India’s Kashmir policies draw chilling parallels with Israel’s treatment of Palestinians
#IndiaBringingIsraeliModelToKashmir
Srinagar: Political experts and analysts have drawn stark comparisons between India’s policies in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, with critics accusing New Delhi of emulating Israel’s settler-colonial agenda and techniques of oppression in Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the parallels drawn between the two occupations highlight the alarming similarities in the strategies employed by both India and Israel to suppress the rights and freedoms of the occupied populations.
since Narendra Modi’s re-election, his government has been pursuing a staunchly Hindutva agenda in IIOJK, mirroring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hardline approach against Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank. The controversial domicile law, which grants residency rights to non-Kashmiris, is seen as a brazen attempt to change the demography of J&K, echoing Israel’s settler colonial project in occupied Palestine.
Indian troops have received training in Israel for violent operations in Kashmir, employing tactics used against Palestinians. The Modi regime’s land and property grabs, economic choking, and demographic manipulation are all strategies straight out of Israel’s playbook.
Analysts like Anand Ranganathan have openly called for an “Israel-like solution” to Kashmir, revealing the disturbing inspiration behind India’s actions.
Meanwhile, Kashmiris and Palestinians continue to demand their UN-recognized right to self-determination, facing occupiers that blatantly violate international laws.
India and Israel are now considered the world’s two most egregious violators of human rights, with their close military cooperation posing a dangerous threat to humanity and global peace. The international community is urged to intervene and support the people of IIOJK and Palestine in securing their birthright.
