Why did India become a partner of the Zionists in the Gaza genocide?

Mehr News, International Group: In recent days, the issue of India’s complicity with the Zionist regime during The genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has attracted the attention of the world; An issue that was first revealed by the Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonot.

This Zionist newspaper reported that the Indian government provides part of the ammunition needed by Tel Aviv in the war against Gaza, and since the beginning of the war against Gaza, ammunition and weapons such as He has sent mortars, artillery and small arms to the occupied lands.

This media added that the Spanish government in June stopped a ship that was traveling from India to the ports of Tel Aviv and was carrying 27 tons of explosives for the army. It was the occupiers, it has been prevented.

Yediot Aharonot also quoted the Indian media as saying that the Zionist regime has built a drone factory in Hyderabad to equip the Indian army. After the war, this factory has produced 20 drones for the Zionist army due to the downing of a number of the occupying drones by Hezbollah.

Why and how India allied with the occupying regime?

Looking at history, the turning of Indian policy from Palestine towards the Zionist regime is evident. New Delhi’s approach has changed from supporting the nation that lived under occupation to supporting the occupiers; Support that is not only limited to political and economic dimensions, but also extended to military dimensions.

In 1947, India voted against the partition of Palestine in the United Nations General Assembly and was the first non-Arab country to appoint the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the “sole representative”. recognized the legitimacy of the Palestinian nation. Also, India was among the first countries to recognize the state of Palestine in 1988. Although India recognized the Zionist regime in 1950, it did not establish any diplomatic relations with it until 1992.

Unlike in the past, as soon as the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation was started by the Palestinian resistance on October 7th (15th October), India immediately rushed to the broad political support of the Zionist regime. Only a few hours after this operation, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the first world leaders to condemn this operation, and the Indian Foreign Minister also took the same position.

Contrary to the high speed of reaction of Indian leaders in condemning Hamas and silence against the biggest genocide in history in the occupied territories, they have not taken any negative position against the Zionist regime until today. And Modi has called his Zionist counterpart “my friend” many times.

This alignment with the illegitimate Zionist regime and America continued until India refused to vote in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza on October 27 at the United Nations.

This approach, which was contrary to the positions of international organizations and other countries of the world, including European players, did not go away from the eyes of experts, especially Indian political activists. “Abhijit Mitra Lai Mitra” wrote in “X”: “Mr. Modi has refused to accept the existence of Palestine. Expressing support for Israel shows India’s support for Israel’s freedom to take any action that is in its interest.”

Indian Urdu-language publications, which mostly produce content related to Muslims, have written in this context that Modi’s support for the Zionist regime represents an important shift in Middle East politics. As an example, “Urdu Times” magazine wrote: Modi has announced that he is in favor of Israel, and this shows the change in India’s policy of withdrawing from the Israeli-Palestinian issue. India had always remained neutral in this regard.

All in all, the heinous crimes committed by the Zionists in the Gaza Strip have fueled a deep political divide in India. While Modi favors the Zionist regime and refrains from commenting on the Palestinians, the Congress party, as an opponent of the government, always reiterates its support for the rights of the Palestinians.

Behind the scenes of New Delhi’s turn towards the Zionist regime

After the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, India witnessed a change in its foreign policy and gradually leaned towards America. Likewise, India officially established diplomatic relations with Israel in 1992 during the Prime Ministership of Narasimha Rao and opened its embassy in Tel Aviv. At the same time, the Zionist regime also opened its embassy in New Delhi.

In recent decades, India has strengthened its relations with the Zionist regime by buying weapons. Since the election of Modi, India has bought 662 million dollars of weapons from the Zionist regime. Indian and Zionist lobby groups in the US work together and have mutual interests, including persuading the US to allow the Zionist regime to sell weapons systems based on US technology to New Delhi. Their bilateral trade is about five billion dollars a year, which will double with a potential free trade agreement this year. Meanwhile, the Palestinians cannot provide an advantage to India, including trade or military technology, like the Zionist regime. Therefore, the economic and military interests of India have made the leaders of New Delhi not only close their eyes to the crimes of this regime in the Gaza Strip, but also provide the weapons needed by the Zionists.

Also, the war of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip has created an opportunity for the influx of Indian workers to the occupied territories. Despite the intensification of the war and the danger to the lives of Indian workers, the number of Indian workers who are willing to go to the occupied lands to work, especially in the field of construction, has increased. This action took place after the war in Gaza led to the departure of thousands of Asian workers, the employment of reserve soldiers and the termination of cooperation of more than 130,000 Palestinian workers.

Haaretz newspaper recently reported that millions of Indians dream of getting work visas in the occupied territories thanks to the strong alliance between Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. They have.

Evidences indicate that not only Indian workers were sent to the occupied territories, and a number of Indians directly participated in the crimes of Zionism. “Khalid Abulfazl”, a law professor at the University of California, revealed that some Hindus are participating in the Gaza war alongside the Zionist forces. He also emphasized: “Hindu soldiers are involved in the killings of the people of Gaza by the Zionist army, and they are openly happy with what the occupying Israeli regime is doing with the Palestinians.”

Political and media activists have also confirmed this revelation of the seal, such as “Zafar Islam Khan”, the editor of the Indian newspaper “Milli Gazeta” who wrote: “About 215 Indians along The Israeli army participates in the war in Gaza.”

What seems clear is that New Delhi’s leaders turned a blind eye to genocide for military and economic advantages, from arms sales to labor exports. Unprecedented, Palestinians have been closed by Zionism.
