      Quiet Graveside Memorial for Zeevi


      Family and friends gathered Thursday at the grave of Tourism Minister Rechavam "Gandhi" Ze'evi, who was murdered exactly seven years earlier by Arab terrorists. President Shimon Peres said: “One could argue with Gandhi about politics on the stage, but after getting off the stage the bickering stopped and the friendship began."

      Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said: "If he was alive he would be torturing me in his eloquent style, harshly. But I do feel his absence and the absence of the clear presentation of his ideals, which he presented proudly and courageously from the depths of his heart. He had unconditional love for the nation of Israel and the land of Israel."
