"But in my opinion, they [the Jews] have erred grievously in seeking to impose themselves on Palestine with the aid of America and Britain and now with the aid of naked terrorism. Why should they depend on American money or British arms for forcing themselves on an unwelcome land? Why should they resort to terrorism to make good their forcible landing in Palestine?" Mahatma Gandhi -1946

"When the Palestinians are free, our struggle will be complete." Nelson Mandela-1994

Three statements to world leaders are to head the International Conference for Justice & Peace in Palestine. This conference will convene in November 17-18, 2012 in the Indian city Mumbai.

In details, the India Palestine Solidarity Forum is an alliance of Indian social movements and people's organizations that are organizing a conference in solidarity with the courageous Palestinian people in their struggle for an independent sovereign nation.

"In keeping with our rich historical anti-colonial traditions, it is now our collective national endeavor to consolidate and rebuild a Palestine solidarity movement across India," the IPSF statement read.

It is worth mentioning that the Indian alliance has been instrumental in successfully organizing the First Asian Convoy to Gaza, as well as the Global March to al-Quds.
