i wish things were so simple both in 1948 and in 1967 we were on the defensive side ( few against many )First of all welcome to Indian Defence Forum (DFI) and I hope you enjoy your stay here.
Since in your opening post you started to talk about your country and other information about it I would respond to it as well. I'm happy that India and Israel are good trading partners and hope that it remains so in future, infact hoping that our trading ties will improve with time.
Now coming off to other parts here is what I think about Israeli government and policies. I believe Israel has right to exist in the boundaries created by UN during partition of then Palestine which was governed by British mandate or to the 1967 borders (which does not include the illegal settlements Israel has forcefully stolen from Palestinians i.e, parts of West Bank etc). I believe Israeli government policies are oppressive and bordering almost apartheid in relation to West Bank and Gaza (illegal blockade and settlements). I also want to state that Israeli government should also provide equal rights to Israeli Arab citizens if it wants to treated as the "only democracy in Middle East" as Israeli politicians likes to cite that term more often.
I saw that you have lashed out at other members in this thread earlier of different opinions "All Arabs ..same mentality" thingy etc etc..so I hope it will bring peace to your heart knowing that this post is not made by a Arab/ Muslim but by a Indian (born Hindu now agnostic who believes in all Gods). Hope to debate you more around these forums on many more issues.
we won by the skill and sacrifice of our people why do you deny the right of the victor (considering he is the victim of attack )
to exact penalty on the vanquished ( considering the fact that they are the aggressors)
case in point: the seizure and expulsion of Germans from some east germen provinces by poles and Russians after the defeat of the Nazis
despite all this, the death of our women, children, the elderly (Islamic terror knows no limit ).
we tried three times (1995 , 2000 , 2008 ) to reach an agreement (we failed) .
they kept the nothing or everything mentality so we decided to create a border between Israel and Palestine unilaterally
according to our security needs
now we have all the tools for a battle off attrition
the facts:
1)Jewish birth rates and positive immigration are stable
2) Palestinian birth rates are plummeting and negative immigration is stable
3)terror is kept under control of our powerful army and secret services
4) the political power of oil is running low every year
we are not afraid we will win
