Mahatma Gandhi's grandson visited Israel and Palestine this week bringing a message of non-violent resistance.

Ramallah – The firetruck at the edge of the football
pitch was being used to spray water on the gathering
crowd. It was hot in midday Ramallah, but there were
a few vendors from Rukab’s ice cream milling about in
traditional clothes. Women were walking down the
hillside towards the political rally with pictures of
the dead. The Palestinians were waving the national
flag as the loudspeakers were blaring Arabic music in
anticipation of Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson. In the
world’s longest running international relations chess
match known as the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Dr.
Gandhi’s visit left a ripple. He told the
Palestinians not to respond to Israeli aggression and
to set their own agenda. The night before he had
quoted Napoleon saying, “the general who holds the
initiative wins the war.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
