Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy,
President of the Janata Party.
The Government of India must now stand squarely behind Israel in its policy of deterring the Hamas terrorist group, by pre-emptive decisive air and land-based strikes.
Hamas has not only refused to recognize the State of Israel despite Israel being recognized as a member of the UN for the last sixty years, but has attacked Israel with rockets, as well as supported suicide bomb attacks against innocent Israeli citizens and killing them for nearly seven years.
Hence, Israel, which nation has always supported India, must be fully supported to defend itself by pro-active deterrent retaliation against the Hamas.
No Indian national interest will be served by India supporting Hamas or by remaining neutral. Moreover about 80 percent of Indian people support Israel, regard it as a friendly nation and a valuable ally in the fight against terrorism.
