The Jews in Palestine 1938: By Mahatma Gandhi (Mohandas Kirmachand Gandhi)
Several letters have been received by me asking me to declare my views about the Arab-Jew question in Palestine and the persecution of the Jews in Germany. It is not without hesitation that I venture to offer my views on this very difficult question.
My sympathies are all with the Jews. I have known them intimately in South Africa. Some of them became lifelong companions. Through these friends I came to learn much of their age long persecution. They have been the untouchables of Christianity. The parallel between their treatment by Christians and the treatment of untouchables by Hindus is very close. Religious sanction has been invoked in both cases for the justification of the inhuman treatment meted out to them. Apart from the friendships, therefore, there is the more common universal reason for my sympathy for the Jews. But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which theJews have hankered after return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.
The nobler course would be to insist on a just treatment of the Jews wherever they are born and bred. The Jews born in France are French in precisely the same sense that Christians born in France are French. If the Jews have no home but Palestine, will they relish the idea of being forced to leave the other parts of the world in which they are settled? Or do they want a double home where they can remain at will? This cry for the national home affords a colourable justification for the German expulsion of the Jews. But the German persecution of the Jews seems to have no parallel in history. The tyrants of old never went so mad as Hitler seems to have gone. And he is doing it with religious zeal. For, he is propounding a new religion of exclusive and militant nationalism in the name of which any inhumanity becomes an act of humanity to be rewarded here and hereafter. The crime of an obviously mad but intrepid youth is being visited upon his whole race with unbelievable ferocity. If there ever could be a justifiable war in the name of and for humanity, a war against Germany to prevent the wanton persecution of a whole race, would be completely justified. But I do not believe in any war. A discussion of the pros and cons of such a war is, therefore, outside my horizon or province. But if there can be no war against Germany, even for such a crime as is being committed against the Jews, surely there can be no alliance with Germany. How can there be alliance between a nation which claims to stand for justice and democracy and one which is the declared enemy of both? Or is England drifting towards armed dictatorship and all it means? Germany is showing to the world how efficiently violence can be worked when it is not hampered by any hypocrisy or weakness masquerading as humanitarianism. It is also showing how hideous, terrible and terrifying it looks in its nakedness.

I hope one day we as 'humans' can all stop allowing our governments exploit our normal differences for profit and unite as a human species in peace. We would all benefit, every last one of us!
Thank you. In every dictionary printed in english Semite is defined as: a member of any people speaking a Semitic language: Jews and Arabs are Semites. Semitic is defined: to do with a group of languages including Hebrew, Arabic, and others. Yet, the work semite is used in society to protect Jews and not for their Arab brothers and sisters. How can that be? Not so long ago the tables were turned and the Jews were the subject of attack. What kind of world are we living in?
our land was NEVER a dry or rocky land,it was heaven,it was a beautiful land n then u jews just come n take after all those years,you just come n take our land n our houses,if you were saying that it's ur land then why did you come 2 it only in 1917?I know why...because euorp an euoropians don't want jews in their countries,so,they have collected all the jews 4m all the euoroians country n through u in our land n claim that they r with ur cause.
end occupation of what? there has always been an "occupational" presence in Israel. Such as the british and turks. But there was never an established government, and certainly not one of so called palestine. so Israel is actually not in any violation of occupation, and the so called palestinians have no legal right to the land as they claim
it doesn't matter who occupied the land retard. the land rightfully belongs to the PEOPLE OF THE LAND. it doesn't matter if someone else is ruling them, it is their land. it belongs to Palestinians. who have been there for centuries. you're a stupid cunt trying to spread lies.
I agree that it belongs to THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND. therefore it belongs to the JEWS. Actually you should stop spreading lies that the so called palestinians were the people of the land
lol they were there for centuries while the zionists only went there in the 19th century... u cant return to a place uve never been to. and it doesnt matter who was there 2000 years ago.
actually, there has always been Jews living in Israel. Large communities in Jerusalem, Tel- Aviv and Haifa. So don't spread lies about Jews not living in Israel. But I'm sure you forgot that and the fact that a majority of Jordan is made up of palestinians.
i am serious big-nosed batsards motherfuckers of jews if nothing will be done to free our country from you pieces of shit i'll go down in the street and kill as many of you as i can.
the majority of jordan is made up of palestinians because THEY FLED WHEN ISRAEL DROVE THEM OUT AND MADE THEM REFUGEES, and the jews living in palestine before israel was created have every right to be there, it is the european jews from OUTSIDE who kicked out the palestinians who are the problem.
