Ghandi is a living reminder of the following comment;
‘The meek shall inherit the earth...exactly six feet of it to be precise.’
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.
What an amazingly horrible irony that turned out to be....
VDH bump
Ghandi and the Indians also had the fortune of having the British as their oppressors.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Nonviolent resistance does not work against Nazis or Communists or Islamists.
Gandhi himself was never in danger of losing his life to the British "oppressor" - when he was murdered he was murdered by a fellow Hindu.
Six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis whether they obeyed the laws or didn't obey the laws. And Gandhi was either too stupid or too self-righteous to realize that.

Arun Gandhi better pray he never runs into me on a New York City street.
BINGO!
Bulls Eye Bump!
I can remember my mother talking about Ghandi...
She said that he would starve himself, in order to manipulate the British...
he would claim it was a “fast” for the Indian people..but he was really blackmailing England...
If he died during one of his “fasts” (which he did so often he was not well) the people would raise up and toss out the British..
he never intended to die though and he would let the British, convince him to stop his “fast” before that would happen...
That went on for years..he had the people so stirred up that the British were scared of uprisings and murders of the white population...
Ghandi was not a “holy” man, just a conman....
I am sure that there were many people who understood even back then (1938!) how amazingly horribly asinine his recipe was. Anyway, it was 1938, what is our excuse now? Why would anybody follow his advise when we know what happened?
The Gandhi grandson — Arun — impresses me as an incredibly stupid man, maintaining himself on his ancestor’s legacy. But perhaps he is a good fit on today’s university campus.
You mean like this?
To answer the question, the pic I posted above ... is from the Rachel Corrie Foundation website, which gives you some idea of what prompts his slobbery rant.
I think the motivation is two-fold. The smaller part is driven by antisemitism, and the larger part by some short-sighted and ill-considered opinions centered on "being mean to underdogs."
In the case of Israel, I seriously believe that liberals are so uncomfortable with the idea that the Israelis are devoted to agressive self-defense, and so married to the idea that they're being "mean" to the Palestinians, that they'll do anything to justify the horrors committed by the Palestinians.
I seriously doubt that they have consciously evil intent; they're just so monumentally stupid, naive, and ideologically constipated that the consequences of their actions are undeniably evil. I suppose that makes them even more dangerous....
Maybe a bit lower. It’d help if it nailed his jaw shut.
