As Israel's bombardment of Gaza invited sharp criticism from the global community, the Indian Rightwing Twitter-verse has erupted in solidarity with Israel.

Hashtags such as #ISupportIsrael, #IndiaWithIsrael, #IndiaStandsWithIsrael and #IsrealUnderFire have trended on Indian social media over the past week.
