Only a wimp issues statements like this. We have no business supporting Palestine. Iran, yes, for Oil and historical relation and they being a better Islamic country than many we know.
None of the above applies for Palestine, so why do we still keep supporting them. What if one fine day Israel decides they want to support the 'Azadi' movement of the Kashmiris because they claim that India is an occupier?

There is evidence Iran is directly supporting Hamas.

Can anyone throw some missile on why Hamas randomly starts pissing off Israel. Especially when they know they can't fight Israel with what they got. There must be some iota of strategy in their mind.
May be when they are low on funds they start pissing off Israel.

After these attacks the funds starts pouring again in the name of religion.

Well the war currently serves both the Israeli governments and Hamas's interest.

Israel uses disproportionate force, of course. on one side a professional army, on other garage-made artifacts.

deaths' statistics proofs the high gap among forces: 137 palestinians killed against 5 israelis

Israel has also fought when disproportionate force was forced on it by all its neighbours... check its wars for details.

I think you are right about that. The cycle is: funding - rearming - initiate rocket attacks - receive punishing IDF response - call for ceasefire - then back to funding again. Do you see where Hillary plays her role?

Israel is doomed anyhow in the long run. A small country eventually gets the rough end of the stick in such instances and this will happen when usa stop assisting it.

On the other hand we shouldn't pick any side because neither suits us.

yes I agree India should just "request" rhetorically and say "deescalate" the "regional imbalances" as it will lead to "regional peace" and hope for the "minimal possible delay" from both the sides in achieving the "stability". Khurshid seems to go off the board. he must not sound "vociferous" and "predictable".

What war Israel fought in disadvantage force against Arabs??

Except the first war in 1948, on all other wars Israel had military advantage.

Even in the Independence War Israel violated the cease-fire agreement and bought weapons, a thing Arabs didnt do in respect to agreement.

How could India turn its back on its ally Israel. So much for strategic partners.
This is just votebank politics nothing has changed in relations. Every time
things heat up with hezbollah Indian UN peacekeeping forces are in Israel.
