Israel's predicament at 60

Dear Prof Pipes,

I rejoice at the completion of 60 years of the State of Israel and wish to congratulate its people through your esteemed columns.

Both Israel and India are victims of Islamic terrorism. The populaion of Muslims at the time of independence of India was 10% similar to that Israel and now Indian Muslims constitute 15% of the population also similar to that of Israel.

The problem with the Hindus is that they are somewhat docile and fatalists unlike Israelis who are great fighters. Indians have lot to learn from the Israelis.
