Israel issue
Abdul M. Ismail Liverpool, UK
In response to Oneil Osman's latest submission, I must correct some of his statements. It is true that Israel's electronics industry is one of the best in the world, but they are certainly not a rich nation. Over $10 billion per year is given to it by the US, most of which is in advanced arms and ammunition. The principal reason for Pakistan's interest to engage in diplomacy is due to the Indian-Israeli axis and Pakistan doesn't want to be left on the sidelines. It's the same reason why Pakistan sided with the US in the so-called "War on Terror" against an enemy, which the Inter-Services Intelligence helped establish. Turkish interest in Israel is due to the latter willing to supply the former with advanced electronic components for its military - something that the United States is not willing to do. Bangladesh's Special Security Force receives training in Thailand - who is trained by the Israelis. During the 1971 War against Pakistan, there were initial contacts between Israel and the Bengalis because of the former's vested interest to see Pakistan divided, although due to projected political fallout, no collaboration took place.The Zionist entity is a travesty of justice (against the indigenous Palestinian population) and unlike the US, if diplomatic relations is not a necessity, then why justifies its existence by engaging in diplomatic relations? The Zionists used their intelligence in ensuring support from major world powers - hence the reason why they can persistently flaunt UN regulations in the occupied territories and get away with it. Israel isn't going anywhere but if they want recognition, then this should be used as political leverage to gain something in return, otherwise recognition will only benefit an oppressor.
