AS SHEEP TO THE SLAUGHTER YET AGAIN
As this murder spree took place on Holocaust memorial day, it is not be surprising that the one man who said"Never again" was a 76 year old professor, a holocaust survivor.
He did the best he could, blocked the door with his body and told his students to flee. Of course, it would have been better if had he told them to attack.
You think I am too harsh? believe it or not, Mahatma Gandhi shared my view. Per chance, I as reading Mohandas yesterday and it included his response to the information that Hindu homes had been looted in Sharanpur in Western UP, an a housewife assaulted without the local Hindus putting up a fight. He emphasized that he was not asking Indians to respond with absolute non violence to villainy, or against"thieves, robbers or . . . nations that may invade India. He added:
As a Hindu I am more ashamed of Hindu cowardice that I am angry at the Mussulman bullying. . . . Where there are cowards, there will always be bullies."
Of course, standing up to bullies is no longer expected even of trained fighters. How can one expect young people at a university to behave more courageously than British marines confronting Iranian bullies? We better. For as Gandhi predicted, in the current atmosphere bullies are multiplying and the price of continuing to go as sheep to slaughter is getting higher and higher by the day.
