We also believe that the Palestineans do need a home and that Israel should accommodate their just aspirations. Are the two lines of thought really mutually exclusive? I dont think so.
no they are not, i was talking more on the ground level and the thoughts of the common man in india, rather than on an official strategic level.
on the official level i dont think the indian administration really care about palestine as an actual issue in any meaningful way, infact i doubt they would ever flag a serious concern so as not to offend israel, but the average man in india does not approve of the palestinian situation, thus india must at the very least project a superficial response of disapproval.
i think as civilisational fault lines become more pronounced and india continues to change direction less and less people will identify with the palestinians over the coming years.
