Violence in Gaza unthinkable: H.H. the Dalai Lama of Tibet: Dharamshala: - Describing the ongoing violent conflict between Palestine and Israel in Gaza as 'unimaginable', The spiritual leader of Tibet His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said he did not expect such sort of violence from people who claim to hold religious principles.

"Unthinkable. All major religious traditions — Islam, Christianity, Hindu, of course, Jainism and Buddhism— teach us the practice of compassion, love, forgiveness, tolerance. So then a person who believes in certain faith, why do you involve in such violence?," His Holiness the Dalai Lama told media-persons on Monday, July 21 at Kangra airport in Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, India.

"The ongoing crisis in Israel and Gaza is very sad and totally opposite to what their religion promotes,"His Holiness the Dalai Lama said.
