    That's a very twisted misinterpretation of his words and intentions. I found this interesting from the article:

    In March 1939, Shohat spent four days speaking to Gandhi at his ashram and emerged discouraged, feeling that Gandhi had adopted an Arab perspective of Zionism.

    Based Gandhi.

      :michael-laugh: The professional Gandhi defender is clicking through to the 4-month old thread to defend Gandhi.

      Cool, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the Holocaust and the following Gandhi quote.

      “Hitler killed five million [sic] Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs…It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany… As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions.”

      Also, same thread:

      “Gandhi advocated only for non-violent resistance to the Nazis and sent a conciliatory letter to Adolf Hitler in which he addressed the Fuhrer as a “friend” and wrote that he did not believe the German dictator was the “monster” his opponents described.”

          rather than reading excerpts curated to make him look like some sort of nazi collaborator (like Stalin or something)

                  Molotov-Ribbentrop has been discussed to death and back on here, including what it is, why it is, and what it did. All you had to do was look for it.

                      On the off-chance you're being honest here:

                      The USSR had attempted to make pacts with the rest of Europe to fight the Nazis, but was consistently rebuffed. The entire rest of Europe had already made pacts with the Nazis in a bid to push them into the USSR. Therefore, as a last resort, they signed a pact of non-aggression with them in order to buy themselves time and build up their military readiness.

                      The USSR paid a higher price than any other nation to free the world from fascism. You'd do well to respect that fact, and not push "red fash" "both sides" conspiracy nonsense.

                          On the one hand: :sankara-shining: WE MUST NEVER STOP EXPLAINING

                          On the other hand, he'd probably tell me Sankara was a fascist.

                          Red fash is a thing

                          Red fash is not a thing. This is literally a reheated Nazi conspiracy theory to try to draw equivalences between two diametrically opposed ideologies.

                          Never once have I used any “both sides” conspiracy nonsense other than to point out that all the major powers are employing troll farms.
