Israel Bars Ghandi's Grandson From Gaza Peace Inspection.

GAZA — The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Tuesday barred
Rajmohan Gandhi, the grandson of Indian independence leader
Mahatma Gandhi, from entering Gaza Strip.



Gandhi expressed absolute sorrow for not being able to visit
Gaza, adding that he was deeply depressed over the scenes of
repression he witnessed in the Palestinian lands.

He said that the Israeli talk about a Palestinian state in
light of those de facto conditions was “meaningless”, adding
that the separation wall, settlements and bypass roads were
more horrific than what he imagined before visiting Palestine.

Gandhi said that the Israeli government was treating
Palestinians as second class citizens and was robbing
their land.

He said he was deeply touched over the story of prisoner
Fakhri Al-Barghouthi who had been held in jail for 33 years
and could not meet his two sons, whom he left as little
children, until they were detained by the IOF soldiers.

Gandhi said that he would publicize the Palestinian suffering
in India, the USA and any place he visits, adding that he
would also exert efforts for the release of Palestinian
prisoners.

"getting your Ghandi on isn't going to do it."
