Imagine if western countries did this for that comedy about North Korea from a decade ago ("The dictator”?) that Kim Jong Un took offense too? There’d be crazy outrage. But when it’s about kowtowing to Israel it’s all fine.

India is Western?

No, but the contrast in the press spin is observable in the west, where we are and where this article is. There’s no condemnation, it’s framed as more or less understandable.
