Israel-Pakistan relations: How they are and how they should be.

The relations between these two countries since their independence have been mostly uneasy.
This has been mostly due to Pakistan's reckless pro-Arab/Iranian policy in Middle East affairs.

As I've mentioned in my other posts, I am no advocate of Israeli policies and have opposed the creation of a state like Israel especially in a sensitive area like the holy land which is sacred to Christians and Muslims alongside the Jews.

It is also in my belief that the ongoing Israeli-Arab hostility has only fueled anti-Jewish prejudice around the world, not decreased this feeling which was at it's peak in the Second World War.

Regardless of all that, Pakistan cannot afford an enemy like Israel. Thankfully unlike India, Israel has mostly kept a silent stance towards Pakistan instead of a war mongering blame game propaganda campaign.

There are instances of Jewish lobbies in North America publishing anti-Pakistan propaganda in books and articles, however it is nothing in comparison to the amount the Indian lobbies and media publish on a daily basis.

And even the minor bit of Israeli assistance towards India is all due to Pakistanis entering other peoples conflicts unnecessarily. If Pakistanis were not cursing the Jews and wishing them death the way Hitler did, I can almost guarantee today Israel would stay as far out of the Indo-Pakistani conflicts as much as possible.

Pakistan has literally cut off all trade and diplomatic relations with Israel and has tried not to miss any opportunity to please the Arab and Iranian regimes.
On the other hand we have not been given the same courtesy by them.

They maintain full relations with India both trade and diplomatic. Even during the Indo-Pakistan conflict, Arab pilots were only allowed to patrol Pakistani airspace to protect the country but were prohibited from engaging in direct conflict with India by their governments.

Pakistani pilots on the other hand voluntarily risked their lives to fight for the Arabs and were not restricted. Thankfully we did not loose any of them, however there was always the risk and had we lost them, we would not have had them in times of need.

This is putting the interests of Middle Eastern countries at the expense of our own. Pakistanis think they are doing a favor to the Palestinians and Arabs by engaging in conflicts with Israel when we are only hurting ourselves.

The best way to support the Palestinians is to vote in support of UN resolutions that pledges for a fair deal(s) for the Palestinian people. Other forms of condemnation will only hit back at us and encourage Israelis and Jews around the world to show more support for India in Kashmir.

To my knowledge Israel never took part in any Indo-Pakistani conflicts. But all that is changing with Israel selling India military technology and training Indian troops in Kashmir.

There have also been cases of Israel trying to sabotage Pakistan's nuclear program and probably still are, it is again most likely due to our pro-Arab/Iranian insanity.

I can almost guarantee Israel would never have tried to strike at Pakistan's nuclear facilities or sabotage our nuclear program had we been careful when dealing with Israeli-Arab issues.

Pakistan's nuclear program is only because of India's. Israel knew this and so does the rest of the world. Pakistan even proposed to India to sign a treaty several times to create a nuclear free zone in South Asia. This did not happen. But if it did, Pakistan probably would not have nuclear weapons because India would not have them.

I do not advocate opening diplomatic relations or trade relations with Israel due to threats of espionage and because I feel it is too late to build trust between the two countries after decades of conspiring against one another.
Pakistan should instead stay away from Middle East conflicts as we already have enough on our hands.

I discussed the pro-Arab/Iranian attitude of Pakistanis which is mostly due to General Zia Ul-Haq's Wahabbization of Pakistan.

According to a Baloch acquaintance of mine, General Zia wanted to counter the growing Shia Islamic influence of Iran. It is also well known that Zia wanted to counter the growing sphere of Soviet communist influence in Eurasia and the Americans supported this Wahabbization policy because it suited their agenda in the Soviet-Afghan conflict.

But this Wahabbization seems to have backfired for even Sunni Pakistanis live in worship of Iran.
Pakistanis who think of Iran as a brotherly ally are mistaken and don't realize the Shia regime there is actually anti-Pakistan. It's recent attempt to improve relations with Pakistan is to avoid further isolation by enriching it's nuclear program.

Like the Arab states, the Iranian Shia regime takes a neutral stand on Kashmir and has actually maintained better relations with India.

The Shia Iranian regime actually seeks to enhance it's influence in Pakistan through Pakistan's Shia population which is traditionally pro-Iranian.
A lot of the Shia-Sunni violence in Pakistan is due to Saudi and Iranian funding of both sides, creating more and more proxy wars.

Also it is very naive for the brainwashed, Islamitized, Middle Eastern worshiping Pakistanis to support Iran's nuclear program when even Israel's Arab enemies are against it.

Again, I do not advocate opening trade or diplomatic relations with Israel due to the threat of mistrust, conspiracy and espionage on both sides.

What Pakistan needs to do is minimize it's presence in Middle Eastern political affairs and only maintain trade relations with the Arab states.

Also what many readers might not know is that Israel and Pakistan were actually allies during the Cold War to keep out Soviet influence in Eurasia. The Israelis secretly supplied Pakistan with captured Soviet weapons in Lebanon to give to the Afghan Mujahideen in fighting off the Soviets.

It was not Israel that threatened to bomb Pakistan's cities with nuclear weapons, but the Soviet Union under Kruschev's regime. Studying political history will teach Pakistanis to change their attitude towards Israel.

Pakistan's problem is not Israel but the threat of the Indian Brahman elite, the Afghan Mellat, the Shia Iranian regime and to a lesser degree the Wahabbi Saudi government, all which are much closer to Pakistan's borders than Israel.

Instead of focusing on Israel, Pakistan and it's people need to get on top of key pressing issues faced domestically; especially overpopulation which has been behind most of it's other problems.
