It is necessary for the world to stand with Israel : HJS

Through a Press Note, Mr Ramesh Shinde (Spokesperson of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti) said :

Recently, terrorists of the ‘Hamas’ in Palestine launched a fierce attack on Israel, deploying thousands of rockets via land and sea, resulting in the death of hundreds of Israelis. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) strongly condemns this terrorist act. Indians peacefully coexist with Jewish brethren in India, and HJS stands in their support.

Jihadi terrorism is an international threat; today, Israel has been attacked, tomorrow it will be Kashmir and then it could be any other region in the world. Hence, Jihadi terrorism must be condemned and repelled globally.

Israel is a friendly Nation of India, and we should wholeheartedly support our allies when they face such challenges. We laud our Hon. Prime Minister Narendra Modi for promptly expressing solidarity with Israel in its fight against Jihadi terrorism.

Much like ‘Hamas’, India too faces significant threats from certain anti-national forces within the country, which endanger the Hindu society mostly and our national security. For electoral gains, some people, groups and political parties have been directly supporting Palestine, which in a way means indirectly supporting ‘Hamas’.

Unfortunately, after the Central Committee meeting of the Congress Party, it has announced support for Palestine. On the one hand, the Congress advocates the right of Palestine to have its own land, right of self-governance and a life of self-respect and dignity; while on the other, from the same Palestinian land, ‘Hamas’ attacked Israel and killed thousands, abducted women and tortured them, yet the Congress has not uttered a word on this.

If Palestine people have the right to live with self-respect and dignity, then shouldn’t the Israelis also have the same right ? Does the Congress expect Israel to indulge in Gandhigiri (The act of turning the other cheek without resisting when slapped on one cheek – face the consequences without resistance in this case) after it was attacked ? The Congress stance amounts to supporting Jihadi terrorism. Therefore, besides condemning the attack by ‘Hamas’ on Israel, the Congress which supports Jihadi terrorism should be condemned as much.

Students of the Aligarh Muslim University also took out protests against Israel, and this happens to be a very serious matter. The students of this University are openly supporting a terrorist organisation. We demand that this incident be investigated through the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

Jihadi terrorism is an international threat; today, Israel has been attacked, tomorrow it could be any region in the world !
