As an Indian I feel it is my duty to support Israel. They deserve respect and support. __________________________________
Their courage and patriotism is beyond any comparison.
It was the time of 1968 when a new nation, merely standing at the age of 20, which started with zero (literally) with its childhood occupied with internal pains, stood firm against 2 nations- Syria and Egypt. They did not surrender. Infact they won.
Again 5 years later, these 2 nations namely Syria and Egypt again repeated that cheap and inhumane tactic, this time when most of the Jewish soldiers were on holiday. They were equipped with the weapons supplied by the USSR. This time it was hard, and Israel lost its land of Sinai, which was captured by them in '68. But again they were able to defeat them
Whenever our newspapers fetch stories from Israel, we always read about gruesome act by Lebanon, Hamas terrorists from Gaza strip etc. It takes a lot of courage to withstand that pressure, internal and external especially when you are surrounded by hostile neighborhood.
India too shares the same positions with Egypt and Syria as Pakistan and China. With far more power and arms than the former two and coridially acting to move against India, internal tensions of Kashmir, naxals etc I believe that India must learn from Israel.
Their innovation (especially in arms)-
Well they are a new nation and have always supported India by providing with high quality weapons like IMI Tavor TAR-21 used by Indian special forces. A nation with little area is proving itself to be a backbone for arms supply for a huge nation like India. They have well managed their resources.
And yes, they helped us during the time of Kargil war by providing mortar, laser guided missiles, Israeli Heron and searcher Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Their help was crucial for us at the time of war.

The development they did in last 60 years-
As I already stated, they started from zero. And now Israel ranks 19th out of 187 nations nations on the UN's Human Development Index, which places it in the category of "Very Highly Developed" making Israel ahead of countries like France, Austria and Belgium. (India still ranks 135th)

And yes, their military is tough and powerful, and beautiful too
Israel is one of the few countries in which even women have to serve for military. What I mean is this
and this
Well, keeping jokes apart, I sincerely thank Israel for its support for India.
And I am pretty sure that an average Israeli does like India.
I wonder how an average Indian can resist to support Israel.
