Bruce - I've had a deeper think than usual this time of the afternoon.. and here I am back again instead of getting on with important chores..
I can only speak for myself, but all things considered, this may apply for others...???
I suggest the reason why so many threads are obsessed with Israel and not India or other contentious regions, is..
K*****...!!!
Thinking back, I got hooked into all this many similar threads ago simpley because of K****'s persistent pernicious cynical exploitation of Jewish issues as an insincere ulterior motive for attacking the UK Labour Party, and the decent moderate folk he vindictively maligns as the 'extremist left'....
To much extent, this has backfired for himself. .. and Israel threads have since multiplied as he repeatedly squirms to justify himself and desperately seek help from those he conives into supporting him...
I actually ought to thank him for giving me motivation to resist his bile and learn more about, Jews, Israel, and myself in the process...!!!???
