The question of who announced the ceasefire is as meaningless as who announced the war. Between these two, there is also a series of war, a break, and then an endless series of war, behind which, apart from these two, there are all those who are blessed with both war and break.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a cordial meeting with both sides soon after the ceasefire and said that the US is committed to Israel's security, peace, and honor. He also said that the US will give 75 billion dollars for the entire development of Palestine and Palestinian people, who have been wired by the bombing.

From the beginning of the story of the Israel-Palestinian dispute, Mahatma Gandhi had a keen eye on this under the pretext of Jews. He was particularly impressed by the condition of the Jews in Europe.

After returning from a tour of the frontier region in 1938, he wrote his first editorial on the subject titled 'Untouchables of Christianity', "All my sympathies are with the Jews. I have known them since the days of South Africa. Some of them I have a friendship with my age and through them I have come to know about the excesses that have happened to them. These people have been made untouchables of Christianity. If I want to compare, I would say that the Jews were treated like Christians. This is how Hindus have treated the untouchables. "

"Apart from personal friendship, my sympathy with the Jews has broad grounds. But the deep friendship I have with them cannot stop me from seeing justice. That is why the demand of Jews for 'their own national home' does not suit me. The basis of the Bible for this Is being searched and then on the basis of this, the matter of returning to Palestinian territory is being raised. But as all the people in the world do, why can't even the Jews, where they are born and from where they earn their livelihood, get it Only consider your home? "

Christians treat the Jews as untouchables

Mahatma Gandhi said that "the Palestinian place belongs to the Arabs in the same way that England belongs to the British or France belongs to the French. It would be wrong and inhuman to force the Jews to force the Arabs. It would be appropriate that the Jews where They are also born and are earning them and they should be treated with equal respect. If the Jews want a Palestinian place, would they like to be forcibly removed from all the places in the world where they are today? Or that they Want your own two houses for your own interest? This noise of 'a national house for yourself' can be easily given the color that they were being evicted from Germany for this reason.

"What happened to the Jews in Germany has no harm in history. No old-fashioned figure has ever gone, Hitler seems to have gone to that extent, and that too with zeal for religion; As if he is establishing a special kind of pure religion and military nationality, in whose name all inhuman work becomes human work, whose virtue will be found here sooner or later… in the name of humanity and its establishment If there has ever been a war that has undeniable justification, it is a great war against Germany that prevented the total destruction of an entire race. But I do not believe in any war. Discourse is not the only place on my mind. "

"Germany has shown the world how 'efficiently' it can work when violence is completely free from ostentatious weaknesses such as humanism. She also shows how naked violence can be sinful, cruel, and scary." is."

"Could Jews counter this organized and merciless oppression? Is there any way that they could save their self-esteem so that they don't fall so helpless, neglected, and alone? I would say yes, whichever person is towards God. There will be full living reverence, he can never feel so helpless and lonely. The Lord of the Jews is far more manly than the God of Christians, Muslims, or Hindus, though the truth is that he is all in all and equal; And that is beyond any caffeine. But in the Jewish tradition, God is given a more human form and is supposed to regulate all their activities, so why should they feel so helpless. "

What would Gandhi do if she were a Jew?

Mahatma Gandhi said, "If I had been a Jew and had been born in Germany and would have got a livelihood from there, I would claim that Germany is my home as it is the home of a very strong German; Challenges that you shoot me or imprison me in the cellars, I am not ready to be evicted from here or accept any discriminatory behavior. And I do not wait for other Jews to come and see this civil disobedience I would rather support me alone with the belief that eventually everyone will come on my own path. "

"If one Jew had used this recipe or all the Jews had told me, then their condition is not as pathetic as it is today."

Comparison of Indians living in South Africa

"Indians in South Africa also had to live in the settlements they had set up, which they called 'location'. All other inequalities were almost the same as in Germany with the Jews. And there, in that situation, the first All the Indians took the path of Satyagraha which had no support from the outside world nor the Government of India. After eight years of fighting, the world public opinion and the Government of India came forward to help. "

"But the Jews of Germany are in a far better position than the Indians of South Africa. The Jewish race is an organized group in Germany. They are more skilled than the Indians of South Africa and can raise world public opinion behind their fight. I am confident that if any of them stand up with courage and understanding and lead them in non-violent action, in the blink of an eye their wintry days of despair will glow in the hope of warmth. "

"I have no doubt that the Jews living in the Palestinian Territory are going the wrong way. Palestine, which is mentioned in the Bible, has no geographical shape today. The Arabs can settle here only because of the goodness of them. One should try to win the hearts of the Arabs. The Arabs also have the same God who dwells in the hearts of the Jews. They should do Satyagraha in front of the Arabs and surrender themselves without raising a finger against them that they would like them to Fry them with bullets or throw them into the sea. "

"I am not defending the excesses committed by the Arabs, but I certainly believe that they are rightly opposing the unfair interference in their country. I also want them to fight it in a non-violent way. But From the point of view that the accepted interpretation of right and wrong has been made, how will you criticize the way the Arabs have retaliated against the big adversities… So now it is up to the Jews to show their ethnic superiority Claim it, prove it to the world by adopting non-violent methods. "

Whatever happened to such a statement, it happened. The storm of fierce opposition to Gandhi erupted in Germany.

Gandhi again said, "I was expecting the same angry response as my article about the treatment of Jews in Germany. I had already confessed my ignorance about the politics of Europe." Had taken it. But to tell the treatment of the disease of the Jews, where did I need to be aware of the politics of Europe! The crimes being done against them are beyond dispute. To the extent it will be quiet, then even the angriest Germans will be able to recognize that within what I have written, there is no malice for the Germans, only the source of friendship is flowing. "

"To say that my article, neither my movement, nor Indo-German relations is good for me, I do not think any logic, but I find something hidden in it as a threat. I do not give advice to myself, to my country, or to Indo-German relations for fear of damage, which I feel 100 percent true from the depths of my heart. "

"That Berlin writer has made a wonderful theory that no person outside Germany, even in a friendly manner, should criticize any move of Germany. I can say for myself that Germany or If any person of any country discovers even a far-off way to criticize India, I will welcome it. "
