The Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Sept 30 on the "recent developments in West Asia".
Modi later tweeted: "Spoke to Prime Minister @netanyahu about recent developments in West Asia. Terrorism has no place in our world.
It is crucial to prevent regional escalation and ensure the safe release of all hostages.
India is committed to supporting efforts for an early restoration of peace and stability."
How to kill an idea
Removing a movement's leaders and its funding won't end its influence, but a vision of something better can (Israel already has most of the pieces in place)
Israel can take advantage of the window of opportunity that Nasrallah’s death opened to end Islamic Imperialism
Over the past year we’ve heard repeatedly that, while it is possible to kill Hamas’s or Hezbollah’s leadership, it is impossible to kill an idea.
We were told that while Israel should do its best to defend against threats (which includes preemptively destroying offensive infrastructure), there is little to nothing we can do about the ideas that drive the Sunni (Qutbist) and Shiite (Khomeinist) versions of Islamic Imperialism. That the best we can do is draw our swords and wait.
This defeatist attitude not only leads to the pessimism of militarism, it is also simply untrue. There is no way to have victory if the enemy continually reforms and regroups. Countless ideas have been killed over the course of human history, dozens of political movements squashed in recent memory alone.
Even if embers continue to burn in odd pockets, the animating spirit of ideas including fascism, Leninist communism, and Klanist white supremacism, to name a few, have been defeated. -- 'Times of Israel'
