Congress Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor said that though the Hamas attacks on Israel should be condemned one needs to be aware that there is a "larger issue" at stake here and one needs to take note of the "dehumanising occupation" continuing at various places in Palestine.

"While we understood the Prime Minister's standing up for Israel and showing solidarity at this time of great grief and this horror..., at the same time we felt that his statement was incomplete," Tharoor said while speaking to ANI on Wednesday.
