Pacifists against occupation (by Latuff)

Would Ghandi associated himself with a people who send suicide/homicide bombers to kill civilians...

Maybe this Gandhi has a belt-bomb under his kaffiya?

The funny part is, this is apparently really what Latouf thinks is happening -- that Israel is defending itself against a nation of Gandhis.

It’s said to see someone who is so wrapped up in their own political views that they can’t see the reality of the situation. I have yet to see the Palestinians to even demonstrate a pacifist approach to their situation. As long as the Palestinians keep sending in Suicide Bombers into Israel and killing civilians, the world will always be split over this small insignificant piece of desert land.

When a side truly uses Gandhi or MLK true pacifistic resistant, then that side will have the sympathy of the world on their side and the higher morality.

Ghandi did speak out against zionism though, check it out:http://www.pmwatch.org/pmw/manager/features/display_message.asp?mid=91

He may have spoken out against it - but would have never have approved of the methods currently being employed...

No he wouldn't, you are right. He would be uncompromisingly against the military occupation too as his letter shows. I believe it would be impossible to say that Ghandi would be against a sovereign state of Palestine. But he would definitely disagree with the methods of Hamas like many other people do.

Mr T,

Yes you are right that Ghandi "spoke against zionism". Another thing that he "spoke out against" was the Jewish people resisting Hitler. He believed that they should resist "passively", i.e they should just let themselves be killed by him. What a worthless sack of shit Ghandi truly was!

maybe Ghandi did say that Jews should not resist the Nazis. Kind of like what you people tell to the Palestinians. But at least, unlike the Zionists, he didn't collaborate with them so he could justify having his own racially based state.
