I wonder if they would have any problems with Mohandas Gandhi quotes about how Hitler’s enemies were just as bad as he was because they fought back.

"I do not want to see the allies defeated. But I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability that is amazing and seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed. Englishmen are showing the strength that Empire builders must have. I expect them to rise much higher than they seem to be doing." - Mohandas Gandhi

Letter to Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, regarding the military situation between England and Germany (May 1940), quoted in Collected Works (1958), p. 70.

There are a lot of serious misquotes on Gandhi out there. And even if he did say ‘lay down your arms’ it was from a perspective that I don’t believe most would have at all times.

1940 was a little early for anyone to have been aware of the evils happening in Hitler’s NAZI Germany. Even in the U.S. most sentiment was to stay out of Europe’s latest war.
