Thank you for your compliment. My "radical and ignorant compatriots" are unfortunately usually kids who haven't traveled much (if at all) and are internet warriors who post stuff on forums without realizing how insensitive they sound or what a bad image they project of India.
Yes, I must agree with you that the Palestinian conflict is now overdue for a negotiated settlement. If I can recall, Arch- Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa who headed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which brought about ever lasting peace in that country, offered to head a similar commission for Palestine. If my memory serves me correct (I could be wrong), this offer was welcomed by the organization founded by the later Yasser Arafat (FATAH?) but rejected by Israel and Hamas. Why wouldn't two warring groups who are really achieving nothing meaningful refuse a respected and undisputedly neutral mediator is beyond me.
Well, of course I held many Indian users here (that I consider) friends in high regard so when I criticize Indian trolls (allow me to call some of them that) it does not mean that I have anything against India or Indians. It's just that I don't like when people meddle in a non-constructive manner especially if they are only preaching ignorance, hatred etc. That is why I never meddle in Indian affairs for instance for several reasons. I don't want to stereotype people, I have not a too great knowledge about Indian politics and internal affairs. If I want to know something I ask in a respectful manner in order to get an answer that satisfies me. I once did that when I asked about Kerala and Western India as those parts of India have had 5000 year old trade relations with the Arabian Peninsula across the Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean and the remaining ME.
I have noticed that many Indians are for unknown reasons hostile against the nearly 450 million (!) Arabs out there despite our close historical relations in terms of trade etc. and mostly totally peaceful coexistence. Maybe they confuse Mongols and other rulers of South Asia for Arabs. I have no idea. Again the ignorance.
Trade and cultural links between Ancient Arabia and ancient India date back to third millennium BC.

I think the last foreign ruler outside of Israel and Palestine that really cared about the conflict and wanted it to end (even at his deathbed) and who actually managed to not only make Palestinians and Israeli leaders negotiate with each other due to who he was and his history but he even was busy fighting for peace at his DEATHBED when he was sickly ill from cancer.
I am obviously talking about His Majesty and Sharif King Hussein I of Jordan.
If you got the time then watch this entire clip. Especially from 8.35. minutes onward.
In that same video the meeting with Rabin, Clinton etc. an also be seen before Rabin was assassinated by a radical Zionist.

More nonsense. The Levant region was always prosperous. While most Jews were poor marginalized people that lived in ghettos or were victims of pogroms. The Jews were the Negros of the Slave Period in the US in Europe for centuries. To put it directly.
Palestinians were talented craftsmen too.
Well, there will be a lot of future surprises coming from the GCC for your likes then. Still it's much more prosperous, stable and has a bigger potential on nearly all fronts. You are limited by geography and surrounded by enemies. Most of the technology is European too.
Nonsense. That's Nubians. Egyptians are a mixture of Semites and Hamites. More or less the same people historically. The only real Hamites are found in Horn of Africa but even they have a lot of Semitic admixture. Especially the Habesha and other Semitic speaking peoples.
