Re: Should Pakistan Support the Arabs now?
It's not even funny now. I've been listening carefully to the news reports in the world media about this Middle East conflict [the Israel/Palestinian one as well as the most recent one] and there's one eerie thing which always surfaces whenever the journalists interview the locals in the area. When the Palestinians are questioned, they go fairly along this monotone "Israel conquering the lands of us Arabs, we have right to defend" and so on. When asked about the problems and how they can be resolved they go like "The Arab world should help us". The real conflict is actually seen through the prism of the Arab ethnicity. The Arabs are reneging the treaties they signed with the Jewish leaders decades ago. Given their historic and present record, where everything in their mind is defined by two phrases - Arab and non-Arab, Pakistanis will be absolutely insane to defend them or even more idiotically take sides in any of their conflicts. We should go the way of Turkey and distance ourselves from these folks. Those preaching in the mosques to go demolish Israel are absolute idiots who're living in a fool's paradise, little knowing that the whole conflict is of the Arabs doing themselves. I'm sure our Turkish brothers will know.
