Fresh Israeli-Palestine conflict evokes memories of past Kashmiri solidarity

The history of Palestinian and Kashmiri political conflict is similar in many ways. The territories are claimed by Israel and India, respectively, who make the claim based on historical antecedents. These similarities have strengthened the feeling of solidarity between the people of both territories, which have also been deepened further with the advent of social media platforms and the easy access to information. Besides the similarity of both causes, the statue of Palestine in the Muslim World and the struggle of Palestinians have a bearing on the conflict in Kashmir.
