Gandhi fired after Holocaust remarks?

A grandson of India's founding father, M.K. Gandhi, has resigned as president of a peace institute amid Zionist furor over his remarks that the Zionist regime was the biggest player in a global culture of violence.

 

The board of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Non-violence in Rochester at the University of Rochester in upstate New York accepted the resignation of Arun Gandhi, its founder, it was announced Friday.

 

Gandhi, 73, faced Zionist anger earlier this month after he wrote in a discussion on a Washington Post website that Zionists overplay the Holocaust and that Israel is the biggest player in a culture of violence.

 

"My intention was to generate a healthy discussion on the proliferation of violence," Gandhi said in a prepared statement Friday. "Clearly I did not achieve my goal. Instead, unintentionally, my words have resulted in pain, anger, confusion and embarrassment.
