Why is our Government Cozylng Up to Brutal Dictators and Racist Killers?.
The BJP, which believes in wiping out the minorities and the Israeli Ariel Sharon who believes in "ethnic cleansing the Palestinians were naturalfrien~sandallies. The former kills in the name ofthe Moriginal homeland of the Hindus· and the latter in the name ofthe "original homeland oftheJews".lronically, the unholy "axis" of Sharon's genocidal Israel, India led by the communal fascists and Bush's war mongering US was forged in the.
nameof"fighting terrorism".Butthe new progressive Governmentatthe Centre is again making frtends.with some ofthe world's most bloodthirsty and brutal dictators, onceagainin the name of "fighting terrorism·. "Terrorism" is a ready-made excuse for befriending terrorist regimes!Vajpayee's red carpet for Sharon was greeted with spirited protests all over India. But what went less noticed was Sonia Gandhi's warmmeeting and handshake with Sharon. Clearly, the shift in India's traditional pro-Palestine stance, in favour ofan understanding with Israel is not.
simplyamatter ofIdeological unity of the Sangh and Sharon. The handshake of the Indian ruling class with the Sharon, who has the bloodofinnocents of Palestineon his hands, Is obviously dictated by the Imperialist US, to whom Congress Is as obedient as the BJPwas..
So, the UPA is furtheringthe defence and trade ties that BJPhad forged with Israel. Many defence deals have been clinched with the.
Israeli Military. Saddest and most shameful ofallisthe fact that even the CPI-CPI(M), which had opposed Vajpayee's closeness withSharon, has kept mum on the UPA's military andtrade ties with the racist colonizers who rule Israel. Instead, the CPI(M) has said that.
it isnot averse to state to state relations" with Israel. Recall that Jyotl Basu, as West Bengal CM, had led adelegation of Industrialists to.
do business with Israel in June 20001 And in February 2002, the SFI-AISF's JNUSU representatives of SLL&CS invited the CulturalAttache ofthe Israel Embassy to be the Chief Guest at the Closing Ceremony ofthe SLL&CS Film Festival Kalrav..
TheCongress-led UPA Government claims to continue India's traditional support to the Palestinian cause, while doing defence deals with Israel.EventheCPI(M) insists that it stands with the Palestinian people,and is opposed to Israeli terror against them, but they have no objection to doing.
business with Israel. We would like to ask the Congress andthe CPI(M), howIs Itpossible to support the cause ofthe Palestinianpeople while doing business with the State that colonlses them? Isn'tIta betrayal ofthe brave freedom struggle of the Palestinian.

Another instance of the UPA's friendship with akiller regime can be seen in the fact that the head of the Burmese military dictatorship, General.
Than Shwe, is now being officially hosted in India. He has met senior Army leaders as well as the PM, and has discussed "crackdown on terror" in.

Let us take abrief look at the history of Burma, and meet the new friends ofour Central Government. For nearly 50 years, Burma has been.
