Israel is no longer India's mistress

[Vikrant]

India is openly acknowledging its relationship with Israel

---

Though India has, over the years, maintained intimate relations with Israel, Indian leaders have been hesitant to make these relations public.

Hence the metaphor of a “mistress” has been used by Israel to describe India’s attitude toward the Jewish state. Ties could be enjoyed but had to be kept secret.

However, New Delhi’s approach has been changing.

At the end of May, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared his intention to make an official visit in Israel before the end of the year. It will be the first such visit by a prime minister since India’s founding in 1947. Even after the two countries inaugurated full diplomatic relations in 1992, no Indian prime minister has made an official visit, though prime minister Ariel Sharon visited New Delhi in 2003.

...

India could have easily continued to treat Israel as its “mistress,” reaping the benefits of cooperation with the Jewish state in the fields of military technology, intelligence, agriculture, water security, hi-tech and diamonds while espousing an unabashedly pro-Palestinian line for public consumption.

What explains the change? Part of the answer has to do with a feeling that New Delhi, despite having the world’s second-largest Muslim population, has been poorly compensated for supporting the Palestinians. Arab countries have failed to back India against Pakistan in the dispute over Kashmir. Economic ties with countries such as Saudi Arabia are built on mutual interests. Besides, Israel is seen by the Saudis as an ally, at least vis-a-vis Iran.

...

And ultimately, caving in to extremist Muslim dictates is bad for India. Muslim countries have next to nothing of consequence to offer India. Even cheap oil and gas can be acquired on the open market. The days of a powerful OPEC cartel is over.

...

Combine all this with Modi’s leadership style of publicly expressing what India and Indians actually believe and value. Modi is right to conclude that India is strong and proud enough to abandon its practice of doing one thing and saying another. By ceasing to treat Israel as a “mistress,” Modi is affirming the values and goals to which he hopes his own people will aspire.

There was good reason for that. Had Arab nations truly learned how deep the connections were they would have done MORE to destroy the base economics of the up coming India.

Kinda exposes the lack of Indian integrity ... eager to toss Israel under the bus in exchange for Mideast Arab/Muslim compensation but frustrated by the lack of reciprocation. Welcome to Mideast politics. The sad fact is many countries play the same lame game. The silence of the Arab World during the recent Gaza/Israel war exposed the underlying reality that they now see Israel as a dependable ally for regional security and stability and the Palestinians as a very real threat to both.

I think DarkFury sums it up well in just one line. That proves that you do not need multi-lines to make your point.

India-Israel co-developed missile to be test fired

NEW DELHI: India and Israel are likely to test fire this month the long-range surface-to-air Barak 8 missile, jointly developed by the two countries, which can act as a potent shield against incoming missiles, aircraft and drones.

If the test to be done in Israel is successful, another would be conducted on board an Indian ship before September. This, according to defence sources, will pave the way for installation of Barak 8 missiles, an upgraded version of Barak systems both the countries use, on board Indian warships.

The missile had undergone a successful test in Israel last November.

Though initially the missile was to be fired on board an Indian ship, defence sources said it would now be done on board an Israeli ship first.

"Following the last test, the Indian Navy had recommended certain changes which have been incorporated. The coming test will check whether the changes are successful. Following this, a test would be done on board an Indian ship," the sources said.

The Indian ship likely to be used for testing is INS Kolkata.

The launchers and radars to track the missile are already in place.

The test will be conducted against an incoming missile by the Navy.

The missile is being jointly developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, India's DRDO, Israel's Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, Elta Systems, Rafael and other companies.

The state-run Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) will series-produce the 70 km-range Barak-8, with 32 missiles to be initially fitted onto INS Kolkata.

Barak 8 is being considered to be a major asset for Indian Navy because it would add a potent system designed to destroy any anti-ship missile launched by Pakistani or Chinese navy.

Key to Barak 8's ability to intercept incoming missiles is Israel-made MF-STAR radar system which is capable of simultaneously tracking hundreds of airborne targets to a range of more than 250 kilometers.

That is interesting.

Does that mean ISIS has Israeli blessing to attack India? (far fetched)

Or, are you saying that ISIS will never attack India because Israel may not approve of it?

IS Will target India simply because of Hindus and the fact Muslims are under the govern of Hindus. The love of IS to Jews is a whole different story, however with plans to recruit Milliard fighters to their ranks I hardly believe its anything personal.

The subject is viral...ISIS = Israel....the only people who "seem" (using the word "seem" VERY loosely) to be unaware of that salient fact are the hasbara agents working for various entities.

For example, YAHOOing the search term ...iran says isis is israel secret intelligence...yields 3 million hits.

The one thing you shills tend to forget is there is western media (96% which is zionist owned) and eastern media. There are FAR more people living in the East than in the West and they don't owe Zionists anything.

So, their medias report the facts that are covered up in the West.

Actually, there may be an alternative. Given how the Zionists are also trying to get their former homeland The Pale (aka The Ukraine)...(aka Khazaria)...back.
