Oh please that would be amazing . <| sep |> Hi , this is very anecdotal and may not be accurate . Modi ' s closeness to Israel is the end result of a very long and gradual shift . There has been a subtle and slow change in tone in Indian newspapers covering IsraelPalestine , from the early 2000 s when I started reading to today . At that time the position in the press was always for independent Palestine , now the position is more like the European position which also talks about Israeli suffering . Of course this could be a false impression in my mind . But I know that Gandhi was very proPalestine and so was Nehru , so it ' s maybe the shift has been happening slowly since the 60 s . On the other hand , rightwing Hindu organisations have always had great love for the Israeli military , so Modi being exceptionally close isn ' t a surprise .
