There is a prequel to this and the words Israel and Hamas are exchanged.

I’m no supporter of either and I don’t believe that killing civilians on either side will answer questions, it will only make matters worse.

As Gandhi put it … “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth … leaves a world full of blind, toothless people”

As professor Farnsworth once said, “Now, now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything”

Gandhi was a total piece of shit pretending to be one of the good guys. Which I guess is pretty relevant to this conflict.

Also that quote is from Exodus.

If you think Gandhi was bad, you should look into Mother Theresa - the woman was literally a Disney cartoon villain.

I’m not convinced she wasn’t a sadist and got joy from the suffering of others.

Only the eye for an eye was the bible, the world goes blind was Ghandi.

On a long enough timeline everyone is a piece of shit. You on the other hand, are one right now.

Gandhi on Zionism:

My sympathies are all with the Jews.

But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice.

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.

Edit: This was 1938, btw. 10 years before the Nakba.

The post doesn’t mention Hamas, it’s talking about the previous killings of people in gaza. Not everyone in Gaza is in support of Hamas

Let’s dig a very wide canal connecting the Dead Sea, Red Sea & Sea of Galilee to the Mediterranean… Maybe about 250 miles wide would do it

Ghandi abused his wife regularly and ended up killing her by way of refusing to let her go to a doctor. I’ll not be accepting any of his quotes, thanks.
