The world is being reordered by those who act and those who define. If India wishes to be counted among the latter, it must ensure that its silence does not speak louder than its convictions. We are living through a moment when the rules of the international system are being rewritten in real time. Assassinations of leaders, the killing of civilians, open assertions of force—these are no longer aberrations but instruments. In such a world, silence is not neutrality. It is read, interpreted, and often misread as consent. India has long claimed a distinctive space in global affairs—not as an appendage to power, but as a voice shaped by its own civilisational experience and its history of speaking for sovereignty, restraint, and balance. That voice mattered because it was consistent, even when inconvenient. Strategic autonomy cannot mean adjusting our language to the hierarchy of power. Restraint has its place. Calibration is necessary. But when fundamental questions arise—about sovereignty, about the limits of force, about the protection of civilians—India cannot afford to be silent. A moral compass is not an ornament of foreign policy. It is its direction. Without it, realism drifts into accommodation, and autonomy into ambiguity. This war has damaged India’s interests in almost every practical sense. It has raised costs, narrowed diplomatic room, stressed shipping, complicated Chabahar, and injected fresh instability into a region vital to India’s economy and external strategy. Even if New Delhi can cushion the blow, it cannot plausibly claim that the blow itself serves India. The deeper question is whether India is willing to say so with sufficient clarity.
Put aside that you're an antisemite who constantly conflates "Jews" with "Israel", you're also an ignoramus who just repeats the hasbara talking points you've been given and know nothing about Middle East history. Here's what Israel's own prime minister said in 1982 about 1967: “In June 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.” Also, Google 1956 too, dumbass.
🇱🇧🇮🇷 Lebanon has declared Iran's ambassador persona non grata and ordered him to leave by Sunday. Lebanese FM Youssef Raggi made the announcement, instructing the Iranian Chargé d'Affaires to be summoned and informed of the decision. Iran's embassy will retain a Chargé d'Affaires but top diplomat Mohammad Reza Raouf Sheibani is getting the boot back to Tehran. Source: AP, Times of Israel
