As an indian, this poll comes as no surprise. Lots of similarities. Both have suffered the pangs of terrorism for over 3 decades. the world media has mostly turned a deaf ear to the warnings by these 2 nations anout the global threat of terrorism, until 9/11. both countires are seen as enemies by islamists, for devil only knows what reason?!? Indians and Jews have been persecuted in their homelands. Jews were driven out of Mid east, their home land. India has lost over 40% of its ancient territory to Islam - Afghan, Pak, Bangladesh. now they want more, Kashmir. Tomorrow they'll ask Delhi also.

India can learn a lot from Israel. how to respond brute force with brute force. If there was an attack on an Israeli city, like Mumbai attacks of nov 08, I know the Israeli response would have been very very different and strong. But India could not even create a voice. All India is doing is exchanging letters with Pakistan. Penpals, ah?!?
