Public sentiment indicates strong support for Israel among many Indians, influenced by historical alliances and feelings of gratitude for Israel's past assistance during crises like the Kargil War. However, a significant portion expresses frustration towards perceived inaction from Muslim leaders regarding the Gaza conflict, alongside calls for a more balanced and independent diplomatic stance for India. Polarized opinions exist around the humanitarian impact of the situation, with some voices questioning the effectiveness of protests and urging attention to domestic challenges.

Modi outsources his nation's poverty while doing the bare minimum to alleviate it back home. e.g. All the oil India imports from Russia is used to make plastics that are onsold to Europe making the corporations a fat profit. But Modi pretends the imports are to keep down fuel costs for the citizens.

More modern slavery, which the Indian government is fine with because the indentured workers send back valuable foreign currency. Why exactly do we consider this state the “only democracy in the Middle East” when it engages in all the shitty practices of the Gulf monarchies with which it has been developing increasingly close relations?

Palestinians have to deal with Zionists AND Hindutvas too ??

India benefited more than almost any other country from the Soviets providing aid and taking explicit, controversial stances in their favour on principle, or at least in such a manner as to appear to be on principle, and India is so comprehensively unlike that its insane.

Just like AI being “actually Indians” the sci fi robot takeover we’re all waiting for is really just going to be Indians taking over every country

The copperation and alignment runs deep. India takes a lot of inspiration from Israel, deploying Israeli tactics in the disputed Kashmir territory. The recent attacks on Pakistan were characterized as “mowing the lawn” by the ruling party, a phrase specifically used by Israel to describe period attacks on Lebanon and Syria.

Note to the incoming racist stupidpolers: you can dislike India as a state without dehumanizing the Indian proletariat any more than their own ruling class does. 

After their "independence", India’s bourgeoisie and political elite (close allies of England, by the way) annexed territories, crushed independence movements, and bullied neighboring nations to form a massive subcontinental slave-state. Its economy is mired in chronic unemployment and underemployment. In fact, you could say that's its role in the global system today- to function as a reserve army of labor *for the world*. The rich (often white) Western bourgeois of your respective countries will continue importing these workers physically by plane or exporting jobs virtually via Wi-Fi. 

And what is your impotent ass going to do about it? Absolutely nothing- except shit on Indian proles ofc.

As I’ve said before, posts like these, ones without the context I've outlined, only serve to stir up racial hatred toward a segment of the working class. Under capitalism/to capital/to capitalists, there is no meaningful distinction between a "worker" from your country and an "Indian worker". The real issue isn’t preserving jobs for one national or ethnic group. The real issue is abolishing the wage-labor system entirely and *moving beyond* this mode of production that exploits all of us.

Let's be realistic few month ago drones were being thrown a my hometown due to a conflict .luckily no one died this time but what about next.There will be next time.I personally don't have the luxury of protesting or supporting a conflict 1000 km away.

India's official stance is for a two nation resolution for the Israel-Palestine issue. BJP promotes pro- Israel protests and so it will be hypocrisy to not let pro-Palestine protests from happening since both don't go against India's stance on the issue. 

But it will be best to ban any pro-Palestine or pro-Israel protests in India as involvement of common citizens is never good for a country's geopolitics in the long run.

2.5 million yemen children face starvation. conflict has been going on since 2015.bombed by saudi .never saw protest against it in india.pakistan deported million pashtuns.never saw protest against it in india.i won't even comment on hindus in bangladesh apparently left don't even consider them human enough to talk about their suffering.these people are vultures who dance on suffering of Palestinians to gain political browny points.i hope hell is real.

Indians should care as much for Palestine as Muslim world did for Yazidis

Yazidi sex slave survivor book was banned after Islamic group mentioned it will promote “Islamophobia”.

Israel is critical for our defence buildup and our push for indigenous system. It serves us no purpose to make a stand in a war that doesn’t concern us. 

Hindus and other minorities in much larger number have been systematically wiped out in our own neighbourhood and literally no one in Muslim world or West cared. 

We dont need to support what Israel is doing, but we dont need to be hero also in a situation which doesn’t concern us. And certainly resist when people disturb you in public place with this kind of “protest”.

In a democratic country you have a right to protest, but do it in a specified area without intimidating and troubling common person

pratyush_1991

India is already helping Gaza by sending food and water. What else these people want? Indian government jumping in an all out conflict against Israel in Gaza? It doesn't work that way. We need Israel for defense supplies and technological exchange.

It's better to go to gaza and help people I guess people will openly welcome u with their arms then we can discuss about McDonald's I guess

Educational_Deal2138

They could have used real pictures of beheaded Palestinian kids instead of AI generated ones. The real world is quite horrible and I don't think we need AI images to make people realise the horrors of war, genocide, encroachment, systemic starvation of poor children and old people.

These paid actors will never ever once go to Palestine. If they do, they won't ever raise their voice for Palestine again. 

I mean, isn't it fascinating how these charlatans totally ignore the sheer level of brutal atrocities Hamas committed against normal Israeli people on October 7?

It's not just kids starving. It's a massacre. It's kids being burnt alive daily. It's kids losing limbs daily with no medical care. It's hell on earth. There is a lot more to our shared humanity than just 'caring about international issues.'

It’s striking how vocal they are when it comes to criticizing foreign nations, yet when atrocities happen closer to home or challenge their preferred narratives, there's a deafening silence. I can’t help but wonder what they have to say about the attack on October 7th, 2023, when Hamas brutally attacked Israeli civilians? Do their principles only apply selectively?

Are they uneducated or..? India has given Palestine way more aids and help then any of the so called Muslim countries, india has policy of being neutral and also israel has helped india when no one did go read history, india can't just stop having relations with them cause these stupid people said so, basic ass knowledge about the country you should know about cause you live in it

Did Indian communist show similar sympathy for hindus in Islamutva pakistan and bangladesh ? They chased hindus refugees away from bengal. No wonder they say when you find a communist and snake you know what to do first.

Eternal-mysteryman

I wouldn't step into a macdonalds to save my life, but this some stupid ass shit right here. They have no idea what they are protesting about and their priorities are completely messed up. 

This is one of those "do it for show, but not make any real impact in the world" type protest.
