As the West cheers on Israel’s starving of Gaza’s civilians to
soften them up before a ground invasion, it is important to understand how we
reached this point – and what it portends for the future
The
Indian reaction to the massive eruption of violence between Hamas and Israel on
Saturday belies ground realities and ignores the geopolitical environment in
that region and globally in which this cataclysmic event merits careful
appraisal. It will prove to be unsustainable and can damage the country’s
interests and standing globally.
Behind
all this lies Israeli arrogance; the idea that we can do whatever we like, that
we’ll never pay the price and be punished for it. We’ll carry on undisturbed.
