Here are the main sentences in paraphrase of what Mahatma Gandhi wrote in
the Indian "Harijan", November 1938 (from my German translation):

1. I don't like the call of the Jews for a national home very much.
2. They draw the rationale from the bible.
3. Why should they not, as every race on Earth, make this land as their home
in which they are born and live?
4. Palestine belongs to the Palestines as England belongs to the English and
France to the French.
5. It is wrong and inhuman to force the Jews onto the Arabs.
6. What today happens in Palestine, is not justified by any moral code.
7. It is a crime against humanity to give Palestine as a whole or in parts
to the Jews.
8. I have no doubt, that their way is wrong.
9. The Palestine of the Bible is no geographical area, it's in the heart.
10. You cannot do a religious deed by bombs.
11. They can only settle there when first the Arabs agree to it.
12. They should rather try to turn the hearts of the Arabs.
13. The same God who rules the hearts of the Jew, rules also the hearts of
the Arabs.


What do the political correct Nazi hunters say to this? Is Mahatma Gandhi a
Nazi, too?
