Gandhi's grandson talks non-violence with Arafat:

"The grandson of Mohandas Gandhi took the legendary Indian leader's doctrine of non-violent resistance to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict yesterday, pitching the pacifist creed to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in his sandbagged, bullet-scarred West Bank headquarters.

"If the Palestinian people rise up and start a non-violent movement, it will boost world sympathy," he said. "The nations of the world will rise up and put more pressure on Israel."
