You fail to address any of my points but jump right into the "Blame it on Muslims" rhetoric. Palestine was occupied by the Ottomans while India was occupied by the Moghuls. ALthough both of thrm happen to share the same religion, they were completly different races and cultures. Islam is not a monolythic religion, please remember that. When the continent of Africa was colonised by European powers 200 hundred years ago, nobody said that Africa was under "Christian occupation." This is  because Europe is an ethnically diverse continent, and although every Euro nation is Christian, they are distinctly different from one another. The same goes for the different Islamic empires througout history. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't even care what happened in the past. Right now India has its own concerns to address. We have our own ailments affecting our life. Lets cure our ailments first before looking into other's. We do what is in the best interests of India, not Israel or Arabs or Palesteinis for that matter. Right now We need Israel and we should work with them. We have no enemity with the Arabs or Israelis, so India working with Israel should not be of concern to the Arabs or Palestinis. We do work with Israel only to address our own concerns, and not a bit of it is about working against the Arabs or Palestinis.
