Before we start, it is worth noting that Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in January 1948, preventing him from hearing about the founding of the state of Israel in May 1948 as well as the ensuing expulsion of Palestinians (al-nakba) during the Arab-Israeli War. Any, and all comments by Gandhi relating to Palestine and the Jewish settlers there are therefore related to the period after the First World War and in particularly during the British Mandate.

I'm not entirely certain what these quotes that you've seen are. Mahatma Gandhi was most certainly not an anti-Semite. During his time in South Africa, he made friends with many South African Jews who were sympathetic to his cause as well gave numerous references to Jews in British India in his speeches and writings. I will not go in-depth about that, because I feel like your question is more related to Israel and Palestine. To answer your question, then, I feel that we should turn to a primary source: Gandhi's 1938 essay, The Jews, first published in Harijan (November 26, 1938).

In the essay, Gandhi begins by expressing his sympathy for the Jews. He writes that, "I have known them intimately in South Africa. Some of them became life-long companions. Through these friends I came to learn much of their age-long persecution." Gandhi compares the Jews as being the 'untouchables' of Christianity, something he connects to the plight of the 'untouchables' in his contemporary India. No matter his sympathy, however, he writes that his sympathy "does not blind me to the requirements of justice." He goes on to write that:

"Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. The mandates have no sanction but that of the last war. Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home."

Gandhi then proceeds to argue that the better course of action would be for Jews not to be persecuted and be given just treatment wherever in the world they are. "The Jews born in France are French in precisely the same sense that Christians born in France are French." Gandhi is sympathetic to the plight of the Jews around the world, and he goes on to particularly bring up the example of Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews that were on-going at the time. Gandhi calls upon the German Jews to commit to civil defiance, to non-violence along the lines of Gandhi's very own satyagrah, so that "what has today become a degrading man-hunt can be turned in to a calm and determined stand offered by unarmed men and women possessing the strength of suffering given to them by Jehovah."

Turning his attention back to Palestine, Gandhi protests the approach of the Jewish settlers in Palestine. He argues that:

"I have no doubt that they [Jewish settlers] are going about it the wrong way. The Palestine of the Biblical conception is not geographical tract. It is in their hearts. But if they must look to the Palestine of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the goodwill of the Arabs. They should seek to convert the Arab heart. The same God rules the Arab heart, who rules the Jewish heart. They can offer satyagraha in front of the Arabs and offer themselves to be shot or thrown in to the Dead Sea without raising a little finger against them. They will find the world opinion in the their favor in their religious aspiration. There are hundreds of ways of reasoning with the Arabs, if they will only discard the help of the British bayonet. As it is, they are co-sharers with the British in despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them."

Gandhi once again calls upon non-violence in the question of Palestine. There are other alternatives than force, Gandhi argues, for the Jews to live in Palestine. Yet Gandhi is not entirely one-sided when it comes to the Palestinians. He acknowledges their excesses as well, wishing that "they had chosen the way of non-violence in resisting what they rightly regarded as an unwarrantable encroachment upon their country." Yet, Gandhi, argues, "according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of overwhelming odds."

There is therefore a sympathy for both sides. Gandhi understands the historical persecution of Jews and their current persecution in Nazi Germany. Yet at the same time, he can not throw his support behind the means in which they have used force in their dealings with Palestinians. In fact, Gandhi makes the argument that Jews around the world should take civil actions to claim their rightful home in the nations that they already live in. The cry for a national home, Gandhi argues, "affords a colorable justification for the German expulsion of the Jews." If Jewish settlers do want to live in Palestine, they have to do so with non-violence and with respect for the Palestinians. This is, ultimately, completely in agreement with Gandhi's views on and support for satyagraha.
