<p>After an exhaustive study of Mahatma Gandhi&#8217;s works, scholar and activist Norman Finkelstein has written a new book about the principles of nonviolent resistance from the Indian struggle for independence to Tahrir Square and Zuccotti Park. He says Gandhi found &quot;nothing more despicable than cowardice,&quot; and argued that nonviolence does not mean running away from danger. In fact, Gandhi argued that fighting a war with seasons takes less courage than non-violent resistance in which &quot;you are supposed to march into the line of fire smilingly and cheerfully and get yourself blown to bits.&quot; Finkelstein&#8217;s new book is titled, <a href="http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/norman-finkelsteins-second-new-book-what-gandhi-says-about-nonviolence-resistance-and-courage/">What Gandhi Says: About Nonviolence, Resistance and Courage.</a> Click here to see <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2012/6/4/norman_finkelstein_waning_jewish_american_support">part 1</a> and <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2012/6/4/norman_finkelstein_on_the_role_of">part 2</a> of this interview.</p>
