Thanks for the excerpt.

It shows me what I've always believed, that Ghandi had no answer for Hitler. His proposals about Jews standing up for themselves non-violently were a kind of sick joke even when he proposed them, in 1938. In light of what we know now, it's worse than absurd. BTW, did Ghandi ever talk about the Jews and Israel after 1945?

I also think that Ghandi was badly misinformed wrt regard to the Jews "despoiling" the Arabs. The Jews didn't despoil the Arabs; they bought land at high prices and hired Arabs at good jobs they wouldn't have had otherwise. There are many examples of local Arabs going to work for the Jews and hiring someone else to farm their land due to the higher wages they got from the Jews. The British just tried to keep the peace, usually by appeassing the most unreasonable of the Arabs.

Remember, the Muslim population of Western Palestine went up five-fold between 1880 and 1948. Whatever this is, it wasn't displacement or despoilment.
