The new protagonist?

Reader comment on item: India, the Most Pro-Israel Country

Submitted by Rebecca Moulds (United States), Apr 19, 2009 at 09:16

It is a shame and embarrassment to the United States, that India tops our country for support for Israel. This doesn't come as a surprise to me, however, because so many people are anti-semitic or anti-Israeli here, or just generally apathetic. That attitude could be to our detriment someday.
