Israel's Gaza Venture Hits Chord in Wounded India
[Bloomberg] Amity Shlaes - Individual Indians have been speaking out in the press and on blogs about similarities between the missile attacks from Gaza and the November attack by terrorists who killed 164 people in Mumbai. Shashi Tharoor, a former UN undersecretary general, summed up the attitude in a recent column on "India's Israel Envy." "As Israel demonstrates anew its determination to end attacks on its civilians by militants based in Hamas-controlled territory, many in India, still smarting from the horrors of the Mumbai attacks in November, have been asking: Why can't we do the same?" A growing mutual admiration between India and Israel is showing up at levels both commonplace and lofty.
