Before your too happy about that you should check out Ghandi's views on the holocaust!

That they should offer non-violent resistance and not resist the holocaust?

I think it's very naïve, but it entirely in keeping with his well known views.

It's beyond naïve. It's imbecilic. He was fortunate enough to have an enemy as fundamentally decent as the British, who could be shamed into not fighting. That he thought the Jews could use the same tactics as he did when they already offered up pitifully little resistance and were slaughtered anyway is stupid to the point of being scandalous.

They're not evil views though, just absurdly naive.
