The Israeli MPs themselves do not support the Zionist government and the cow-worshippers of India are fulfilling their cow-dung duty by raising the slogan “Israel you struggle, we are with you”. These cow-worshippers are as much a threat to the peace of the country as the Zionists are to world peace.”
