Dear Troll:
I have to say, thank God Gandhi was not at Bloody Sunday in Derry, but than again, he knew of Jillianwalla, so did he not fight for knowlege of the peaceful intent of the British. No. If you think the British love life more than the Germans or French, ask Eric Stolier, the husband of an old friend of my mother.
Eric is the only survivor of the 800 + Rumanian Jewish refugees of the Sturma. Who killed the 800 + souls aboard that "ship"? The Rumanian nazi's who forced them to flee? The ship owners who put 800 people in a converted wooden schooner built in 1830, hanging together - just bearly by use of rusted metal plates? The Turks who, after the Struma drifed into their waters when the engine failed, starved them for months in the harbour than towed them to see among mines in a sinking crippled ship? The Russians who torpedoed the doomed ship? The British who refused to allow the ship into Palsitine, knowing by then the fate of Rumanian Jews? Well, I would not put much faith in the humanity of many nations today.
Hope for a better world
