For Those Who Say All Palestinian Muslims Are the Same...

It broke my heart when I read the story of Dr. Ezzeeldeen Abu al-Aish, a Palestinian physician who is also a speaker of Hebrew and was trained in Israel. His practice includes both Palestinian and Israeli patients. Friday, his home was hit with an Israeli tank shell while he and nearly 20 members of his family were gathered there. Al-Aish lost 3 daughters and a niece. Two more of his daughters were wounded. Associated Press wrote that al-Aish is "a known peace activist who was involved in promoting joint Israeli-Palestinian projects, and an academic who studied the affects of war on Gazan and Israeli children."
Al-Aish has been Israeli Channel 10's source for keeping updated on the Palestinian suffering in Gaza. He has been keeping the station up to date with the latest news and numbers of casualties and dead.
Al-Aish expressed his grief and bewilderment to the media, saying, "Everyone knew we were home. Suddenly we were bombed. How can we talk to Olmert (Israeli Ehud Prime Minister)and Tzipi Livni (Israeli Foreign Minister) after this?" [...] "Suddenly, today when there was hope for a cease-fire, on the last day ... I was speaking with my children, suddenly they bombed us. The doctor who treats Israeli patients."
The two wounded daughters were taken across the border to an Israeli hospital, thanks to some strings pulled by the Israeli reporters at the station al-Aish has worked with. An Al-Jazeera news clip is posted below.
