Unlike Israel which was founded on the sectarian ideology of Zionism, that privileged Jews and Judaic religion and culture over other belief-systems of the Middle East, India was not founded on any such narrow and limiting ideology. Unlike Israel, which unabashedly defends the rights of Jews over all others, India (as a state) has never claimed religious exclusivism for it's Hindu citizens. >>>>> Right. Except Muslims, not Hindu claim Religious Purity or at the minimum a submission of others. And unabashedly defends the rights of Muslims over all others- (in Kashmir, and in most other places) Plus Purity is a matter of survival for Israel, but not Kashmir

ChinuSFO... >>Why was the US intervention in the India Pakistan situation a success and why has US not yet succeeded in the Israeli-Palestenian situation? Is US' taking sides with Israel serving as a barrier to peace in the region? It is about time that US leaders free themselves of any bondage and act freely and fearlessly. Here is a good perspective of the two situations. There is much talk about the Arabs in Israel being all that prosperous. Well, is the Israeli political system set up such that the Israeli Arab can rise to occupy the highest office in the land? Kashmir is not Palestine, India is not Israel>> Thanks for sharing this! 119293
