As a devout Muslim, his talk is called, “Faith, Action and Hope: I Shall not Hate.” Dr. Abuelaish believes that Palestinians and Israelis are like “conjoined twins.” He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize four times and is often referred to as the Martin Luther King, Jr., the Matatma Gandhi and the Nelson Mandela of the Middle East.
