Gandhi grandson visits West Bank.

I remember what I once read about the Soweto massacre in South Africa in
1960: that peaceful, unarmed resistance may be morally a great thing, but
against armed soldiers, who are ready to shoot unarmed protestors it is
useless. The other side must honor some lawful and moral points if unarmed
resistance is to be succesful. If they just shoot you and the world looks
by, then unarmed resistance is futile.

And what comes to Mahatma Gandhi(1869-1948), one has to remember that
his unarmed and peaceful resistance to the British rule of India caused
the loss of life of large number of people in the Indian side, as the
British acted violently against peaceful protestors, which then in many cases
caused violent protests by the Indians, which the British then suppressed
by use of force, like in Amritsar in 1919.
