Ping!!!
A truly classic line!
Interesting!
I'm afraid India's quick rout of the Pakistanis brought it the same trouble Israel's victory did in the Six Day War -- humiliated Muslims seeking revenge via terror.
This guy, and not Sharon, should be negotiating with Abbas.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

& do you think it would have been a wee bit different if India or Israel had a stalemate or even lost???Terrorism is imprinted in the religion of these folks-you really can't blame them for following it!!As far as I know,The Bosnian muslims & Kosovar Albanians have no qualms on terrorising Serbs despite having Yugoslavia dismembered for them.
What a fascinating man! I now have to read his book.
Off late they have been seeking revenge even in Cricket. Even the game of Cricket for them is "jihad"!
Gen. Jacob is a true hero. A great warrior indeed.
I think I am on this ping list.....if I am not, can you please add my name?
Thanks.
Ping for the Unlikeliest Indian.

NEW DELHI: Israel has emerged as the second largest military hardware and software supplier to India after Russia but the defence establishment here still goes blue in the face to play down the "special" strategic relationship with the Jewish state.
In the latest such incident, chief of staff of the Israeli ground forces command, Brig-General A Mizrahi, arrived in the Capital on Wednesday to further bolster sharing of military intelligence, equipment, joint training and exercises.
Though both South Block and Army headquarters were tight-lipped about Mizrahi's "hush-hush" visit, it's yet another indicator that the switch-over from the Vajpayee regime to the Manmohan Singh one has not affected the burgeoning military ties with Israel.
Sources said the Israeli officer would meet Army chief General J J Singh, vice-chief Lt-Gen B S Thakur and the two deputy chiefs during the visit.
India also briefed the visiting Israeli delegation on its "security perspective", including the counter-insurgency situation in Kashmir, during the discussions on Wednesday. Israel, in turn, explained the "challenges" it faces in its "volatile" neighbourhood.
According a well informed source, "The first-ever joint military exercise between the special forces of the two countries is also on course to increase 'interoperability"'.

He has a cafe au lait complexion, so he "looks" Indian. Still, it's wonderful to hear that he never experienced anti-Semitism in the Indian army.
Pardon me,but what exactly is a "Jewish look"??Many Israelis I have seen don't look all too different from their fairer Indian counterparts or Arabs.Anyway about the anti-semitism part-India has had no history of it(unlike Britain) & it has hosted the world's oldest Jewish communities outside the Middle East.That's also one of the reasons why Indo-Israeli ties are booming.
I never used the phrase "Jewish look".
I know,but I have never seen real noticable physical difference which sets out Jews & local populations in most countries where they have been living for centuries.JFR's family has been living in India for probably over a thousand years.
