Well said..
I dont think usa has it in him to turn iran into another Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan..they cant afford to "invade" iran ..if they do itll be suicidal ..I only feel sympathy for the Iranians but their regime had it coming ..their leaders dont care for their lives , they care for the "Islamist revolution " which they're trying to protect..on the other hand there's israel who is fighting against terror & against people who want to erase their existence..years of conflict has shaped into this war ..
My question is why dont they recognize israel ? Why this Palestine conflict when both countries could've existed peacefully ? Whose ancestors were on whose land and who invaded whom, who cares ? Live in the present.
What's our concern ? Our concern is that we face the same situation in j& k ..we have been fighting terrorism since the last 5 decades & clearly , neither Israel's strategy really works nor ours ... israels strategy is to reply them in their language ..ours is appeasement politics & peace talks..there also india is accused of "oppressing" the minorities which is laughable bec largest percentage of minorities are in india , prospering & living fearlessly....
Let's see if anything changes with this war..lots of complexities involved..
I agree , usa always works out of self interest & this time itll backfire big time ...bhaad mei jaaye , its time all the countries unite against the big bully ..
@red: They dont recognize israel because their agendas are different and their religion and its priorities are quite different on their own. Their dangerous goals are what unite them within their community, and those goals act as their driving force.
Israel’s and india’s situations are somewhat similar but very different in terms of their existence. Israel is a very small country, if they give up, they could be wiped out in no time. For india, however, only a small part of its territory is in question (POK). Even if india were to give up on that issue, the country could still survive and thrive for a long time, probably even longer than our neighbouring country could exist for the next few decades.
However, for india the problem is that if it gives up one inch of land, the neighbor will ask for another ten inches. So this issue is not an immediate existential threat but it is still something india should not take lightly. That is why it is unfolding at a slower pace, unlike the israel-palestine conflict, which is a fast paced situation. For israel, it is an existential threat happening in real time.
It is debatable why they cannot live in peace, because one side is defending while the other is in attack mode. The defender has no option but to secure its safety without taking risks for its own people, whereas for the attacker, their own ideology is what prevents them from living peacefully.
@blue: Coming to why strategy is not working for either india or israel, then india’s approach is also very different from israel’s. India’s strategy is not aimed at immediate war. Instead, it focuses on keeping the region stable while simultaneously developing the nation to a point where no one can bully it. As the economy becomes stronger, these problems may start disappearing one by one as the nation focuses more on development. At the same time, india tries to defend its interests in J&K and not give up on the occupied land.
For israel, however, their actual large scale war effectively began just 3-4 yrs ago. Yes, there had been fighting for many years but Oct 7 was the real turning point for them. Their strategy will take time to work, it will not produce immediate results. It may take years or even a decade or two. But they are fracturing their enemies one by one and imo it is working well in their favor.
@green: USA can be seen as a big bully but its also true that almost every nation depends on them in some way, evn china. Because of this, no one is willing to confront them directly unless they become more self reliant, which is very difficult in the current global system. China has been strengthening itself for decades for this very goal. India realized this perhaps 20 yrs later but it is now on the same path. Our progress is slower because democracy and the complexity of the country do not allow for a very fast pace, but we are still moving in that direction which china currently leads.
