I will have to go and read more about this for sure as there is always two sides to every story.

War, history and politics are always complex, and revision is always present it seems, as well as perspective.

I have no issue with much of what Gandhi says to be honest. He was an idealist and naturally his idealist thoughts would be contradictory and hippocritical at times. Also he was a human, quite capable of making mistakes and being contradictory.

What matters is that if he learns, evolves and can say "I was wrong".

Embrace your enemy and love him is a noble idea.

Abandon and let go of your material possessions another one.

Certainly it would seem a horror to suggest that he would recommend to the Jews to willingly go to their deaths and love HItler.

On a philosophical level I can understand it.

the challenge is trying to make the idealist/philosophy mesh with the nature of reality.

A big challenge.

Thanks for the perspective Mike. I will definitely read more about this perspective!
