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.

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.
