unfortunately, the ordinary muslim is seeing an zio-indian alliance growing. Zionists are playing on the anti-muslim sentiment in the world right now, and therefore, you would unwillingly be connected in that hence. I would understand you if Israel was a fair and peaceful country who only minds its own business. But reality is that it was built on ethnic cleansing of a people, it's predominantly racist, it terrorizes anyone who dare question it, wages aggressive wars in neighboring countries, assassinates political opponents, annexes territories gained in war, continues occupation, kills civilians and destroys civilian infrastructure etc etc etc.
My personal opinion is that you will gain more by finding an ally who has not lost it. Israel is like a mad dog, paranoid and bites people to the left and right. You are looked upon as an ally to israel by many muslims, and hence approve of the above mentioned wrongdoings.
You should instead think longterm.
Canaan, I understand what you mean, but you have to also see it from our perspective. As a sovereign nation, we have to look out for our interests, just like every other country in the world. To Indians, India comes first. Then comes the countries which help and support us.
We have our fair share of adversaries. Aside from that, we are also plagued by terrorism. We need allies who stand by us. Even when we had no ties with Israel, most of the muslim world supported Pakistan, our adversary, over India. This was the case ever since independance. They even sent their planes to help Pakistan during the Indo-Pak wars.
Israel, on the other hand, has supported us strongly ever since we established relations with them. They supply us with state-of-the-art technology at affordable prices so we may shore up our defences against any military aggression. They help us in our counter-terrorist activities. Also, they act as a bridge between India and the USA, and the Jewish lobby in USA is generally pro-Indian. All this helps enhance India's stance in the world.
In addition, the Israelis even recently said that India's defences matter to them as much as their own. This is not something a nation says lightly. That shows the depth of Indo-Israeli relationship. The last time we had such a strong ally was when Leonid Brazhnev sent a sub to counter US carrier threat to India in 1971.
Now you tell me, how can we dump an ally like Israel, who has helped us so much, for the sake of the Muslim world, who has always favoured Pakistan over India?
India has always supported an independent Palestine. We sent peacekeepers to Lebanon after the 2006 war, and helped thousands of Lebanese with medical care and supplies. If I recall correctly, even Hezbollah lauded our efforts to help the Lebanese.
India was never against the Muslim world, despite them always turning on us in our time of need. We are home to the third largest Muslim population in the world. India has never supported Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands or killing of civilians.
India is one of the few countries that has great relations with Israel, and yet shares a reasonably good relationship with Israel's adversaries. I believe India can act as a mediator to try solve the Palestine issue, but we will need co-operation from both sides.
