India has always been a supporter of Arafat and his PA. Support for PLO was only political and India condemned its terrorist activities. Another aspect was that Indian support was based on the fact that Arafat was a secular with commie/socialist leanings.
FYI, India has never shown any support to the HAMAS. Indian stance is a two-state theory. Its up to the parties to hammer out a peaceful agreement and settlement. We extend our wholehearted support to that.
Yes, during Arafat years.
2000 Ramallah lynching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Israeli soldiers were beaten, stabbed, had their eyes gouged out, and were disemboweled. At this point, a Palestinian (later identified as Aziz Salha), appeared at the police station window, displaying his blood-stained hands to the crowd, which erupted into cheers. One of the soldier's bodies was then thrown out the window and stamped and beaten by the enraged mob. One of the bodies was set on fire. Soon after, the mob dragged the two mutilated bodies to Al-Manara Square in the city center as the crowd began an impromptu victory celebration.[2][3][4][5]
