Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

Understandable.

India started "IMEC" to assist Israel very early in this conflict. Typical of Modi, the entire "supply chain" was mapped out and implemented. In Oct, 2023!!! Within a few days, not weeks.

The challenge was "transportation". Rail vs. road.

Take care.

Do not know where to post this fun fact. The current Palestine flag was the flag of Jordan between 1920-30 or so.

Jordan, around 1930 added a star, which is what the Jordan flag is today. Give and take some.

(((So, send the Palestinians to Jordan and be done.)))

A small clarification.
