Israel backs India's 'right to self defence' following Operation Sindoor
Israel has expressed strong support for India after the Army launched a series of terror strikes on civilian targets in Pakistan and Kashmir.
On Wednesday, Reuven Azar, Israel’s Ambassador to India, posted on X: “Israel supports India’s right for self-defense. Terrorists should know there’s no place to hide from their heinous crimes against the innocent.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Didn't know much about this particular conflict, but based on this endorsement, i now assume India to be the aggressor.
Then you should read some more. Neither side is innocent. See my comments for context. Israel's endorsement is certainly a bad sign, but you'd be ignoring a lot of history if you reduce it to a good v. evil conflict.
It's not that i don't know a little about the hostility in the region, it's that I'm not clear on the spark this time around.
I was throwing shade at Israel's endorsement. That's like having Trump or Putin endorse a thing. Automatic rejection from me.
Fuck Netanyahu and fuck Trump, but they both also condemned Pahalgam, along with Afghanistan, Germany, UK, France, Russia, and practically every country in the world. Does that mean it was correct, because Israel and US condemned it?
Pahalgam? You do know that 26 people, including 1 Nepali and 1 Kashmiri Muslim was shot point black, all men, 23 of them Hindu pilgrims, 1 Christian and 1 Muslim pony guide who tried to protect one of the tourists was killed, right? That men and women were separated and the men were made to chant the Kalma and those who couldn't, were shot?
India targeted terrorist bases, they provided the names,locations and purpose of each base, which attacks in India were carried out by which base, who was trained where and such details. It was fairly detailed. Look it up. Some were related to the extremely well documented and researched 26/11/2008 Mumbai attacks. That's 17 years old now. Hindus and Muslims in my cousin's area near Mumbai still light candles every day because one person who died has elderly parents living in the same place.
The Muridke camp is well known to journalists and historians - it was established in 1988. It was among the listed sites. I recognised it immediately reading the list today. Masood Azhar confirmed that his mosque and seminary was struck. Look him up. So no, India didn't target civilians willy nilly, they targeted known terror camps based on credible intelligence. The question is, how precise were the strikes and how many civilians were really killed? We also have to count the bodies in Jammu due to artillery shells fired by Pakistan in return. The civilian death toll was higher than the soldiers killed, last time I checked. They also targeted a Gurudwara, apparently. I'd again ask you to read both of my comments in entirety before you respond. It shows some respect for the person you're replying to. You must not admit your ignorance and then feel entitled to give an uninformed opinion on everything. I don't comment on the Russo Ukraine war. It is because I am ignorant, and I am aware of the biases of our media. I shall ask you, very politely, to educate yourself. Don't take it the wrong way.
I'm sorry, but knowing a 'little' is not enough. We've lived through terrorist attacks for years. If the name 'Masood Azhar' doesn't strike a bell to you, you simply have no right to air your prejudices here. If 'Kunan Poshpora' is just a strange word to you, you shouldn't speak, much less in an Indian sub for Indians. Doing your research is necessary. We aren't obligated to explain it to you. We are grieving our dead in Jammu, killed in shelling by the Pak army.
Israel sells weapons. Why wouldn't they support more war? Honestly, please go away if you'd rather just dismiss Pahalgam, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Reasi and God knows how many terrorist attacks done neither by Kashmiris, nor us like the 'leftists' over at .ml. I'm scared, and I don't wish to deal with the toxicity of this shitty government, ignorant bull peddled online for western people looking for a nice black and white narrative, or the hyper nationalist bull from either side. We just heard that Amritsar was targeted, but was stopped by the army. Tomorrow, God knows what fresh new hell will break out.
