India, Israel Interests Team Up
When the House passed a $3 billion aid package for Pakistan this week, Jewish and Indian American lobbyists teamed up to win an amendment pressuring Pakistan to stop Islamic militants from crossing into India.

Wearing lapel pins of the Stars and Stripes sandwiched between the flags of India and Israel, the amendment's supporters then gathered in a Capitol Hill reception room to celebrate the burgeoning political alliance between Indians and Jews in the United States.

In recent months, pro-Israel and pro-India lobbyists successfully worked together to gain the Bush administration's approval for Israel to sell four Phalcon early warning radar planes to India for about $1 billion, a deal that has alarmed the Pakistani government. Three years ago, the United States blocked a nearly identical proposal for Israel to sell radar planes to China.

Fascist Indian nationalists that deplore muslims coupled with
Israeli right-wingers. Hmmm...nice cocktail.

2. Hindu "Fascists"
Edited on Sat Jul-19-03 10:55 AM by varun
are a disgrace to Hinduism and India.

However, most Indians do not support their divisive agenda. The India-Jewish alliance is not against muslims, but against terrorism (against Israel and India). Remember, 15% of India is muslim (2nd largest muslim population in the world). The terrorism hurts both muslims and hindus in India.
