It does make you wonder why the Indian government would have anything good to say about Hamas. Considering the underlying similarities between the “Palestinian” cause for fighting Israel and the “Pakistani” cause for fighting India over Kashmir.

Since Hamas is comfortably distant from India, it costs them little to pose for the world public forum. They do want a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, after all. To actually take a principled stance against the tactics of terror and militant Islam EVERYWHERE might cost them something tangible, like the good opinion of the BBC.

Hopefully for them, Israel will be successful in this campaign, and the wolves of Hamas and Hezbollah will remain comfortably distant from the Punjab, as militant Muslims seem to hate Hindus almost as much as they hate Jews.
