Gandhi was a pacifist and promoted non-violent resistance. That is what he advised the British and Jews to do with the Nazis. With the Nazis his policy would have amounted to surrender to conquest and destruction. He acknowledged that. For he called on the British to not resist Nazis and let themselves be conquered: In 1940, when invasion of the British Isles by Nazi Germany looked imminent, Gandhi offered the following advice to the British people (Non-Violence in Peace and War): "I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity. You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions.... If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes, you will vacate them. If they do not give you free passage out, you will allow yourselves, man, woman, and child, to be slaughtered, but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them." As for the Jews, Gandhi said after the war was over that the Jews should have cooperated in their own destruction even going so far as to thrown themselves into the sea: Even in 1946, by which time Gandhi had learned of The Holocaust, he said to biographer Louis Fisher:. Retrieved from the Wayback Machine, 14 February 2004. "The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs." encycl.opentopia Gandhi was a fortunate fool. Fortunate in that he applied his non-violent tactics to a civilized Christian occupying power. A fool to think that surrender to true evil is morally noble.
