Mira Kamdar – Gandhi and Gaza: Israel’s Raj Debacle

 MIRA KAMDAR. "Gandhi and Gaza: Israel's Raj Debacle," Huffington Post, June 9, 2010.

"The organizers of the Palestinian aid flotilla have achieved a stunning victory over Israel in the international court of public opinion. It is a victory that Gandhi would well have understood. By pitting unarmed protestors (okay, so a few wielded kitchen knives when their ship was attacked) on a humanitarian mission against a government steeped in the logic that the best defense is a strong offense, the flotilla achieved the inevitable outcome: the martyrs won, Israel lost."
