Gándhí o sionismu

Dnes je výročí narození Móhandáse Karamčanda Gándhího (मोहनदास करमचन्द गांधी; 2. října 1869, Pórbandar, Kathiawar Agency, Britská Indie – 30. ledna 1948, Nové Dillí, Indie). Připomeňme si, co řekl o sionismu:
But my sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?

Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and in-human 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.
