Palestinian ‘Seed’ Yousef Bashir featured in Washington Post

At 15, he was shot in the back by an Israeli soldier. Now this Palestinian has dedicated his life to peace.

“What my father was teaching me all my life was that although an Israeli shot me, many Israelis were there to save my life. Suddenly now I understood my father when he said you have to choose forgiveness over revenge, bravery over fear and peace over war, and this is what any Holy Lander should be doing.”
