1. How Indian parties stomach to buy From Israel?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.10.09)
Indian parties in government by no means compatable with Israeli policies or Israeli government India should avoid relations with Israel especially flowing money to Israel. India has more scientist even than total Israeli population and buying military technology from Israel? It is really not understandable Is this another hoax to boast Israeli domestic politics showing Israeli business in good health?
2. Yes We can
Surya ,   Bangalore, India   (11.10.09)
Congress is the ruling party in India. This is the party which allowed Israel to set up its embassy in India. We know when to separate politics and defence matters. What matters most is Israel's technlology is the best and both the countries are fighting a common enemy. India should develop very good relations with Israel and stop supporting palestinians who never voted for India in the UN on the Kashmir issue. Also, regarding the number of scientists, what matters is the quality of scientists rather than the quantity. When will the enemies of Israel grasp this truth?
3. Notice Surya
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.10.09)
How the Islamists attempt to control you and your country? We on the otherhand have no desire to control you. We do wish that your government stop supporting the racist Arabs, but that is merely a wish. Yes we have a common enemy. I hope that our friendship continues to grow.
4. #1 Having a meltdown, Tayfun?
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.11.09)
One door closes and another door opens. Your country benefited from Israeli military technology for years but due to poor decisions being made by Erdogan and Co., you get to march back in time with Iran. Frankly, India is a much better business partner for Israel.
5. My replies are not allowed and turnt to Deafs' dialogue
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.11.09)
For example I replied to Above Indian pretending Jew Surya but censured.
6. turkey v india = no contest
martin ,   stevenage uk   (11.11.09)
next time turkey has a major catastrophe e.g. earthquake, no doubt your new found friends in the arab countries and iran will assist you?? for some reason, based on recent events i doubt it. I have no doubt indian and israeli relationships will continue to develop ever more closely. they both have a common hatred. my indian friends here in the uk are very pro israel. one way of ridding israel of moslems is to do what they did in gujerat. bring in wild boars to roam among the islamic villages.
7. Dont Mix Politics with Arms Deal !...

1. Dont Mix Politics with Arms Deal 2. Yes you by only from your "friends' I do agree Politics does play some role; but dont you think when you buy something, you tend to buy whats best available & whats that suits your pocket 3. India always has good relations with ISRAEL (remember we have a some Jewish Population for centuries) 4. Plus, Why make such a fuss over good dealings- (ISRAEL) are they supplying/selling it to the terrorists or for wrongful activities- REMEBER WE IN INDIA HAVE DEFENSE FORCES not Terrorist forces & these are for counteracting & protecting our defenses 5. Indian Scientists/Indian research is strong; however focussed in certain sectors' So whats wrong in acquring !?. 6. We (India) doesn't need to answer every Abdul, Assad & Akram...Our 'true buddies' know what we are/what are our intentions are- !!! Good luck, criminal minds out there ! Soorya Narayana
8. India endorsed goldstone report at UN
La Cumparsita   (11.11.09)
So why is Israel selling to them when their govt does not allow Israel's own right of self-defence & by endorsing goldstone, endorses hamas terrorists?
9. aloha ! Alhambra Decrererer......
S Narayana Moorthy ,   Singapore   (11.12.09)
aloha ! Alhambra Decrererer...... I agree that they can that "there can never be a good war" However since I'm pessimimo-optimist- I dont ever agree that" there could never be a bad peace ".... Arab world can never ever be trusted !. a) Gladstone report is a genuine inquiry into reports by the very own ISRAEL armed forces not so happy about certain issues dealing with operations carried over by ISRAEL over GAZA............................. I hate any War. For war machinery is only for destruction & loss of Life. What a cruel world, .....But dont you know as to why ISRAEL launched such an operation ?....to counter GAZAN Rockets ponding their civilian population. Hey you hold an ant by your fingers, it bites...You dig tunnels all across bring in rockets & pound day in day out what the hell you expect ?... b) India started the Non-Aligned movement in the best interests of the "third World "countries. India always stood as a symbol for peace over centuries. We never invaded any country except when we went to War only to protect our borders. We stood behind Palestine-hoping it would reach a peace treaty with ISRAEL in solving its independence & statehood. We (INDIA) Shall ever do support 'PEACE' and we shall never support loss of hhuman life. I dont think its bad diplomacy supporting something thats not done right ! c) Hey, where the hell was Arab world when the Pakisthani militants backed by the "army" killed dozens of innocent Bombay-ites.......but they on to the streets in protest of ISRAEL invading GAZA ?. LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE MUSLIM SUPPORTERS OF PAKISTHAN LIVING IN INDIA-As ISRAEL is a Jewish State- INDIA is a HINDU STATE. If Muslims dont like INDIA . PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE. HEY GO TO YOUR BRTHERNI IN THE ARAB WORLD-WHO are there to accept you with Open ARMS !!!... Soorya Narayana Moorthy Alias Tomás de Torquemada
