Yes, humans. Not a hero left untarnished by the Cancel Culture.
” An excerpt from the link at Jewish Virtual Library provided in the answer below:
“If I were a Jew and were born in Germany and earned my livelihood there, I would claim Germany as my home even as the tallest gentile German may, and challenge him to shoot me or cast me in the dungeon; I would refuse to be expelled or to submit to discriminating treatment. And for doing this, I should not wait for the fellow Jews to join me in civil resistance but would have confidence that in the end the rest are bound to follow my example. If one Jew or all the Jews were to accept the prescription here offered, he or they cannot be worse off than now. And suffering voluntarily undergone will bring them an inner strength and joy which no number of resolutions of sympathy passed in the world outside Germany can. Indeed, even if Britain, France and America were to declare hostilities against Germany, they can bring no inner joy, no inner strength. The calculated violence of Hitler may even result in a general massacre of the Jews by way of his first answer to the declaration of such hostilities. But if the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary suffering, even the massacre I have imagined could be turned into a day of thanksgiving and joy that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of the tyrant. For to the godfearing, death has no terror. It is a joyful sleep to be followed by a waking that would be all the more refreshing for the long sleep.” (1938) ‘The Jews’ by Gandhi 1k views”
This is the first time that I have read this quote in its entirety. I leads me to only one possible conclusion:
Gandhi was a no-doubt-about-it, 100%, deep-friend, TOTAL M_Fing MORON.
The British were way too kind to him. Had they applied the “German method” no one today would have even heard of him.
It was British kindheartedness that allowed his stupidity to propagate. And in the end, he still wound up murdered by someone who had a darker (but more realistic) view of humanity than did he.
Had Gandhi’s views prevailed in 1939, the entire world would have been subject to brutal, genocidal, totalitarianism of the German, Russian and Japanese varieties for the past 80 years.
Thank Providence that our forefathers were freedom loving mensches instad of ‘Gandhis’.
The same guy who wanted us to lay down our weapons and surrender to the Nazi’s?
He wasn’t to keen on blacks either.
The Indian leader held racist views against South African blacks.
“We were marched off to a prison intended for Kaffirs,” he is quoted as saying during a visit to the country. “We could understand not being classed with whites, but to be placed on the same level as the Natives seemed too much to put up with. Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilized.”
You’re drawing precisely the exact opposite conclusion from that quote about the Jews. that was not a statement that Hitler was the greatest, and that they should commit suicide. It was a statement of how he thought was best to resist Hitler’s evil, and by “best” referring to the best method morally speaking.. It’s also basically the method he used against the Brits.
"Hitler killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs... It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany... As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions."
The hero of the left.
ghandi is dead to me.
always has been.
