"A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb." In 1938 Mahatma Gandhi wrote a bracing and, at times, discomfiting essay on the claims of justice and nationhood in Palestine. Profoundly informed by its author's sympathy for the plights of Jews and Arabs alike, this text is also uncompromising in its advocacy of the path of non-violence-even in the most challenging of circumstances. Justice in Palestine is an essential work by one of the twentieth century's most powerful and authoritative voices.
