An influential Jewish group has felicitated Indian-American physician Dr Bharat Barai for his relentless effort to strengthen ties between India, the US and Israel and his stand against antisemitism. \u201cWe stand with you, our Jewish brothers and sisters,\u201d said Dr Bharat Barai, an ardent advocate of the India-Israel relationship who has made six trips to Israel, adding that the collaborative relationship between the Hindu and the Jewish communities has benefited both. Dr Barai was presented the award \u201cfor standing against antisemitism\u201d at the \u201cCampus Championship Gala\u201d of StandWithUS on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHindus all over the world, along with most of the civilised world have condemned these brutal barbarian Hamas, affirming their solidarity with the Jewish people, and supporting the right of Israel to defend itself and demolish the demand of mass,\u201d Barai said amidst standing ovation from the hall full Jewish people in a suburb of Chicago. He hoped that after Hamas was eliminated by Israel, more countries from the Middle East would join the Abraham Accord. Referring to some of the news reports, he said these are by individuals who are misinformed or uninformed or hardcore religiously indoctrinated individuals. These are fabricated narratives, playing the victim card after committing a barbaric atrocity.<\/p>\n
Peggy Shapiro Director of Special Projects \u201cStand With US\u201d praised Dr Barai for his relentless support of the Jewish communities and the relationship between India, the US and Israel. She referred to the ongoing atrocities against the Jews by Hamas this month. \u201cThat\u2019s the special level of evil,\u201d said Peggy Shapiro Director of Special Projects \u201cStand With US\u201d referring to the recent brutalities and atrocities perpetrated by Hamas against innocent Jews in particular young children and calling for the destruction of the only Jewish State. \u201cWe are all here in solidarity,\u201d she said, \u201cNever again is not an expired slogan,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n
Born in Mumbai, Dr Barai is a distinguished physician, a respected leader of the Hindu American community, and an outspoken Zionist who helped pave the road for closer ties between Israel and India as well as between the Hindu and Jewish American communities. \u201cDr Barai has been very active in promoting India, US, and Israel relations,\u201d StandWithUS said. In his leadership role in the Indian-American community, Dr Barai has made it a priority to establish and strengthen ties to the Jewish and Pro-Israel community, it said.<\/p>\n
Barai was instrumental in StandWithUs\u2019s outreach. He made it possible for StandWithUs to host events such as \u201cAncient Cultures-Modern Miracles,\u201d a community celebration of 65 years of India and Israel\u2019s independence, a Hindu-Jewish Festival of Lights Celebrating Chanukah and Diwali, and dozens of programs, including a memorial for Daniel Pearl, underscoring the commonalities between the two communities, it said. \u201cWhen Israel was under attack by Hamas and in the media, Dr Barai mobilised Hindu support for three Interfaith Vigils for the Victims of Hamas,\u201d the organisation said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
