Bangladesh editor jailed for seven years over Israel visit

[UKBengali]

But we can at least have trade relation with it. Israel is very powerful country in the world. Palestine issue will not resolve in this life. India is developing 5G with Israel and we don't even allow anyone to go to Islam's 3rd most holy site Jerusalem (Masjidul Aqsa), In fact it was the first Qibla of us.

How would trade relations help?

It would annoy the Gulf states that we rely on for billions of dollars of remittance income every year.

Apart from the moral issue of recognising land usurpers, remember that other colonialist countries like US and Australia allow the indigenous inhabitants full rights in their native lands, what possible benefit will BD gain from them?

Blessings of USA and EU

We already have that.....we have high privileges from both these entities when it comes to trade and diplomacy.That's why they are already our biggest trade partners....Israel will not add anything significant to our relations.If Israel was a big country with a big economy then we might have thought about trading with them....but they are not big enough to buy enough stuff from us to impact our economy that significantly!

Because GoB does not recognize Israel as a country. Technically you can not go to some place which does not exist on earth.

Hehehe....good joke...bad logic...GoB recognizes Palestine as the state that owns the land that is occupied by a foreign force!

WE WILL NEVER HAVE RELATION WITH AN ENTITY THAT TOOK OUR THIRD HOLIEST CITY BY FORCE. ANY BANGLADESHI WHO THINKS OTHERWISE IS WELCOME TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC SUPPORTING THEM AND WILL RECEIVE MOB JUSTICE. THATS IT. END OF THE STORY.

bro here news:
Taiwan to open a Bangladesh office - Taipei Times
@Anubis

They said they were going to open one in 2004.....now they say they do not have an office in BD....did they come and leave??

You can not visit Palestine?

We can visit Palestine.but we cannot go to Palestinian territories occupied by Israel ....the guy(editor) was invited by Israel(illegitimate authority to visit a place they have occupied from Palestine)....so visiting and aiding the foreign occupiers of Palestine is a crime!

Israel is Technically advanced ... and the Jews are more influential in USA foreign policy ..

So? Muslims earned it through battle and we will take it back today or 1000 years later. Zionist cant be our friends . Jews are welcome. In fact most of our textile buyers are jew. They come to Bangladesh every now and then and are well respected.

He got 7 years not because of being a Zionist, he got 7 years for being anti government,

Thats the point everyone is missing. Lately he invented all kind of conspiracy theories against Hasina and got served....the new pharao

BD is getting what it wants at this moment in time from US.

By the time BD needs anything more from the US, then China will be ready as an alternative pole in the world.

Nothing to gain and everything to lose. It is a no-brainer.

On the issue of Recognition of Israel, Bangladesh stands together with most Muslim countries of the world:

International recognition of Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I wrote that they would call me a conspiracy theorists and anti-semite because my name is Khan.....
And coming to the point.....we might gain some things if we establish a relationship with them but we will loose our Arab partners....so we have to make a choice....and since Israel won't be taking in labors from our country and doesn't have oil to sell us we will go with the Arabs.....this is speaking from a diplomatic and strategic point of view...not from a moral or religious one!
