Being firm with Israel and Iran

Like most Indians, I like both Israel and Iran (and any foreign country for that matter). The world would be a better place if Iran and Israel were friends. I don't however see that as a likely scenario at the moment but while these countries continue their "lovefest," the Indian Government needs to tell them to keep their violent activities out of our territory.

The attack on an Israeli diplomat's wife in Delhi this week was probably the first instance where India was used as a setting for settling international scores. Israel and Iran have been trading charges on this attack as well as botched attacks in Bangkok and Tbilissi. India has enough problems with terrorism and we don't need Mossad and the Quds force slugging it out in Chanakyapuri. Considering how sloppy the attack was, I doubt either agency was involved but India needs to tell these countries that such acts will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
