Scholar Links West Bank Resistance to Gandhian Satyagraha

Scholar David Shulman has drawn parallels between West Bank resistance and Gandhian satyagraha, examining how nonviolent protest emerges from moral conviction under occupation. Shulman's analysis suggests that despair can transform into acts of moral duty, manifesting as free speech and resistance. The comparison highlights how indigenous populations facing foreign control have adopted nonviolent civil disobedience strategies rooted in philosophical commitment rather than political calculation.
