he..he.. you need to look in the mirror.

That India with 1100 million people is dependent on Israel with its 6 million people for so much of its defense requirements shows what a miserably failed state it really is. India Shining my foot.

To be fair, most Indians don’t see themselves as part of “a nation with 1.1 billion people.” At best, they see themselves as part of a religious/caste/linguistic community of 10-20 million people that happens to share the subcontinent with other religious/caste/linguistic communities…

BTW, have you even looked at the 2008 failed state index?

one ignorant comment

When a data-point is inconvenient, you call it an ignorant comment. When a data-point is convenient, you proceed by induction The adjectives ‘progressive’ and ‘secular’ apply to both Christopher Hitchens and Jon Stewart also. Do they also belong to the ‘jihadi/Al Qaeda’ alliance? Similarly, some yakees, hindus, and jews may find common ground, but that doesn’t mean our interests mesh well together for all time.

Yea, those pesky Palestinians. Die already! Suki: We did teach those Palestinians a lesson. We had 1300 kills to their 13. Yeaa! Plus we also killed 300 future terrorists.

Why is that. Just because of one ignorant comment I’d not want to break the alliance. It is formed against the “secular progressive / jihadi / al-aqeda ” alliance.

yikes! Is that a blow to Rob’s unfortunate y-front (yehudi, yindoo [sic], and yankee) theory?

But me, I like modernity, and the Yankees, Yindoos and Yehudis are at the forefront of it, unlike your friends (though I’d include the Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese on our YYY side). But groove on my “hatred” if you want to.

I was viewing an acquaintance’s orkut photo album. In one pic, he was with a bunch of cute Ladakhi kids, with the caption “these chinky kids are so cute”. Others had commented on the photo,confirming that chinky kids were indeed the cutest. Possibly,they were all sincere and completely clueless about the racism of their statements. I cringe when I hear terms like Kalu/chinki/gori chamdi. Often they are descriptive terms, made without malice, but they always reflect a very prejudiced thought process. I think we seriously need education and sensitisation on racial issues in India.

he..he.. I’ve heard a lot of racist comments from Indians in US against blacks..

So Obama should avoid dealing with India.

How does it show that? That was an incredibly stupid observation. They supply, we buy. End of the story.

Maoz’s use of the intifada as a metaphor for the situation is far from coincidental. During her visits to India she heard several Israelis compare the Indians to the Palestinians before the intifada. “They’re primitive and dirty, but they serve us exceptionally well,” one Israeli backpacker told Maoz, “just like the Arabs in the territories before they decided to raise their heads.

Well, good to know why India is such a popular destination for young Israelis. I confess I have been puzzled. We are not close to the Israelis culturally and touring India can be painful. I would have thought Europe/America would suit Israelis better.
