AWW23: We Would Have Been Friends: My Father & I - Raja Shehadeh

Chair: Gareth Evans


The personal and the political are intertwined in the memoir a
Palestinian human rights lawyer writes about his father. This is
a son’s story of a distant father forever enraged and galvanised
by a litany of injustices - British colonial rule, the Nakba,
Jordanian territorial ambitions and the many years of the
Occupation. Aziz Shehadeh, an eminent jurist, was exiled,
imprisoned and finally murdered by a collaborator. His son, Raja
Shehadeh, shares his sorrow, his sense of alienation and his
profound loss.
