Gouki, Welcome to IF. the welcome is a couple of days late....but anyway........
I have a specific question for you. When you say we should dump Israel becuase they did this/that to the palestenian people......what I wanna know is WHY?
Why should WE care more for the palestinians than the Israelis? for what? what's in it for us?
I do not know the exact history of Israel, like who conquered what, when, where, how n' that sorta stuff in the last 50/60 years..........but the way I know it, if you go back to the 6th century.......there were no palestenians as they exist today. U get the drift??
So please tell me more about why we should/not support Israel, from an Indian muslims POV. Since the majority of Indians are Hindus and have no quarrel with Jews/Israel for any reason whatsoever........why should the majority Hindus follow what Indian muslims think is right for the whole nation ?
PS. Please keep this discussion about Israel only. None of that 'sati' stuff in this thead, please. Just pure POVs n' WHYs?
