India just launched an Israeli Spy Satellite which will probably spy on the Arab World and yet its strange that Arabs and Iran have better relations with India than Pakistan.
Maybe because India is a larger economy and thus economically and financially benefical to have better relations with India than Pakistan.
India launches Israeli satellite
India has successfully launched an Israeli spy satellite into orbit, officials at the Sriharikota space station in southern India say.
They say that the operation was secret and carried out under tight security.
The Tecsar satellite - sometimes referred to as the Polaris - was put into space on Monday morning.
Tecsar is said to have enhanced footage technology, which allows it to transmit images regardless of daytime and weather conditions.
It is considered to be one of the most advanced spy satellites that India has put into orbit to date.
Correspondents say the launch was the second commercial mission on behalf of another country that has been carried out by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
“It was a grand success,” an unnamed official told the AFP news agency from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
Israeli newspapers reported that both Israeli and Indian space engineers were at the launch, and that 80 minutes afterwards, the Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) ground station began receiving Tecsar’s first signals.
Well, this is no surprise to me. This is another proof of how close India and Israel are working together. RAW and Mossad have tied up and we all know how dangerous Mossad is. The only Intelligence which has rights operating totally freely world wide.
^Money makes the world go around. And who said Israel is not directly or indirectly making deals with Iran? Iran would be carpet bombed by now If Israel would have wished too...you know politics is quite complex with lots of traitors and hypocrites occupying influencing thrones.:)
But whatever the call is for Ahmadinejad. No one can beat him when It comes to simplicity, modesty and honesty. Jo marzi uske khilaaf ke lo. A down to earth person and that matters a lot!
My opinion is that India Israel and many Arab nations do not give as much predominance to the Muslim-Jew conflict as a few people still do. It is just not the biggest issue.
^this your opinion, merc2k. And my brain says (with some analysis from readings and sayings) those who really care are sitting in countries like Egypt, KSA, Palastine. If you go through history you will notice that we Muslims once had great relationship with Jews (back in Spain). Christian priest made conspiracies so that all the back stabbing started between those two groups. War was the result. (Just an short example of that Muslims can live with Jews side by side and even hand in hand).
India has had good relationship with every country in the world except pakistan for obvious reasons.
India is also closed friends with palestine, saudi arabs , etc etc..
i guess being labeled as largest democracy, a neutral country and good foreign policies made this happen.
lots of isrealis as well as arabs visit india every year, isrealis for visits and arabs for studies.. i guess that also kind of sends good signal to their respective countries..
india is on dodgy ground,
indian muslims will NEVER accept a close israelli- indian alliance
israel is supporting india to weaken pakistans ability to get involved in arab affairs. israelli india policy is all about iran and pakistan
Actually India is in petty solid grounds. Numerous contingents of Indians, including senior muslim leaders, have been part of the Isreali relationship. In fact a couple of years ago a report said Indian muslim leaders were actually calling for rest of the world muslims to mend ties with Israel.
So I don't know where you are getting your impression from. Or more likely you are just making it up thinking you can stir up some controversy. That is just practicing yellow journalism and I hope you see that.
As to Israel supporting India to weaken Pakistan's involvement win Arab affairs - I don't think the Arabs want Pakistan to get involved in their affairs. When Musharaf openly offered to broker middle east he was summarily snubbed.

Arabs are in no shape to force India to untie its relationship with Israel, however that is not the case for Pakistan. Besides, Pakistan goes an extra mile to please them Arabs.

if you think indian muslims will accept israel your on cloud cuckoo land. if the indian islamic community is shown evidence of an indo-israelli alliance which hurts any muslim country then the battle lines will be drawn.
you do have indians who support pak cricket team when they are playing india dont you? look into this statement

his proposal was rejected outright by israelli pm. the israelli policy towards settlement relies on palestinians having no-one at the table who is sympathetic to its cause.
israel is and will avoid dealings with anyone who places expectation and demands upon them.
pak already has strong enough ties to one arab country to share its strategic weapons with but pressure from the mid-east conflict made it rename its bomb from islamic to pakistani. so yeah israel are just managing to keep their interests in this field
why is it like india launching israel's satellite will annoy arabs?its just like another customer of isro,likewise KSA iran Abu dhabi who r also isro's customer.only difference is israel uses isro's rockets to launch its satellite and arab countries uses isro's insat satellite transponders.when arab countries use of isros services doesnt annoy israel then they should not feel belittle if israel also uses isros facilities.its like france doing business with both india and pakistan(selling agostas to pak and scorpenes to india).

then aren't arabs hypocrities, defending the palestinians and yet forging stronger ties with countries who have excellent relations with Israel and yet not forging ties with countries who support the palestinian like Pakistan
so isn't this one big sham at the expense of the innocent palestinian people?

Stereo type! I give you the reason: Do you think KSA is unhappy with what is happening in Palastine/Syria/Lebanon, when Hizbullah (syria, iran sponsored), their main objector, is being carpet bombed by Israeli Fs?? Think again!
Sending up Israeli satellite represents a number of things:
Technological prowess
Good profitable business
Expanded defence capability
International trust, credibility
Instead of turning this into yet another muslim jew controversy, if you had any sense, the discussion should be on how India achieved such capability and whether it is a necessary goal for pakistan.

Many Indians won't agree/think along with what I am going to say.
All this indian space program is being pursueid more out of patriotic reasons and not really for scientific reasons. I don't agree with this approach. It should be more out scientific and commericial reasons (but it is true that to a certain extent for the sake of business it is being done).
If patriotism is the driving force behind the space program then whats wrong with it? btw if you look at the list of satellites and other man made space objects India launched are research oriented or help science in one way or another. very few of them had any commercial value as India has to prove itself first then only you can expect foreign contracts.
after sending so many of our own satellites we proved the reliability of our launch vehicles and just now we started getting foreign commercial orders. thats the way it has been with every country. even american and russian program was pursued out of patriotic reasons..

There is nothing wrong in it. It definitely might act as a motivating factor(initially). but it is just my opinion that, it should be done first for scientific/commercial reasons, and patriotism should come next. Many indians tend to get tooo proud for these things out of ultra-nationalism/jingoism and place patriotism first. and yes, american and russian space programs were out of patriotic reasons. But have to mention that as of now, US space program is more for scientific reasons and patriotism is something which is second. Even earlier, i don't tend to believe that missions like Voyager of NASA were more out of patriotic reasons but they were rather scientific. But russian program was out of sheer nationalism
