91. History lesson
Aaron Ezekiel   (05.05.19)
The Muslim king -invader Afzal Khan came to make peace with the Maratha King Shivaji Maharaj.. He had come to make PEACE with the Indian King. He had concealed a dagger under his cloak to murder the Maratha king. Afzal Khan could not defeat Shivaji. Fortunately Shivaji's guard warned of Afzals deceit and he himself then armed himself with a bear steel claw to rip Afzal apart. JUST to remind the underlying current of peace making processes. History repeats itself.. Be on your guard.
92. Not a Political HACK
Aaron Ezekiel ,   Toronto   (05.05.19)
He is just CASHING - IN on the situation. He should not have been encouraged ... in the first place by Israel or the Media. This is dengerously foolish meddling in the mid-east politics. KEEP-OFF. .
93. With al due respect
! Mommas   (05.19.19)
India isn't Israel and without conflict not passive resistance, there'd be no India or Pakistan.
( Most nations fight for he right to become nation.
In fact, passive resistance was used first used by a Jewish resister, Jesus Christ.
The pals don't want peace or compromise they want all Jews dead.
94. Robert

He is a member of a community of billion people.
I don't think he has a critical enough mind to understand
very different situations.
He is a doctor in what?
What relevant life experience has he?
The hundreds of millions of Hindus got rid of maybe
hundreds of thousands of colonists.
Here we have a completely other situation:
Hundreds of thousands of Jews should defend against
hundreds of millions of Muslims.
95. Mr.
Hiten ,   Holon   (06.07.19)
Stumbled upon this article and could not resist commenting on it. Someone should ask Dr. Arun Gandhi that why he was shot 3 bullets? Why any of Gandhi's children never came to active politics? Why Nehru family used name of Gandhi? Gandhian ideology suits only mature societies and mature enemies. Nehru family purposely defamed Israel in India and invited Yasir Arrafat to appease gulf and Russian bosses. Majority of Indians (including muslims) believe in 'live and let live' but they also believe in 'sathe sathyam samacharet' which means, evil needs to be responded with evil methods as this is the only language it understands. Having said that, Israel and Palestine must continue efforts to restore peace. Israel does not have to pay attention to Dr. Arun Gandhi, he is not even known back at home.
96. Mr.
ByJob ,   Sydney   (07.01.19)
Gandhi Jr. Needs some History Lessons.
HOW DID MUSLIMS SUDDENLY BECOME ‘PALESTINIANS’ AFTER 2,000 YEARS? The Shocking Truth: https://www.quora.com/How-DID-MUSLIMS-SUDDENLY-become-PALESTINANS-after-2-000-YEARS/answer/Joseph-Shellim?share=dd0d66c6
97. Mr Gandhi
Amnon Vaserman   (07.16.19)
Mr Gandhi mind your own problems in India there the casts are still the most powerful political tool the poverty is beyond description Israel is a small country with the population of a Indian village surrounded by millions of haters ,if you are a doctor cure your problems first.
98. Dr
Dr Clari ,   Israel   (07.21.19)
What an ignorant comment!
Israel has been for decades trying to get these Arab terrorists to stop murdering our people.
Everyone knows Israel is the land of the Jewish people.
But these Arab terrorists can't come to terms with the fact that they can no longer abuse us.....b/c now, we fight back!
Get used to it....!
Israel is our country.....and we'll defend it and our people no matter how ridiculous and ignorant people are of our heritage, history and love for our land.
99. Mr.
SUDIPTO CHATTERJEE ,   Hyderabad   (07.28.19)
Mr.Gandhi's ideas did not get Indians their freedom. He was a glamorised scapegoat to ascertain safe exit of the Britishers fleeing from India. His ideals were never relevant then nor is it now.
100. GHANDHI'S GRAND SON'S SUGGESTION
Mumtaz Jayyid ,   Manhattan   (09.05.19)
Apparently he never heard of the Khartoum Summit held In Southern Sudan held by the ARAB LEAGUE where the "THREE NOs" were established:
NO PEACE WITH ISRAEL
NO RECOGNITION OF ISRAEL
NO NEGOTIATIONS WITH ISRAEL
** ANWAR SADAT VIOLATED THAT PEACE AGREEMENT IN 1980 and was DEALT WITH fortwith.
Peace between the Palestinians and Jews, according to the late Emperor Haile Selassie's words..."IS A FLEETING ILLUSION TO BE PURSUED, BUT NEVER ATTAINED."
Yasser Arafat chose to be a "Professional Refugee" vice having a seat at the Peace table.
101. Only
Good matters ,   Leeds   (09.23.19)
Dr Ghandi is clearly a very wise and loving man. He speaks sense and offers humanity the gift of true knowledge. However this is a gift that must be used if received. To use his gift one must set aside ones human defects and long held bias. I am optimistic that the great nation of Israel is capable of this.
102. really
zeldagleich ,   safed   (10.14.19)
it is wonderful that he had a relationship with his grandfather. my grandmother lost many of her family in the holocaust and was very sad for most of her life. forget the holocaust, never!
103. Bigot
Adam ,   Tel Aviv   (10.27.19)
'History shows that Palestinians and Israelis lived happily together on the same piece of land'. But actually Mr. Gandhi, Israelis didn't have equal rights for that 'peaceful' period. Perhaps India should also go back under Muslim rule and things would be peaceful there too no?
104. President
J ,   Nyc   (11.16.19)
The grandson is just as stupid as his gfather..
105. India language
Hill Brodsky ,   Chicago   (11.30.19)
Up to now, I didn't know that India's intellectual (?) language is Bla-Bla-Bla.
106. Save Israel
(12.08.19)
Forget the anti Israel lobby. Israel can and must always defend itself.
107. His lecture already took place?
BethesdaDog ,   Rockville, MD   (12.25.19)
Glad I missed it!
108. Israel and India both face Jihad
Roland ,   USA   (12.31.19)
Arun Gandhi is condescending. He fails to understand that Israel, like India, is confronted by Jihad. It cannot be appeased. It can only be resisted.
109. message to Gandhi’s grandson
Mike ,   Jersey City   (01.02.20)
He believes that focusing on the Holocaust prevents the Jewish people from moving forward.... lets see if India's 50% population gets exterminated would Gandhi’s grandson be able to move forward without focusing ?
110. Never again.
Momma legga   (01.05.20)

Most nations are formed from revolts and wars.

There is NO Palestine
