What makes you think they don’t? Do you think you have a monopoly on ‘feeling’ for Indians?

Where do ‘Concerned Citizens’ and ‘Human Rights Activists’ disappear when innocent tribals are killed by the ‘revolutionaries’, or when hindu laborers are killed by ‘freedom fighters in Kashmir’ ? Why are they so silent when innocents in India are killed by naxalites or their freedom fighters ? Too busy condemning Israel to notice I suppose.

I completely understand where you are coming from, and the sentiments behind your arguments.

In Rediff today, there is a very objective article by TVR Shenoy where he wonders whether Nepal can turn into a Lebanon for us, and he tries to justify the Israeli incursion into Lebanon. And he is right, as you are, in a number of ways.

What I find difficult to do is to applaud Israel for its policies, which, over decades, have brought nothing but misery and devastation to a large chunk of the human population in that part of the world. Arab Muslims and Arab Jews lived side by side for centuries, until the advent of Zionism. This conflict was not inherently religious in nature. Radical Islam and radical Zionism are rallying calls for the two sides.
And we in India, increasingly faced with the threat of radical Islam, automatically rush to bundle everything under one simple heading. This is a very American view of the world.
The fact that the ideology of Hezbollah/Hamas et all is very different, and even at loggerheards, from those of Osama’s children in Pakistan, the LeT and friends, is well known. But it’s easier to call everyone terrorists than to go into such details.
Explaining this to Americans/Israelis with their ‘kill em all, let god sort them out’ attitude is like to talking to a wall. Unfortunately, explaining it to most Indians has become just as difficult…
And after a while, most of us just throw up our hands and say…who cares, let the children die. It’s not our war after all…

BTW Mushrraf has done something similar within Pakistan. He supprssed a Shia uprising.

There is peace between Israel and Jordan/Egypt because of USA.

Yep, all artificial states, as you mentioned.
However there is a difference between drawing a land in the sand and separating people living there into two nations, and ‘carving out’ a nation where there was none, pushing the indigenous people out, and settling white europeans there. That’s about the best distinction I can make, and if you still can’t see the difference, well…

Zia-ul-haq? In Jordan? Killing Palestinians? Sorry, not aware of that. Maybe you could enlighten me offline…
Not really sure what that has to do with this issue though.

Egypt and Israel: There is a peace treaty between the two nations, signed in 1979. According to the treaty Egypt regained control over the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had seized in the six-day war in 1967.
Israel does not hold Egyptian prisoners in its jails.
I don’t see any reason why Egyptian ‘militants’ (do you mean the Muslim Brotherhood?) should lob rockets into Israel, unless they want to empathize with the fate of the Palestinians.
In contrast, Israel holds many Lebanese prisoners (some of them well known extremists such as Samir Kuntar, others whom it labels as terrorists). Before this war started there have been documented raids by Israeli forces into Southern Lebanon to pick up ‘suspects’. I don’t see why Hezbollah can’t do the same. After all, one illegal act is as good as the other.

And I am obliquely condemning Israel’s disproportionate actions. That is why my suggestions are out of the box. Israel has not implemented what I have said.
