You understanding of Islam and middle-east is based on total ignorance and typical arrogance. Perhaps you should read more about both these subjects before formulating a prejudice against them(the religion or the race)

Personally I believe in Israel''s right to exist but that does not in anyway undermines my support for Palestinians. How long are these people required to be treated as if they are animals? What is their sin? Only because they were happen to be living where Israeli wanted to create their country, they have been treated as such.

Why are western institutions so allergic to criticism of Israelis? One can abuse Jesus, Bush, Blacks, White, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Muhammad or anyone for that matter. But as soon as you utter a word on Israelis you suddenly becomes untouchables.

More and more, speaking the truth is a crime.

"The solution to the Israeli/Palestinian problem is simple.

It only demands both sides be treated equally, and thus far this has not been done.

First, here''s an abridged history. After the fall of the Ottoman empire Britain owned much of its land (the %u201CBritish Mandate%u201D). The League of Nations Mandate for Palestine of 1922 laid the plans for an Israeli state, but Israelis/Arabs committed many terrorist acts against each other and the British and it didn''t work. After WWII there was a moral outcry at the slaughter of innocent Jews so it was decided that Israel must be created immediately and the United Nations Palestine Partition Plan of 1947 was born.

Unfortunately, since Arabs were considered primitive second class citizens it was decided that the land where Israel now resides would be purchased from the British and its current inhabitants would either submit or be stripped of their land titles. And because of Arab disunity and political infighting they failed to stop it.

Since then, America has taken one side, turning a blind eye to Israels terror and collective punishment, while condemning Palestinian terror.

So here''s the answer. Demand that terrorism stop on all sides, that Israel return to the borders awarded it in 1947, and that Jerusalem be divided equally. And withdraw all funding from both sides until it happens.

Until then there will always be war."

Re: "Gandhi wrote that Jewish identity "has been locked into the holocaust experience - a German burden that the Jews have not been able to shed. It is a very good example of (how) a community can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends."

Who could possibly argue with that?

Re: "Gandhi later apologized "for my poorly worded post," saying he shouldn''t have implied that Israeli government policies reflected the views of all Jewish people."

True. Not even close.

Re: "I think it''s shameful that a peace institute would be headed up by a bigot," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League..."

It would be difficult to name a more hate filled group of racist extremists than the "Anti-Defamation League". Quite the Orwellian misnomer.

The REAL problem is that it is a JEWISH state and the MUSLIM neighbors are very very unhappy about that ...

The area controlled by the Isreali military is majority muslim. there are also a large muber of Chrsitians living in that area. It is not a "jewish" state any more than south africa was a "white" state. A minority of bigots have seized power in that country, and they brutally suppress the christians and the muslims. it goes against american values, we don''t believe in and shouldn''t condone minority rule by racist bigots.

Again, thanks to Mr. Ghandi for standing up to these Zionist psychopaths.

ilikecats1,

Re: "The Jews have lived in this area CONTINUOUSLY since that time and Jews ARE an indigenous people to this area."

Fine. The ones that managed this should be allowed to stay. The others should get out. If they survived that long without a formal sate, they should be able to get by without one from here on out.

I hate to break this to you, but people can convert to the religion/cult of Judaism, as is apparently the historical case with many Jewish people, including many in Israel.

In this case, these Jewish people would have no historical claim to the land of that region whatsoever; not even authority from some moldy old book of fiction. Nothing.

If you feel that the World owes you for some reason, because of WWII, then set up a "Jewish State" in Berlin, and get out of Palestine.

ilikecats1,

Re: "Describing Jews in a way that makes them seem like invaders or outsiders is simply racist slander..."

You must have a reading comprehension problem.

The only thing that I wrote about "the Jews" is that the Israeli squatters in Palestine seem to think that they represent ALL Jewish people. They don''t. Not Even close. Most Jewish people don''t even live in Israel.

Many, many, Jewish people are appalled at the endless Israeli atrocities.

rillifane,

Re: "Think of all the countries ruled by people who still keep slaves, murder their own sisters in the name of their so called "honor" and who are waiting for a paradise whose principle reward is the right to have 40 virgin girls and 20 virgin boys to rape. People whose so called prophet was a rapist and child molester and whose high clerics, even today, offically approve of child molestation. People who send death threats to authors and cartoonists. People who strap bombs to their children and send them to kill other children."

"Compared to those countries Israel is a paragon of virtue."

Gee, you set the bar mighty high, don''t you.

No wonder Israel is such a decrepit nation of squatters, infested with extremist psychopaths.

Anyone who thinks the relatively modern, liberal democratic state of Israel is "about the most contemptible country on the planet," is either stupid or insane.

Think of all the countries ruled by people who still keep slaves, murder their own sisters in the name of their so called "honor" and who are waiting for a paradise whose principle reward is the right to have 40 virgin girls and 20 virgin boys to rape.

Is he wrong? Doesn''t violence beget violence?
"And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us."
Or how about this - allow people to have opinions different from yours without demonizing them.

Re: "Gandhi''s Grandson Angers Jewish Community"

Who cares?

Re: "Comments Critical Of Israel''s "Culture Of Violence" Prompt Peace Center Co-Founder To Resign"

First off, the Israeli welfare/terror/apartied-State is about the most contemptible country on the planet, and their endless crimes and atrocities are hard to even keep hearing about.

Secondly, the squatters of Palestine who call themselves Israel, seem to think that they represent ALL Jewish people. They don''t. Not Even close. Most Jewish people don''t even live in Israel.

Israel is a perfect example of why basing a country on a particular religion/cult is an extremely poor and dangerous idea.

Thank you to this grandson of Ghandi for speaking out against Israeli abuses, in the face of certain vicious attacks from the Zionists.
