Here’s what some influential figures and leaders of the last 100 years have said about Israel’s violent occupation of Palestine.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly known as Mahatma Gandhi, is considered as the father of nonviolent resistance movement, which proved instrumental in driving Britain out of India. As an anti-colonial leader and a lawyer, Gandhi asserted that “Palestine belongs to the Arabs,” along with his well-known sympathy towards Jewish people.
In 1997, Mandela, in a powerful speech on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, declared, “Our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians”.His call for a two-state solution underscored the complexity of the conflict. Then he answered: “Only a thousand years ago, the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation... where Spain used to be, as the European zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?”
“In my name and the name of all Muslims in America, I declare support for the Palestinian struggle to liberate their homeland and oust the Zionist invaders,” he said.Larry Hochman, a Jewish professor of physics at Michigan University, known for his book titled “Zionism and the Israeli State”, said in 1967:
“You can’t present yourself as victims but be the fourth largest nuclear power in the world”, and later adds, “How do you put together the fact that we’re super-strong but we’re victims, and you should still support us? It’s that mixed message that’s problematic for Israel,” he said in a statement.A well-known American writer, James Baldwin, said in 1979 that Israel wasn’t created for the salvation of Jews but as a strategic move for Western interests.
