Khalil Jahshan, executive director of the Arab Center Washington DC, said Danon s atypical Twitter overture to Biden stemmed from the unusual nature of relations between the two countries, in which the US treats Israel like a spoiled child . It s behaviour typical of a brat, Jahshan told MEE. When you don t get your way - even on minor things - you feel like it s a zero sum game. That s the only way to put this type of complaint in context.
Despite the Israeli protest about Biden s apparent snub of Netanyahu, the new US administration has been nothing but reassuring towards Israel, to the dismay of Palestinian rights activists.
Indian Americans, who turned out in huge numbers at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rock star-like rallies in the United States, are divided over the direction India is headed, a new survey showed on Tuesday.
Modi’s nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has extolled the achievements of the Indian diaspora in the US and elsewhere, seeing them as a large support base to advance India’s interests in host countries.
But only 36 percent of Indian Americans believe India is on the right track, while 39 percent think it is not, according to the survey of Indian Americans released by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

Summary
Since coming to power in 2014, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made outreach to the far-flung Indian diaspora a signature element of his government’s foreign policy. Modi’s courtship of the diaspora has been especially notable in the United States, where the Indian American population has swelled to more than 4 million and has become the second-largest immigrant group in the United States.

They oppose crackdowns on media and police force on peaceful protesters
Indian Americans are divided on their views about India’s trajectory, while the most popular political party in the country is the BJP with Prime Minister Narendra Modi being supported by almost half of Indian Americans, a new survey report has found. It also found that most Indian Americans oppose government crackdowns on the media and the use of police force on peaceful protesters.
Respondents are also more liberal on U.S. issues while holding more conservative positions on Indian matters.
