      It didn’t use to be like this. Arafat visited India and was respected by everyone regardless of religion.

      Hindutva-corporate media and BJP Social Media apparatus is responsible for this.

      I also like how US flag is first because the list is alphabetized and it’s referred to as “America,” and also ‘Am’ is lower than ‘Al’ (as in Albania) in the alphabet, yet Albania is second on the list lol

      you guys will only ever be considered in racist terms by isrealis why do this to yourselves

      The Israeli vs. Arab opinion of Indians isn’t any different, so what’s the problem? I don’t think any ethnicity/race is less racist to Indians than another one, so that reasoning is bunk

      Every Israeli/Russia/America reactionary simp in India should certainly be reeducated or minecrafted, but I don’t see an inherent problem with this map. Although I will admit it probably reflects something (see below)

      There’s also the fact that this polling probably only reaches the richest and most reactionary parts of upper middle class India anyway, who are turbo reactionary and obsessed with Muslims

      Alternatively, it’s because social/history education in India is so bad (and is getting worse) that the poor classes (aka 90% of the country) are basically being brainwashed (keep in mind most of these people were illiterate 2 decades ago)

      And a final point, although I admit this is probably not relevant; Palestinians benefit from their closeness to Europeans–if they weren’t located in the Christian holy land then nobody would care (just like they do about the Rohingya)
