| | Non-Violent Resistance And Social Transformation |
 | | Even while satyagrahis seek to demonstrate to the government that civil resistance arises out of respect for law and for persons and constitutes no threat to public order, they must win the goodwill of the general population by working to give more than they receive. | | | These two dimensions of satyagraha are indivisible aspects of a single standpoint, for truth-force is a ceaseless witness to justice in its transcendental and immanent implications, and it must resist injustice whenever and wherever it occurs. | | | Although Gandhi employed the phrase 'passive resistance' during his earliest campaigns in South Africa, he was dissatisfied with it. |

| | Severe repressive measures which a government may wish to use, and may be organized to use, require some justification. | | | Even under circumstances when open publication is banned, a non-violent resistance movement must have some means of communication. | | | Forms of civil disobedience in the 1930 satyagraha included breaking the salt tax law, general tax laws (non-payment of taxes), no-rent campaigns, laws prohibiting mass meetings, and so forth. |

| | Attempting to non-violently resist collaboration, I presented the police with a flagrant case of corruption. | | | For example, they called upon the Israeli high court to heed their grievances (i.e., house demolitions, racial segregation, exile, collective punishment, expropriation of private lands, colonization of these lands, transfer of civilian Israelis to POT, humiliation, and uprooting trees). | | | Most of the means of suppression employed were not only ineffective but actually boomeranged and inflamed the Intifada. |

| | In these cases, the moral arguments of people who are being unjustly treated become irrelevant. | | | Key to the success of non-violent approaches is the willingness of the parties to base their resistance upon broadly supported moral principles and a communication strategy which publicizes for all the world to see the immoral and violent behavior of their opponents. | | | This problem is complicated by the fact that both sides are usually able to argue that the other side started the violence. |
