Great Grandson Of Mahatma Gandhi

Ghandi's Grandson Says Jews Are The Center In Culture Of Violence

Jews Are Behind World Violence

A relative of Mahatma Gandhi has resigned from a peace institute after drawing condemnation for comments he made in an online forum that Israel and Jews "are the biggest players" in a global culture of violence.

Founded The Gandhi Center For Non Violence

Arun Gandhi, the fifth grandson of the revered pacifist, said Friday the board of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence was forced to step down as president.

Arun Ghandi Was the Fifth Grandson of Mahatma Ghandi

Ghandi was born in 1869,  he was a British-educated lawyer, and is called 'Father of the Nation'. He orchestrated the revolt that led to India's independence from Britain.   a

Gandhi famously led Indians in the disobedience of the salt tax in 1930, and called for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous occasions in both South Africa and India.

On January 30, 1948, Gandhi was shot and killed while having his nightly public walk on the grounds of the Birla Bhavan (Birla House) in New Delhi.

The Holocaust Fable

Gandhi said the Jewish identity "has been locked into the holocaust experience,  a German burden that the Jews have not been able to shed. They overplay a very questionable historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends.

Does The Holocaust Justify This?

"The holocaust was the result of Hitler who convinced his followers into doing something dreadful. The Jews were oddly silent for forty years until the legend made it's way on to the silver screen. As the legend penetrates the Jewish psyche, they are becoming angrier, and feel they have a right for unlimited compensation and revenge.

An Unholy Bloodlust

Describing Israel as "a nation that believes its survival can only be ensured by weapons and bombs," Gandhi asked whether it would "not be better to befriend those who hate you?"  While emphasizing that Jewish suffering, particularly in the Holocaust, "was historic in its proportions"

Gandhi Questions Israeli Violence

Gandhi said that "it is also important not to forget the past, lest we fail to learn from it," he stood by his criticism of "the use of violence by recent Israeli governments."

Gandhi Says Israel Doesn't Represent All Jews

"Apparently, in the modern world so determined to live by the bomb, this is an alien concept," he wrote. "You don't befriend anyone, you dominate them. We have created a culture of violence (Israel and the Jews are the biggest players) and that Culture of Violence is eventually going to destroy humanity."

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

Abe Foxman Is 'Spittling Mad'

Larry Fine, head of the Jewish Federation, called Gandhi's words "reprehensible." Abraham H. Foxman called it "shameful that a peace institute would be headed up by a bigot."

"One would hope that the grandson of such an illustrious human being would be more sensitive to Jewish history," Foxman said.

The Jewish Head Of Rochester University

The school's president, Joel Seligman, said that Gandhi's resignation was appropriate.

The university will function quite nicely without Gandhi and his followers.

The Israeli Assassination Of Bhutto Hit A Cord

No doubt Gandhi was repulsed by the killing of women in children in Gaza, Iraq, the Sudan, Zimbabwe, but the recent assaults on Pakistan were too close to home. He realizes that India and Pakistan didn't attain by nukes by accident, and there could very easily be a global thermonuclear exchange orchestrated by Israel.
