors' would treat Israeli children they delibetry target to kill, every rocket! it's a tragic story he is a good man, hamas are cowards hiding behind their people...

Doctor Abuelaish has become one of my greatest personal heroes. We must never forget this man--and must never forget his daughters.
Sincerely,
An ethnically Jewish woman living in the U.S.A.
