I believe I have read–but I can’t recall where– that during the Second World War, some English pacifists proposed that when the Nazi troops arrived in England, unopposed by military resistance (thanks to pacifist policy), they should be greeted with Christian love. Such a greeting would be disarming, and the Nazis, seeing that the invaded population were Christian friends rather than belligerents, would realize the error of the war-like Nazi ways.
Does anyone have a citation or other information about this proposal?
MORE BLEG: How a good article or book chapter on Frantz Fanon’s influence in promoting racist violence and other terrorism? There’s mention of this scattered in many sources, but how about a consolidated, extended treatment?
