India, Israel and US Part of 'Axis Against Terrorism'

Press Trust of India | Hindustan Times | September 10, 2003

"Israel on Wednesday said that an 'unwritten and abstract' axis with India and the United States has been created to combat international terrorism and make the world a more secure place for all."

Israel on Wednesday said that an "unwritten and abstract" axis with India and the United States has been created to combat international terrorism and make the world a more secure place for all.

"There is mutual interest of the three countries in making the world a more secure place for all of us. There is American support for development of this unwritten axis," visiting Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Yosef Lapid told reporters in New Delhi.

Replying to questions on the issue, he, however, said that there was "no formal triangular agreement" on such an axis among the US, India and Israel but "in the abstract sense, we are creating such an axis".

In this regard, Lapid also referred to the recent remarks by a US State Department spokesman voicing the hope that Indo-Israel relations would flourish.

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
