A powerful piece by Smt Sonia Gandhi ji today urges India to live up to its moral convictions on Palestine. As a well-wisher of Israel myself, and one who strongly defends its right to live in security & to repel terrorists, I agree with her view that India's ethical and civilisational heritage demands that we stand up for justice for the innocent victims of the unfolding horror in Gaza. Israel is a proven friend of India. But as a friend, we must tell them the truth: this carnage has already gone too far for too long. Israel must stop its merciless campaign. thehindu.com/opinion/lead/in…
