  "account": "Retired Madras High Court judge Hari Paranthaman expressed disappointment over India's recent change in its relationship with Israel, during the book launch for 'American-Israeli Injustice and the Duty of Civil Society' in Chennai. The book, authored by C.S. Rex Sargunam, delves into the ongoing disputes between the US and Iran, as well as the Israel-Lebanon conflict. Paranthaman recalled that in the late 1940s, Israel was recognized by only India, Iran, and Yugoslavia, among the few nations. However, in recent years, India has significantly altered its stance, actively supporting Israel. At the event's conclusion, Sargunam stressed the importance of unity in support of Palestine.",
