Palestinian Doctor Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
--------------------------------------------------



A Palestinian doctor who lost three daughters to an Israeli bombing of
his home during the attack on Gaza has been nominated for a Nobel Peace
Prize. Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish’s voice was heard around the world
after he recounted the killing of his daughters on live Israeli
television moments after the attack. A well-known Gazan gynecologist,
Aish has been a longtime advocate for peace between Israel and
Palestinians.
