Noor Dahri is a director of Pakistan Israel Alliance (PIA) and Editor in Chief of the Newspaper Pak Israel News (PIN). He is an independent researcher based in London, UK. He has studied Counter Terrorism from International Institute for Counter Terrorism ICT- Herzliya - Israel. He is a honorary member of the ZF-UK

Landing in Israel was an experience like no other. I’d heard about the feeling of arriving at Ben Gurion from friends and colleagues I have met since founding the Pakistan Israel Alliance, but I certainly didn’t expect it to feel like this.

I was arriving early as a guest speaker of the IDC Herzliya Counter Terrorism Conference, and was the “advance party” as part of the Zionist Federation’s ground-breaking Muslim delegation to Israel.

Our group was in Israel from Thursday night until Monday afternoon. We saw many incredible things.

We visited the Western Wall, prayed at Al Aqsa, met with Israel’s first Bedouin diplomat and learnt of the Druze engagement with the IDF.

We travelled from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, visiting the site of Israel’s declaration of independence, went to the north of Israel and saw the changing demographic and environment, and spent the Shabbat hosted at a wonderful community in Jerusalem, Kol Haneshama, and by a fantastic spokesperson for the country in the form of a Jerusalem city councillor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and her family.

This was my first visit to Israel, and came off the back of much hard work by the Zionist Federation to build links with the Pakistani Muslim community in the UK.

This has been achieved firstly by founding the Pakistan Israel Alliance (PIA), of which I am proud to be the director, and more so by coordinating this visit and engaging with others from my community.

This journey has not been without challenge, though. Over the past couple of months there have been a series of articles in major Pakistani newspapers both in the UK and Pakistan accusing me of being a spy, funded by Mossad with a mission to destroy the Pakistani people.

While this is hurtful and horrible for me and my family to experience, it came as no surprise.

It is not a secret that to be a Zionist in Pakistan or within most Pakistani communities is not common and is not looked upon favourably.

But nevertheless I am determined to be a unique voice, rising above the parapet and ensuring that Israel receives its fair treatment within my community.

I was not always a supporter of Israel. I have joined the marches in both Pakistan and London where the crowds can be heard shouting the familiar slogans calling for “death to Israel, death to Jews.”

I have been drawn in by the incitement, hatred and indoctrination of those seeking only to bring about a time when Israel no longer exists.

But I have also met Israelis, studied at Israel’s institutions, and now, with thanks to the Zionist Federation, even been to the country.


The delegation in Tel Aviv

As a result of these experiences, I can say unequivocally that the impression within my community and the reality on the ground could not be further from each other.

I am now proud to call myself a Zionist, and I am proud to have been able to visit the land of Israel.

I just wish as many others as possible from my community would take the perceived risk, ignore the anti-Israel rhetoric that is so often spewed out, and visit this wonderful country.

This delegation may have been the first of its kind from the UK, and possibly the world, but the PIA and the Zionist Federation intend to do many more like it and to ensure that this trip, and trips like it, are able to grow and thrive in the future.

LOL AGAIN. Are you going to waste the forum bandwidth discussing the non entities who got zero value and worth?

Is that why they've sold themselves out to get help from the Zions against Iran?

Then iran also carried a joint operation with zions to take out saddam. Its not that iran is any cleaner. Never seen any pro zion wahhabi , arab rulers hidden support for israel doenst mena wahhabis would also support them, atleast wahhabis i have known have been staunch anti zions. Ur analogy is weird , u are saying al sauds support for a group means entire wahabbi group would support israel thats like saying since ex pm nawaz n his gov supported Modi so all paksitani support modi.

no I am proud to be supporter of a racist and brutal Arab kingdom that bombs civilians shoots at unarmed protesters , funds Al Qaeda, ISIS and taliban and executes its citizens for merely participating in rallies or writing a blog against the king. I am proud Saudi, Behraini , Qatari and Emarati supporter

but these countries have not occupied a foreign territory and named it as their own unlike israel. And why should calling out israel would mean one is a supporter of wrong acts of other states?

When I say Wahabi or Christian or any other religion/sect/ethnicity I mean the leaders of that respective group not the people! When you say Americans do you mean ALL of America? Well you may but I don't. Sorry for the confusion. I meant Al Saud's.

Poland passes Holocaust bill, infuriates Israel, Ukraine


WARSAW: Poland’s senate on Thursday passed a controversial Holocaust bill aimed at defending the country’s image abroad, prompting a chorus of dismay from Israel, the US and the EU and also angering Ukraine.

The legislation set fines or a maximum three-year jail term for anyone who refers to Nazi German death camps as Polish or accuses Poland of complicity in the Third Reich’s crimes.

But the bill, which the senate passed by 57 votes to 23 in the early hours of Thursday morning, has sparked a furious response in Israel and Ukraine, both of whom have accused Warsaw of trying to re-write history.

Israel has warned that the legislation could serve to deny the involvement of individual Poles in Nazi Germany’s extermination of Jews, with the vote prompting a sharp rebuke from the foreign ministry.

“Israel categorically opposes the Polish senate decision,” said foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon.

“Israel views with utmost gravity any attempt to challenge historical truth. No law will change the facts.” The legislation was approved by the lower house of parliament on Friday, prompting a flurry of Israeli efforts to have the bill dropped.

“We have no tolerance for the distortion of the truth and rewriting history or denying the Holocaust,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday.

You should be more concerned about your European peers slowly and gradually ditching the stigma of Holocaust.

Hi @Solomon2 .. be whatever you want , I don't think anyone's life or state affairs are affected by your statement.

Like all others here , You're just an irrelevant and a regular online person we see with no any strong affect on anyone's life .

I'm a vegan but a proud carnivore too .

I am a proud anti-zionist. Down with apartheid, down with racism, down with injustice.

Some closer to home examples: Apartheid. Racism. Injustice.

Declaring yourself an anti-zionist - a person devoted to robbing Jews of life, liberty, and property within their ancient homeland - isn't going to do anything to solve those problems, is it? But standing with the Zionists can, since by doing so you are standing for these human rights.
