“The Problem Is Not That I Met With Hamas In Syria. The Problem Is That Israel And The United States Refuse To Meet These People.”
















Last week was George Bush and Pope Benedict XVI's week. This week is Nobel Peace Laureate [2002] Jimmy Carter and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's week.

"What I have pleaded for is renunciation of violence of the heart and consequent active exercise of the force generated by the great renunciation."
(મોહનદાસ કરમચંદ ગાંધી, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi)

Satyagraha libretto from the MET Opera.
